What We Treat
From acute issues to complex, chronic conditions, many of our patients come to us after years of seeking answers. We specialize in identifying and addressing a wide range of health concerns with care and expertise.
Autoimmune Conditions
Autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, chronic inflammation-related headaches and migraines, & immune hypersensitivity like allergies, require a thoughtful, root-cause approach. We work to identify and address key triggers such as gut imbalances, chronic infections, stress, & environmental toxins, including mold mycotoxins & heavy metals. Our goal is to calm systemic inflammation & restore immune balance. Using personalized nutrition, lifestyle strategies, & targeted therapies, we support long-term immune regulation, without excessive dependence on immunosuppressants.
Cardiometabolic Health
Our root-cause approach to addresses weight, cholesterol, & blood sugar imbalances. Using advanced testing, including comprehensive lipid panels and insulin markers, we detect early signs of cardiometabolic dysfunction that can lead to conditions like diabetes, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, & high cholesterol. Our personalized plans combine targeted nutrition, movement, sleep optimization, & precise supplementation to restore metabolic balance and often reverse early-stage disease.
