At my practice, I address a broad spectrum of conditions including hormonal imbalances, gastrointestinal disorders like IBS and SIBO, autoimmune diseases, and conditions affecting mental health such as anxiety and depression. I also focus on women’s health issues such as PCOS, endometriosis, and menopause. My approach integrates functional medicine and holistic care, tailoring treatments to each patient’s unique needs, aiming for not just symptom relief but optimal overall wellness.
Functional medicine is an individualized, patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. It involves a detailed understanding of each patient's genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and uses that data to tailor personalized treatment plans.
Integrative medicine combines conventional medical treatments with alternative or complementary therapies that are supported by scientific evidence. It aims to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms, by considering the individual's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. This approach often involves collaboration among multiple practitioners from various specialties to provide well-rounded, comprehensive care. I work closely with other providers involved in a patient's care to ensure optimal results and respect the patient’s preferences in their healthcare team.
I have completed extensive training in both functional and integrative medicine, including a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, specialized courses in functional medicine, and continuous education in the latest health and wellness research. I have a diploma in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Internal Disorders and am certified in Family Practice from National University of Health Sciences and the Council on Diagnosis and Internal Disorders, certified in Brain Chemistry, Blood Chemistry and Functional Endocrinology from Apex Energetics. I am certified in Systems Health Care.
Yes, when a condition requires specialized care beyond my scope, I refer patients to trusted specialists and coordinate with them to ensure comprehensive, integrated treatment.
