Vitality Medicine Clinic

Acupuncture is a well-regarded, time-tested integrative therapy that supports the body's natural healing systems by restoring both energetic and physiological balance.

Practiced for thousands of years, acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and involves the gentle insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body.

This process stimulates the nervous system pathways, reduces inflammation, enhances circulation, and promotes a deep state of relaxation and healing.

Modern research has confirmed the effectiveness of acupuncture in addressing a wide range of conditions, particularly when it is integrated into a comprehensive whole-body healing plan.

In our approach, acupuncture is frequently used to reduce chronic pain, regulate the nervous system to aid those with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and sleep issues, and balance hormones, which supports fertility, menstrual health, thyroid function, and menopause.

It also enhances digestion, relieves IBS symptoms, calms gut inflammation, supports detoxification, bolsters immune resilience, and helps manage autoimmune conditions and stress-related disorders.

We do not view acupuncture as a standalone treatment; instead, we see it as a synergistic therapy that complements other interventions such as Advanced Nutritional Therapy, herbal medicine, detox protocols, and mind-body therapies. By regulating the autonomic nervous system, increasing vagal tone, and improving the body’s overall response to various healing modalities, acupuncture enhances energy flow—often referred to as Qi—and stimulates key acupoints. This helps the body return to its state of homeostasis, aligning perfectly with our goal of treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while restoring natural balance for long-term healing and vitality.

Advanced Nutrition Therapy (ANT) is a personalized, science-based approach that uses food and targeted nutrients to support healing, boost energy, and prevent disease. 

By analyzing lab results, genetic testing, and health history, practitioners create tailored nutrition plans that may include diet changes, supplements, or gut-healing protocols.

Designed to address the root causes of illness - not just symptoms - it's often used alongside conventional care to manage chronic conditions, improve immune function, and enhance overall well-being. 

ANT's personalized, data-driven nature makes it a powerful tool for long-term health optimization.

Find It. Understand It. Heal It.

We test for heavy metal toxicity to identify both chronic and acute exposure to toxic elements such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum. 

Our approach focuses on the root causes, examining not only the presence of heavy metals but also how they may be affecting detoxification pathways, mitochondrial health, immunity, hormones, and neurological function. 

Chelation therapy is a medical treatment that uses specialized compounds known as chelating agents—most commonly EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid)—to bind and remove toxic heavy metals from the body. 

These agents can be administered either orally or intravenously, depending on the individual's needs and the severity of the metal burden. Once bound, these toxins are excreted through urine, helping to reduce the body's toxic load. 

When in the bloodstream, the chelating agent attaches to heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, forming a compound that the body can safely eliminate.

By reducing this toxic load, chelation therapy may support the body's natural detoxification systems, lessen oxidative stress, and improve overall metabolic and cardiovascular health. 

Chelation therapy is often considered for individuals with confirmed heavy metal toxicity.

However, in specific integrative or functional medicine settings, it may also be used as part of a broader strategy to support cognitive function, reduce inflammation, or enhance overall vitality, always under medical supervision. 

This therapy is FDA-approved for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning and iron overload disorders, such as hemochromatosis, and has a well-established track record in these areas, particularly for cases of industrial or environmental exposure to harmful metals.

In integrative and functional medicine settings, chelation therapy can also support cardiovascular health, reduce systemic inflammation, and assist in managing chronic conditions like atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The NIH-funded TACT (Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy) has shown promising results for patients with heart disease.

A roadmap to understanding nature's Interactions, Genetic testing is a powerful tool that offers profound insights into a person’s unique biological makeup. Instead of using genetics to label a diagnosis or predict a fixed outcome, our practitioners utilize genetic data to guide personalized prevention and healing strategies. 

This empowers individuals to make informed choices that support their long-term health and resilience. In this context, genetic testing typically examines single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)—small variations in genes that can influence how the body processes nutrients, detoxifies chemicals, manages inflammation, regulates hormones, and repairs DNA. 

Key areas often explored include methylation pathways (e.g., MTHFR, COMT), which affect mood, detoxification, and cardiovascular health; detoxification genes (e.g., GST), which determine how effectively the liver processes toxins; inflammation and immune response genes (e.g., TNF-alpha, IL-6), which influence susceptibility to chronic diseases; nutrient metabolism genes (e.g., VDR, FADS), which affect vitamin D, omega-3s, and other essential nutrients; hormonal balance and neurotransmitter function, which link to stress, sleep, and mood regulation; and longevity and oxidative stress genes, which impact aging and cellular resilience. 

These genetic insights are never viewed in isolation. Our physicians interpret them within the context of an individual’s lifestyle, environment, lab results, symptoms, and health history. 

This comprehensive approach allows for the formulation of highly tailored interventions, such as optimizing nutrition based on genetic needs (e.g., incorporating more folate-rich foods for MTHFR variants), supporting detoxification pathways with specific supplements and therapies, adjusting exercise, stress management, and sleep strategies to align with genetic tendencies, reducing the risk of chronic diseases through early, targeted interventions, and monitoring and modifying environmental exposures with greater precision. 

The true power of genetic testing in functional medicine lies in its actionability. It provides a roadmap rather than a diagnosis, assisting patients in understanding how their genes interact with their daily choices and environment. 

