I mix both traditional medicine with aspects of functional medicine using advanced testing such as neurotransmitter, genetic-nutritional analysis, and cellular energy production testing to name a few.
As a Naturopathic and Chinese medicine physician, I focus on treating the underlying cause of disease often resulting in "miraculous" cures to even the most complicated health disorders. Using the holistic healing principles of both Nature Cure (Naturopathic) and the ancient system of Chinese medicine I individualize treatments to meet your needs and not the disease. This is where the magic happens. Within my holistic practice, I specialize in the treatment of thyroid disorders.

I primarily treat chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. My belief is that these are often multi-faceted. Injuries can ultimately be a result of structural or movement imbalances that go beyond a simple slip and fall. Pain itself can have multiple causes; there are different "types" of pain. As such, patients often need a diverse approach and my goal is to help guide this process.

Functional Medicine Naturopaths
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is an alternative model of healthcare that generally emphasizes a person-centered, rather than disease-centered, approach to health. It integrates conventional Western medical practices with more alternative approaches to health, emphasizing individualized services that take into account each individual's unique lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. The functional medicine model particularly emphasizes managing chronic conditions, especially for patients who haven't responded well to conventional medical treatments.
Practitioners include licensed medical doctors (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs), who treat various conditions including chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal dysfunction, and metabolic syndromes. However, patients should be aware that not all practitioners who practice functional medicine have licensure, and some modalities practiced by functional medicine providers are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Nevertheless, finding a functional medicine practitioner can be transformative for many clients who seek a more integrated approach to medicine that includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and stress management.
