Our Approach

Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is a systems biology-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. This field of medicine looks at the human body from cellular to organ levels and involves the study of fundamental biological processes which cuts through organ systems and medical specialties.

Natural Medicine

Supplements, nutrients, and vitamins play an important role in fighting illnesses and keeping us healthy. By focusing on proven natural remedies, which also includes diet and lifestyle changes, we can help the body’s vital ability to heal and maintain itself.

Mind-Body Medicine

Stress is a major culprit in many ailments and our state of mind has a great impact on how our body responds to stress. A well-adjusted mind-body utilizes relaxation response as a healthy way of dealing with daily stress. The body’s natural relaxation response can be triggered using breathing techniques, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery. Through workshops and private consultations, we will address stress and ways of dealing with stress.

Other Useful Approaches

Other methods that can be utilized in the integrative approach may include acupuncture, aromatherapy, ayurvedic medicine, homeopathy, massage, and chiropractic care, etc.

Diagnostic Testing

In addition to a detailed history and physical exam, we employ cutting edge, advanced laboratory testing to help us diagnose and treat your child’s illness. We offer detailed testing of your child’s hormonal, digestive and immune systems as well as your child’s current burden of main toxins and infections.

Wellness Program

You do not need to be ill to visit us. We believe that health is not just a lack of disease but also a sense of well-being. The primary goal of our wellness program is to enhance your child’s ability to experience optimal health. This is not your typical yearly physical but rather the ultimate “tune-up” visit. During this visit, we can also help you to identify your child’s risk for diseases and give you information that can protect your child from illness. We can help you craft a personalized health plan for your child by combining the scientific approach of Western medicine and the wisdom of Eastern medicine.