By harnessing this knowledge, our physicians help patients translate genetic insights into lifelong health strategies, moving beyond guesswork to achieve precision-based, personalized care.

IFCT is a sophisticated, non-invasive approach aimed at identifying and correcting deep energetic and biochemical imbalances that contribute to chronic illness, immune dysfunction, and toxicity-related disorders. 

Developed by Dr. Yurkovsky, FCT integrates principles from bioenergetics, homeopathy, and clinical systems biology. It is based on the belief that illness arises from disrupted communication within the body’s energetic "field." 

Practitioners utilize bio-resonance testing, often through electrodermal screening, to evaluate the body's energetic responses to various stressors, including toxins (such as heavy metals, pesticides, and mold), infections (including viruses, bacteria, and parasites), emotional trauma, and imbalances among organ systems. 

Unlike conventional testing methods that focus on chemical or structural aspects, FCT assesses how well the body's control systems are functioning. The goal is to uncover what is disrupting the body’s self-regulating and healing capabilities. 

Once the energetic and toxic burdens are identified, FCT employs customized microdosed homeopathic remedies that are energetically matched to the stressors.

These remedies are designed to neutralize interference fields, clear toxins, and restore proper signaling between organs and systems. 

This precise targeting allows the body to initiate healing at both the cellular and systemic levels, often leading to significant improvements in chronic or complex conditions. 

FCT is beneficial for patients dealing with chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, neurological disorders, allergies, environmental or heavy metal toxicity, chronic infections (including Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus, and parasites), and for children facing developmental, behavioral, or vaccine-related concerns. It also addresses chronic emotional trauma and energetic blockages. 

FCT is most effective when integrated into a comprehensive functional medicine plan that includes Advanced Nutritional Therapy, detox support, gut healing, and nervous system regulation. This ensures that both the physical and energetic systems are aligned for healing. 

Field Control Therapy provides a refined, individualized roadmap for detoxification, immune recovery, and restored vitality—by working in harmony with the body’s intelligence rather than against it.

We aim to go beyond merely addressing symptoms; our goal is to understand root causes, restore balance, and provide the body with what it needs to heal itself.

One of the most essential needs of the body, often taken for granted, is oxygen. This is where HBOT comes into play.

HBOT is not a new treatment; it has been used for decades in hospitals to treat conditions such as decompression sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning.

We utilize it as a powerful tool to support the body's natural healing processes at the cellular level.

During HBOT, patients relax inside a pressurized chamber while breathing 100% pure oxygen.

The increased atmospheric pressure allows oxygen to dissolve into the plasma, not just the red blood cells.

This significantly enhances the delivery of oxygen to tissues, including those with poor circulation or inflammation.

The effects of this therapy create a cascade of healing benefits, such as reducing inflammation, stimulating collagen and tissue repair, enhancing the immune response, increasing stem cell activity, and boosting mitochondrial function.

Our physicians incorporate HBOT to address a wide variety of conditions that stem from chronic inflammation, hypoxia, poor circulation, or immune dysfunction.

Due to its ability to improve numerous physiological processes, HBOT can serve as an effective adjunct therapy in various situations including: Long Haul Covid, Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), chronic fatigue, autism, neurological health, autoimmune conditions, cancer treatment support, anti-aging and longevity, as well as athletic performance and recovery.

Our practice focuses on addressing systems rather than just symptoms, and HBOT is a holistic, multi-system therapy that aligns seamlessly with this mission. It does not merely mask pain or suppress underlying processes; instead, it enhances the body's capacity to repair, regenerate, and thrive.

Intraneural Injection Therapy is an emerging technique that offers a precise and regenerative approach to treating chronic nerve pain and dysfunction.

Unlike traditional pain management methods, which often rely on medications to mask symptoms, this therapy targets the nerves directly, aiming to restore proper function and resolve the root causes of pain at both the cellular and neurological levels.

Our objective is to support the body's natural healing processes by addressing a specific type of pain known as 'neurogenic' pain.

Neurogenic pain is a commonly occurring but often underdiagnosed form of chronic pain that typically arises after an acute strain, injury, or nerve compression.

Although the initial injury may have healed, the affected nerves can continue to send pain signals, resulting in persistent discomfort.

Unfortunately, this type of pain often does not respond well to standard pain relief medications.

Intraneural Injection Therapy works to reset and heal these inflamed nerves. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of therapeutic solutions along nerve pathways using very fine needles.

These injections help reduce neurogenic inflammation, improve microcirculation, and calm overstimulated pain receptors.

Our physicians utilize detailed anatomical knowledge and, when necessary, diagnostic imaging to ensure the accuracy and safety of the injections.

Patients often report not only relief from pain but also improvements in function, sensation, and range of motion.

This therapy has proven particularly effective for conditions such as neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, post-surgical nerve pain, and residual pain from unresolved injuries.

Intraneural Injection Therapy is part of a comprehensive healing strategy that includes anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut and immune support, and lifestyle changes to address underlying imbalances contributing to chronic inflammation or nerve dysfunction.

Ultimately, this therapy embodies the core principle of our practice: focusing on the underlying causes of suffering rather than merely alleviating symptoms, and supporting the body’s innate ability to heal naturally, precisely, and holistically.

We utilize IV Nutrient Therapy as an effective method to deliver targeted nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for rapid and efficient absorption at the cellular level.

