People come to us for a variety of reasons.
Some are generally healthy, but want to optimize their health and work with a practitioner who will listen to them, do diagnostic testing to assess whether underlying systems are functioning well, and recommend treatments based on effective self-care, medications, nutrients, supplements, and hormones.
Others have issues for which they may have seen other practitioners without satisfactory response. Sometimes they have symptoms that cause them to question whether what they are experiencing is a natural consequence of aging or an indication of illness. Musculoskeletal pain, weight gain, changes in sexual or urinary function, forgetfulness and other cognitive decline, and lower energy often raise such questions. Sometimes they have diagnosed medical conditions – neurologic, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, hormonal, rheumatologic, and cancer – for which they are looking for alternatives to conventional treatments.
As an integrative practice, we see a full range of medical conditions. Some are common enough that we have included more detail about how we approach them in the other tabs in this section of the website. Others are less common and are not discussed here. If you have a question about whether we have experience with a specific issue, ask us.
