Dr. Mike here; we will verify and focus more on internal disorders by doing functional blood labs, dietary changes and assessments, lifestyle medicine, and exercise prescriptions. We will use supplementation from vitamins, minerals, herbal medicine, and other techniques such as mindfulness, wellness coaching, and exercise regimens.

We can incorporate vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and herbal medicine supplements.


Acupuncture/Dry-Needling

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It's based on the belief that energy, or "qi," flows through pathways called meridians. By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to balance the body's energy, relieve pain, and promote overall wellness. People often seek acupuncture for issues like chronic pain, str... Read More

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It's based on the belief that energy, or "qi," flows through pathways called meridians. By stimulating these points, acupuncture aims to balance the body's energy, relieve pain, and promote overall wellness. People often seek acupuncture for issues like chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions.

Dry Needling is a form of acupuncture that does not focus on energy stagnation or the meridians but works directly with pain management. It targets the tendons and muscle bellies to target the specific region with pain, dysfunction, decreased range of motion, and other complaints for a short period. It is excellent for headaches, migraines, TMJ issues, knee pain, shoulder pain, and others. This therapy may use some meridian points, but it does not intend to utilize all of them. Also, this therapy may come with complimentary electrical stimulation and red light therapy if needed.

Nutritional Assessment for Weight Loss & Chronic Disease Management

Our nutritional assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to help you achieve sustainable weight loss and manage chronic conditions through personalized nutrition. This in-depth analysis considers your dietary habits, metabolic health, gut function, food sensitivities, and lifestyle factors to develop an evidence-based plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect in Your Nutritional Assessment
Comprehensive Health & Dietary History
We review your medical history, eating patterns, symptoms, and past challenges to understand how nutrition impacts your overall health.

Body Composition & Metabolic Analysis
We assess key factors such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, metabolic rate, and inflammatory markers to guide personalized recommendations.

Functional Lab Testing (If Needed)
Advanced testing may be recommended, including hormone panels, blood glucose levels, micronutrient deficiencies, gut microbiome analysis, and food sensitivity testing.

Personalized Nutrition Plan
Your plan is not a one-size-fits-all diet but a structured nutritional strategy that aligns with your weight loss goals, metabolic needs, and chronic disease management.

Meal Planning & Supplement Guidance
We help you select the right foods while considering digestive health, inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and micronutrient balance. Supplements may be recommended based on scientific evidence.

Ongoing Support & Adjustments
Follow-up appointments ensure your plan evolves with your progress, helping you stay on track and make necessary adjustments based on your body's response.

This science-driven, functional medicine approach empowers you with practical strategies to reach your goals while improving energy, digestion, and long-term health. Book your assessment today and start your journey toward optimal well-being.