This approach is especially beneficial when the body is under stress, recovering from illness, or managing chronic conditions that impair nutrient absorption or elevate nutritional demands.

IV Nutrient Therapy helps replenish deficiencies, support detoxification, boost immune function, and accelerate healing.

Our standard formulations may include vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, zinc, amino acids, glutathione, taurine, and other antioxidants or therapeutic compounds, such as ozone, tailored to the individual’s needs.

For patients dealing with fatigue, brain fog, immune challenges, gut disorders, or chronic illness, IV Nutrient Therapy can provide immediate support, enhancing energy, mental clarity, and recovery.

In situations where inflammation or oxidative stress is high, nutrients delivered intravenously can help calm the immune response, promote tissue repair, and increase resilience.

In our practice, IV Nutrient Therapy plays a distinct role within a personalized, root-cause approach.

It is never used as a standalone treatment but as part of a comprehensive healing strategy that includes Advanced Nutritional Therapy, lifestyle modification, stress management, and often Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and gut support.

Whether used for recovery, detoxification, immune support, or optimal wellness, IV Nutrient Therapy reflects our philosophy of supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms with precision, care, and individualized attention—delivering exactly what the body needs at the right moment.

Ketamine Therapy is an effective treatment option for individuals dealing with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and emotional trauma, particularly when traditional therapies have not provided relief. 

Grounded in neuroscience and backed by emerging research, ketamine plays a role in rewiring the brain, reducing inflammation, and promoting deep healing rather than just alleviating symptoms. 

As a dissociative anesthetic with a long history of safe medical use, ketamine is administered in low, controlled doses, which can be delivered intravenously (IV), intramuscularly (IM), sublingually, or via nasal spray. 

Our approach focuses not only on the biochemical effects of ketamine but also on its ability to activate neuroplasticity, disrupt entrenched thought patterns, and create a therapeutic window for meaningful emotional healing. 

We often combine ketamine therapy with integrative support, which may include trauma-informed psychotherapy or guided integration sessions, mind-body practices, anti-inflammatory nutrition and gut-brain axis support, targeted nutrients to aid neurological recovery, as well as detoxification and mitochondrial support, especially for those experiencing neuroinflammation or chronic illness. 

Ketamine may be particularly beneficial for patients facing persistent depression or suicidal thoughts, severe anxiety or panic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain syndromes, or emotional numbness and dissociation. 

We do not use ketamine as a quick fix or as a stand-alone therapy. Instead, we view it as a catalyst for transformation, enabling the nervous system to "reset" while addressing the underlying biological, emotional, and spiritual factors contributing to chronic illness or suffering.

Longevity Medicine is a progressive, science-based approach aimed at extending both lifespan and healthspan. It emphasizes maintaining vitality, cognitive sharpness, and physical function well into older age.

Our method employs advanced diagnostics, predictive testing, and personalized interventions to delay or prevent age-related diseases before they occur.

Treatment options may include advanced diagnostics, genomics, epigenetics, AI health tracking, full-body scans, Advanced Nutritional Therapy, DNA methylation testing, laser therapy, ozone therapy, exercise science, fasting-mimicking diets, and early detection of disease risks.

The goal of Longevity Medicine is to help you remain healthy and functional for a longer period, allowing you to enjoy more active years while delaying the onset of chronic illnesses.

Our physicians use LDA/LDI as a cutting-edge method to retrain the immune system, particularly for individuals suffering from chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, allergies, or sensitivities.

Unlike many conventional treatments that suppress immune activity, LDA/LDI aims to restore tolerance, enabling the body to respond more appropriately to environmental, microbial, and self-antigens.

The therapy involves administering tiny doses of allergens or antigens, sometimes combined with a small amount of a natural enzyme called beta-glucuronidase.

This approach has a history of over 50 years of successful use in gently inducing immune tolerance and alleviating allergy symptoms without the need for suppressive medications.

Typically, these personalized treatments are administered every seven weeks until the patient establishes long-term immune tolerance.

LDI is also used to manage autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, by effectively turning off the body's “allergy to itself.”

By gently nudging the immune system back into balance, LDA/LDI can reduce symptoms without the risks associated with immune-suppressing drugs.

Additionally, LDA/LDI is usually integrated into a comprehensive healing plan that includes gut health optimization, detox support, Advanced Nutritional Therapy, and stress reduction, all tailored to the patient’s unique biochemistry.

This layered approach allows the immune system to heal in a controlled and sustainable way.

Ultimately, our physicians utilize Low-Dose Immunotherapy to help patients regain immune harmony, reduce chronic inflammation, and achieve lasting relief safely and naturally, with deep respect for the body’s innate wisdom.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is one of the most promising advancements in integrative medicine. This painless, drug-free treatment utilizes concentrated light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.

It helps calm inflammation, reduce pain, rejuvenate the skin, and promote cellular repair—all without surgery, injections, or downtime.

Supporting the body’s natural healing abilities is always preferable whenever possible. Laser therapy provides that opportunity.

Here are some powerful applications:

Just One Blood Draw. One Simple Step.

Cancer and peace of mind can go hand in hand by embracing groundbreaking innovations like Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) testing, which represents a significant advancement in preventive care.

Today, we have tools that enable us to treat cancer more effectively, particularly when it is detected early. However, we cannot treat what we do not find.

Traditional screenings, such as mammograms and colonoscopies, are valuable but only target about five specific types of cancer.

Alarmingly, over 70% of cancer deaths are attributable to cancers for which no standard screening exists. This is where MCED testing comes into play.

The MCED test can screen for 50 or more types of cancer through a single blood draw, and it is recognized as a powerful tool in the movement towards proactive, preventive, and personalized health care.

These tests, often based on liquid biopsy technology, analyze fragments of DNA—known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)—shed into the bloodstream by cancer cells.

By identifying abnormal methylation patterns or genetic mutations, these tests can detect cancer before symptoms arise, often at very early and more treatable stages.

We see this advancement not as a standalone diagnostic tool but as a means to enhance early detection strategies for individuals at high risk or those with unexplained symptoms, a strong family history of cancer, or significant environmental exposures.

When used thoughtfully, the test can complement traditional screenings and offer a broader view of systemic cancer risk, especially for rare or difficult-to-detect cancers.

If cancer markers are identified, our practitioners will not only refer patients for appropriate conventional diagnostics and oncology care but will also conduct a thorough investigation into the underlying factors that may contribute to cancer vulnerability.

This investigation will include examining toxin exposure and the body's detoxification capacity, assessing chronic inflammation and immune function, evaluating nutritional status and mitochondrial health, considering epigenetic and lifestyle factors, analyzing gut health and microbiome imbalances, and addressing oxidative stress and hormone dysregulation.

The custom-tailored response plan may include: anti-inflammatory, plant-rich dietary changes; targeted supplementation with antioxidants, immune modulators, or detox support; stress-reduction practices and circadian rhythm optimization; support for liver and lymphatic detox pathways; and a referral to integrative oncology or collaborative specialists as needed.

We embrace tools like the MCED blood test as part of a precision health strategy—utilizing advanced technology not only to detect disease but also to guide a personalized prevention and healing plan that supports the body at every level.

The goal is not fear, but empowerment—helping patients catch disease early, take proactive steps, and optimize their long-term health trajectory.

We utilize Neural Prolotherapy (NPT), also known as Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT), as a gentle, highly targeted treatment to alleviate chronic pain and nerve inflammation - especially in cases where traditional methods have failed or provided only temporary relief.

Developed by Dr. John Lyftogt, this therapy aligns with our core philosophy: addressing the root cause of pain, supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms, and restoring optimal function.

NPT involves injecting a mild solution - typically a 5% dextrose solution in sterile water—just beneath the skin along the path of sensory nerves.

When these nerves become inflamed or irritated, they can cause persistent pain, sensitivity, or dysfunction in muscles, joints, and fascia.

The dextrose solution helps calm the nerve endings, reduce inflammation, and restore normal nerve signaling, often leading to immediate and long-lasting pain relief.

NPT is particularly effective for treating chronic musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, tendonitis, migraines, post-surgical nerve pain, fibromyalgia, and complex conditions like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

As a non-pharmaceutical and minimally invasive treatment, NPT offers a safe and repeatable alternative for those looking to avoid opioids, steroid injections, or surgery.

Neural Prolotherapy is often integrated into a broader functional care plan, which may include anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut healing, detoxification, movement therapy, and stress reduction.

By targeting inflammation from multiple angles—both internally and externally—our practitioners use NPT not only to relieve pain but also to restore balance, enhance function, and promote true healing at the neurological level.

Ultimately, Neural Prolotherapy perfectly aligns with our mission: to reduce suffering by restoring the body’s natural ability to heal through precise, evidence-based, and patient-centered therapies that recognize the complexity of chronic pain.

In the field of regenerative medicine, a significant new development is emerging—one that begins with your body’s most natural resource: blood.

The Priapus Shot, commonly known as the P-Shot, is a safe, non-surgical treatment that leverages your body's healing abilities to enhance male vitality, sensation, and performance.

This groundbreaking procedure utilizes Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) drawn from your blood.

The PRP is concentrated and re-injected into specific areas of the penis, promoting natural tissue regeneration, improving blood flow, and awakening sensitivity and strength.

It doesn’t involve pharmaceuticals or implants; it simply helps the body function at its best.

Men are choosing the P-Shot for various benefits, including stronger and more reliable erections, improved sensitivity and sexual satisfaction, increased blood flow and stamina, and enhanced confidence and intimacy.

It is also a supportive option for conditions such as erectile dysfunction (ED) or Peyronie’s disease.

Furthermore, the procedure involves minimal discomfort and no downtime, allowing you to resume your day immediately after treatment.

The P-Shot is discreet, science-based, and empowering. Named after Priapus, the Greek god of virility and male vitality, the P-Shot embodies a timeless truth: strength, confidence, and pleasure are deeply intertwined with our sense of well-being.

Our ultimate goal in autoimmune care is to empower patients to become active participants in their healing journey by addressing the “why” behind their illness, not just the “what.”

In our practice, the treatment of autoimmune disease focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of immune system imbalance rather than simply managing symptoms.

Our approach is highly personalized, aiming to calm the immune response, reduce systemic inflammation, and restore balance to the body through a combination of advanced diagnostics, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted therapies.

The process typically begins with a deep investigation into potential root triggers that may be driving the immune system to attack the body’s own tissues.

These triggers often include food sensitivities, chronic infections, gut imbalances, toxic exposures, and chronic stress or trauma.

We use comprehensive lab testing to evaluate gut health, immune markers, nutrient status, hormone levels, and toxic load to gain a full picture of the patient’s internal environment.

Based on these insights, a customized treatment plan is developed.

This often begins with an anti-inflammatory diet, commonly an elimination protocol to remove common allergens and reduce immune activation.

Gut healing is a central component—supporting the intestinal lining with nutrients like L-glutamine, zinc, and collagen, and restoring microbial balance with probiotics and prebiotics.

Targeted nutritional supplementation is used to address deficiencies and reduce inflammation.

In cases where toxins or infections are identified, detoxification protocols or antimicrobial treatments may be included, all while ensuring liver support and gentle elimination pathways.

Lifestyle modification is another cornerstone of functional medicine.

Patients are guided to improve sleep quality, reduce stress through techniques like meditation or breathwork, incorporate movement that suits their energy level, and strengthen their social and emotional well-being.

This approach does not reject conventional medicine; rather, it complements it—often working in collaboration with rheumatologists or other specialists to reduce medication dependency, minimize flares, and enhance overall quality of life.

Our treatment of cardiovascular disease goes beyond simply managing symptoms—we seek to uncover and address the root causes of heart dysfunction.

This personalized, whole-body approach focuses on reversing inflammation, correcting metabolic imbalances, and optimizing the body’s natural ability to heal and protect the heart.

Treatment begins with comprehensive testing to explore factors often overlooked in conventional care, such as advanced lipid markers, inflammation levels, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, and even gut and genetic health. 

By understanding what’s driving the disease—from oxidative stress to toxic exposure—our practitioners can create a customized care plan for each individual.

Our ultimate goal in treating cardiovascular disease is not just to lower cholesterol or blood pressure—it’s to restore balance, improve vitality, and help patients reclaim long-term heart health through root-cause resolution and empowered self-care.

Our chronic disease management approach is based on the belief that long-term conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and chronic fatigue, are best treated by identifying and addressing their underlying causes rather than simply managing symptoms with medication. 

This method is highly personalized, taking into account each individual’s unique biology, lifestyle, environment, and medical history.

The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation that goes beyond surface symptoms to uncover imbalances in inflammation, blood sugar, hormones, gut health, nutrient levels, and detoxification pathways. 

Advanced testing enables practitioners to gain a complete understanding of the factors driving the illness. Instead of merely managing decline, functional medicine empowers patients to become active participants in their care. 

The aim is to reduce symptoms, restore vitality, and build long-term resilience. The goal is not just to cope with chronic illness but to thrive with a renewed sense of control, balance, and well-being.

Our Chronic Pain Management takes a whole-person, root-cause approach—looking beyond temporary relief to understand why the pain exists and how to promote true healing.

Instead of relying solely on painkillers or symptom suppression, this method explores the biological, emotional, structural, and environmental factors contributing to ongoing pain.

The process begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s history, lifestyle, injuries, stress levels, sleep, gut health, inflammation, and even past trauma.

Advanced testing may be used to assess nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, food sensitivities, and inflammatory markers, all of which can play a role in pain perception and persistence.

The goal of functional medicine is to go beyond masking symptoms.

It empowers individuals to understand their pain, rebuild resilience, and take an active role in their recovery.

By supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms and restoring balance, chronic pain can become manageable—and in many cases, significantly reduced or resolved.

We approach COVID-related issues with a strong emphasis on holistic healing, particularly for individuals suffering from lingering symptoms known as long COVID or post-viral syndrome.

Instead of merely addressing isolated symptoms like fatigue or brain fog, functional medicine seeks to identify and treat the root causes of these persistent health challenges.

Practitioners begin by investigating how the virus may have disrupted various systems in the body, leading to inflammation, strain on the immune system, hormonal imbalances, gut health issues, or even disturbances in mitochondrial function, which is essential for energy production.

Advanced testing is often utilized to evaluate nutrient deficiencies, lingering infections, and immune system dysregulation.

Based on these assessments, a personalized treatment plan is created, aiming not just to manage symptoms but to help patients fully recover, regain their energy, and reclaim their quality of life through root-cause healing and comprehensive support for the whole body.

Our depression treatment goes far beyond managing symptoms with medication, it involves uncovering and addressing the underlying biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to mood imbalances.

The goal is to restore emotional well-being by understanding the root causes unique to each individual.

Our practitioners begin with an in-depth exploration of the patient’s personal and medical history, including genetics, gut health, hormonal balance, nutrient levels, inflammation, sleep quality, stress load, and past trauma.

Advanced testing may be used to evaluate deficiencies in key mood-regulating nutrients, as well as markers for inflammation, cortisol levels, thyroid function, and gut microbiome health.

Treatment is highly personalized and may include targeted Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT) supplementation to correct deficiencies, anti-inflammatory dietary changes to support brain health, and gut-healing protocols, recognizing the powerful connection between the gut and brain via the gut-brain axis.

Hormonal imbalances—especially involving thyroid, adrenal, or sex hormones—may be treated with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), as they can significantly impact mood and motivation.

Our functional approach to depression is compassionate, comprehensive, and empowering.

It views each person as a whole—not a diagnosis—and offers a pathway toward healing that is both deeply scientific and profoundly human.

By treating the roots of imbalance, not just the symptoms, we help individuals reclaim joy,
energy, and clarity—one personalized step at a time.

Our treatment of Digestive Issues such as bloating, IBS, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease, focuses on identifying and healing the underlying root causes of gut dysfunction, rather than simply masking symptoms with medication.

This approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the individual's health history, diet, stress levels, environment, and lifestyle, often paired with advanced lab testing to assess gut microbiome balance, digestive function, inflammation markers, food sensitivities, and intestinal permeability (leaky gut).

We recognizes the gut’s central role in overall health, including its influence on immunity, brain function, hormones, and inflammation.

Treatment is highly personalized and may include Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT), gut-healing supplements, stress-reduction techniques, and support for the nervous system, which plays a major role in digestion.

Our goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to restore balance and function—so that digestion becomes smooth, comfortable, and supportive of total body wellness.

Through this root-cause, systems-based approach, we empower individuals to reclaim their gut health and feel better from the inside out.

Our treatment of Lyme disease focuses on healing the entire body, not just eradicating the infection.

Recognizing that Lyme - especially in its chronic or late-stage form - is a complex, multi-system illness, functional medicine addresses not only the Borrelia bacteria itself, but also the co-infections, immune dysregulation, inflammation, and damage caused by both the pathogen and the body’s prolonged response to it.

Treatment begins with an in-depth evaluation of the patient’s history, symptoms, exposures, and lab testing—including specialized tests to detect Lyme bacteria, co-infections (like Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia), mold toxicity, heavy metals, and gut dysbiosis.

Our practitioners often identify biofilm formation, immune suppression, mitochondrial dysfunction, and nervous system imbalances as contributing factors that must be addressed for true healing.

Rather than relying solely on long-term antibiotics—which may be necessary in some cases—we takes a holistic, root-cause approach.

A personalized treatment plan may include Herbal antimicrobials; Low Doze Immune Therapy (LDA/LDI); Field Control Therapy (FCT); Detoxification protocols to eliminate toxins and reduce Herxheimer (die-off) reactions; gut healing and microbiome restoration; Mitochondrial and adrenal support to rebuild energy and resilience; Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT); and nervous system regulation through breathwork, neurofeedback, or vagal nerve stimulation

Functional medicine also addresses the emotional and neurological toll of chronic Lyme—recognizing that anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and trauma are often part of the illness experience.

Mind-body support is integrated to help patients heal on both physical and emotional levels.

In our model, patients are active participants in their care.

The goal isn’t just to suppress symptoms or chase bacteria—it’s to restore function, rebuild vitality, and empower long-term recovery, even after years of complex illness.

Through compassionate, systems-based care, fwe offers a comprehensive and hopeful path forward for those living with Lyme disease.

We approach our mold exposure treatment is a complex, multi-system challenge that requires deep investigation, personalized care, and root-cause healing.

Mold toxicity - often caused by prolonged exposure to mycotoxins from water-damaged buildings - can trigger a wide range of symptoms affecting the brain, immune system, lungs, skin, gut, and hormones.

Our practitioners recognize that mold illness is not just an environmental issue, but a whole-body inflammatory condition that must be addressed on multiple levels.

Treatment begins with a thorough health history, including home or work environment exposure, and advanced testing—such as urine mycotoxin analysis, inflammatory markers, visual contrast sensitivity testing, and assessments of gut function, immune status, detox capacity, and genetic susceptibility.

The first priority is removal from the moldy environment, which may involve remediation, relocation, or improving indoor air quality using HEPA filters, dehumidifiers, and air purifiers.

Once the patient’s exposure is reduced, our practitioner guides the patient through a personalized step-by-step detoxification and recovery protocol, restoring resilience through Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT); Gut healing protocols to repair the intestinal lining and rebalance the microbiome; Low Doze Immune Therapy (LDA/LDI); Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT); neurological support to address fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, sleep disruption, or adrenal dysfunction

Throughout care, our practitioners also focus on gentle movement, nervous system regulation, and stress reduction, recognizing that mold illness can be deeply taxing both physically and emotionally.

Ultimately, we treats mold exposure not just as a toxicity problem, but as a systemic imbalance requiring comprehensive care.

With time, patience, and personalized treatment, patients can detoxify, rebuild, and regain their health—often after years of unexplained symptoms or misdiagnosis.

This approach empowers individuals to take control of their environment and biology, offering a path forward from chronic mold illness toward lasting recovery.

Ozone therapy (OT) is a non-pharmaceutical treatment that can be used as a powerful immune support working through several natural mechanisms.

It can enhance overall wellness, and can be used for pain and immune system support and can even improve cardiac health.

OT uses pure, medical-grade ozone gas (O₃) to stimulate healing by increasing oxygen delivery and triggering specific immune responses.

It's administered through injections, autohemotherapy (ozonating your blood and reinfusing it), insufflation, or topical applications.

It can support immunity, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, relieve pain, and help treat both acute and chronic infections such as Lyme disease.

Our treatment for parasite infections focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms - often subtle or chronic - that are caused by unresolved parasitic infections.

Parasites can impact a wide range of systems in the body, not just the digestive tract.

Our practitioners recognize that many people may carry parasites for years without an accurate diagnosis, with symptoms misattributed to other conditions like IBS, fatigue, skin issues, or anxiety.

There are many types of parasites,  which can infest the gut, liver, lungs, brain and blood. 

Parasites can be either relatively benign or they can cause severe diseases.  The wide variety of parasites and the many locations they can hide makes recognizing and treating the problem challenging. 

Treatment begins with a comprehensive history and advanced diagnostic testing, including stool analysis (often with DNA-based methods), blood work, and assessments for gut inflammation, microbiome balance, immune function, and detoxification capacity. 

Parasites commonly targeted in treatment may include Giardia, Blastocystis hominis, Entamoeba histolytica, Dientamoeba fragilis, and even larger parasites like helminths (worms).

Rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals (which are used when appropriate), we often take a holistic, multi-layered approach that includes: herbal antimicrobials; targeted supplements to strengthen immunity and support gut repair; anti-inflammatory, low-sugar diets to reduce the terrain in which parasites thrive; binders to help eliminate parasite waste and reduce die-off reactions; digestive support to create an environment less hospitable to parasites; gut microbiome rebalancing with probiotics and prebiotics; and detox support for the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system to safely eliminate toxins released during parasite die-off.

In cases of chronic or stubborn infections, our practitioners address contributing issues, such as co-infections, emotional stress, mold, heavy metal and other environmental toxin exposures,  and low digestive enzyme production. 

These issues can weaken the body's defenses and create a terrain in which parasites thrive.

Our approach views parasites not just as invaders, but as part of a bigger picture involving gut health, immune resilience, and detox capacity.

Our goal isn’t just to kill the parasites, but to rebalance the entire system, so the body can naturally defend against future infections and restore optimal health.

Through this personalized, root-cause strategy, we offer a comprehensive and empowering path to resolving parasitic infections—supporting lasting recovery, resilience, and whole-body wellness.

Our treatment for Parkinson’s disease focuses on supporting and preserving neurological function, reducing inflammation, and addressing the underlying toxic exposures and imbalances that contribute to neurodegeneration. 

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. 

Functional medicine works to slow this progression and improve quality of life by treating the root causes that may accelerate brain aging and cellular dysfunction.

By addressing the multiple causes of inflammation in the brain, we can also work to increase neuroplasticity and even restore function in some cases. 

Our practitioners begin with a comprehensive evaluation, examining not just neurological symptoms like tremors or rigidity, but also less obvious signs such as constipation, body odor changes, mood changes, sleep disruption, loss of sense of smell, and fatigue, which often precede motor symptoms. 

Advanced testing may be used to assess: mitochondrial function (energy production at the cellular level); inflammation and oxidative stress; toxin exposure (heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides,  glyphosate, mold); gut health and microbiome balance; hormonal and nutrient status; and genetic predispositions (such as SNCA or LRRK2 mutations).

Our personalized treatment often includes: Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT); Heavy Metal Chelation Therapy, systemic detox protocols and, if indicated,  mold exposure treatment, to reduce body burden from pesticides, metals, or mold toxins—factors increasingly linked to Parkinson’s risk.

We also address gut healing to address the gut-brain axis and improve nutrient absorption.

In addition, we emphasize collaboration with neurologists, ensuring that conventional treatments like dopaminergic medications are integrated into a broader, whole-body care plan.

Ultimately, our approach to Parkinson’s disease is about slowing progression, improving function, and enhancing quality of life through deep, personalized care. By addressing the terrain in which neurodegeneration occurs, we offer patients and their families a hopeful, proactive path forward—one that empowers them to take part in their own healing journey.

PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses activated natural extracts from a person’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation. 

After drawing a small amount of blood, it is spun in a special centrifuge to isolate and activate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected or applied to target areas. 

Since it is a natural approach using the patient’s own cells, there is a  very low risk of allergic reaction.

A Primary Care Physician (PCP) is your main point of contact for managing overall health.

They provide comprehensive, continuous care, handling everything from routine checkups and preventive screenings to diagnosing illnesses and managing chronic conditions.

PCPs build long-term relationships with patients, offering personalized guidance on lifestyle, medications, and referrals to specialists when needed. 

Regenerative medicine is the science of repairing and restoring damaged tissues, using natural biological tools like growth factors, plasma, stem cells, and targeted injections.

At its foundation, regenerative medicine seeks to enhance the body’s natural capacity to heal and restore itself - leveraging biological processes that already exist within us. 

Rather than relying on surgical intervention or mechanical replacement of damaged tissues, this approach stimulates the body's intrinsic repair mechanisms to achieve meaningful, long-lasting recovery.

Through carefully targeted therapies, regenerative medicine aims to: reduce inflammation at the cellular level; support the regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and nerve tissue; enhance mobility, strength, and physical performance; alleviate chronic pain—without the need for invasive procedures or prolonged downtime.

This innovative field represents a shift toward restorative care that prioritizes function, vitality, and quality of life.

Depending on your condition, we may recommend one or more regenerative therapies, such as: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, Stem Cell Therapy, Perineural and Neural Prolotherapy and Ozone Therapy to stimulate healing, modulate inflammation, and support long-term recovery at the cellular level.

Regenerative medicine is being used to address a wide range of issues, including: joint pain; sports and overuse injuries; tendonitis, arthritis, and degenerative conditions; post-surgical healing; neuropathy and nerve pain; erectile dysfunction and tissue rejuvenation; skin and facial rejuvenation.

Regenerative Orthopedics is a rapidly growing field that focuses on healing and restoring musculoskeletal tissues, such as joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage - by supporting the body’s natural regenerative abilities. 

Regenerative orthopedic medicine works to stimulate the body's innate ability to repair damage at the cellular level, reduce inflammation, and restore function using natural biologic therapies.

This approach can minimize or even eliminate the need for pain-masking medications and invasive surgeries. 

This approach aligns perfectly with our philosophy of root-cause healing and personalized care.

Our practitioners begin by assessing the full-body context in which orthopedic issues occur—exploring how chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, toxin exposure, gut dysfunction, or  poor movement patterns contribute to joint degeneration or soft tissue breakdown.

Regenerative orthopedic therapies used may include: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, Neural Prolotherapy (NPT); Lyftoght therapy, Stem Cell Therapy;  exosome or peptide therapy, and focused movement therapies.

These treatments are often combined with a comprehensive functional medicine plan, which may include: Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT); Targeted supplements; Gut healing and detoxification to reduce systemic inflammation; Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to support tissue regeneration; Movement therapy and postural retraining to improve biomechanics and prevent re-injury; Mind-body practices to support recovery and reduce pain perception.

Rather than viewing orthopedic injuries or arthritis as inevitable signs of aging, we see them as opportunities to regenerate and restore—when the body is given the right tools and support.

Through integrative, minimally invasive therapies, regenerative orthopedics offers patients a way to return to pain-free movement, avoid surgery, and reclaim their physical vitality.

Our providers view stem cell treatments as a powerful and promising tool for regenerating damaged tissues, modulating the immune system, and reversing chronic degeneration at the cellular level.

Rather than just treating symptoms, stem cell therapy is used to restore function and promote true healing, especially in conditions where conventional treatments offer limited options.

Stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) - have the unique ability to differentiate into various tissue types (such as cartilage, bone, muscle, and nerve) and to communicate with damaged cells, releasing growth factors and anti-inflammatory signals that guide repair.

This regenerative capacity is harnessed in a personalized context, addressing not only where tissue healing is needed but why degeneration occurred in the first place.

Stem cell therapies may be used to treat: joint and musculoskeletal injuries; autoimmune and inflammatory conditions; neurodegenerative diseases; post-viral syndromes and chronic fatigue; skin aging and aesthetic rejuvenation; cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction.

Our practitioners integrate stem cell therapy into a broader healing plan, which may include: Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT); Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT); mitochondrial support to improve cellular energy and tissue regeneration; gut and immune system optimization, especially for autoimmune patients; stress management and sleep enhancement to reduce inflammatory load; physical therapy and movement retraining to support functional recovery.

Our practice uses a systems-based, root-cause approach.

Our practitioners don’t just inject cells and hope for repair—they work to remove barriers to healing (like toxins, poor nutrition, infections, or chronic stress) and enhance the body's capacity to integrate and respond to the therapy.

We utilize FDA-compliant stem cell approaches, including hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells approved for certain blood-related conditions, and autologous stem cells or stromal vascular fraction (SVF) harvested from the patient’s own fat or bone marrow.

These are used in minimally manipulated, same-day procedures without culturing or expansion.

Stem cell therapy in functional medicine represents a powerful fusion of cutting-edge science and whole-person care.

It offers patients a hopeful path forward—one that supports deep healing, long-term regeneration, and a return to vibrant, functional living.

Toxin exposure is a significant and often overlooked factor contributing to a wide range of chronic health conditions.

Our genetic ability to process toxins varies widely; some individuals can detoxify easily, while others struggle to navigate the modern world without extensive support.

It is crucial to support the body in an individualized manner and in the correct order when addressing toxicity issues, as 'dumping' too many toxins at once can hinder progress rather than promote it.

Our approach targets various toxins, including heavy metals, pesticides, mold mycotoxins, plastics (like BPA), flame retardants, and industrial chemicals.

We aim to identify the source of these toxins, reduce exposure, and support the body’s natural detoxification systems to restore health and resilience.

Our practitioners start with a comprehensive history and advanced testing to assess an individual's toxic burden and their capacity to process and eliminate toxins.

Testing may involve urine or blood tests to evaluate general health, kidney and liver function, the presence of heavy metals and mold spores, as well as organic acid tests to assess detox pathways and mitochondrial function.

We also examine liver function markers, glutathione levels, and genetic variants (such as MTHFR or GST) that can influence detoxification capacity.

Once we understand the type and extent of exposure, along with individual genetics, we develop a personalized detoxification protocol.

Supporting detox pathways includes Advanced Nutritional Therapy (ANT) for the liver’s Phase I and Phase II detoxification processes, Chelation Heavy Metal Therapy, IV Therapy, and Gut Restoration. Specific strategies are used to repair the damaged gut lining and restore the microbiome, which is crucial for toxin breakdown and immune function.

Our goal in functional medicine is not just to detoxify temporarily but to build long-term resilience by enhancing the body’s ability to cope with environmental stressors.

By addressing toxin exposure at its root and assessing unique detoxification challenges, our patients often experience improvements in energy, mood, cognition, hormone balance, immune health, and chronic conditions that previously did not respond to other treatments.

Detoxification is a vital pillar of foundational health, empowering patients to live cleaner, clearer, and more vibrant lives in an increasingly toxic world.
