Integrative/Functional Medicine
We take a special interest in treating all of a patients as a whole person. This means addressing not only the physical issues a patient may be experiencing but also addressing their emotional and spiritual wellness. We approach medicine from a "root cause", meaning we don't just put bandaids on symptoms, we get to the root of the problem. We do this by listening to our patients, performing a thorough evaluation and applying an integrative approach to treatment. We treat kids, men and women with thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, PMS, fatigue, infertility/recurrent miscarriages, PCOS, and so much more! We offer specialty testing including but not limited to comprehensive gut testings, mycotoxin testing, environmental toxins and heavy metal testing.
Perimenopausal and Menopausal Hormone Replacement
Are you perimenopausal or menopausal and not feeling right? Common symptoms in this time of life include weight gain, sleep issues, feeling more emotional or irritable, fatigue, low labido, irregular bleeding, and many other symptoms. If this is you, we can help! We provide a tailored approach where ever you are in your stage of life, not only addressing you hormones but making sure every other area of your health is optimized.
Integrative Pediatrics
We are now offering integrative pediatrics. We take a more personalized and tailored approach to treating issues such as ADHD, autism, constipation, or anxiety. We offer gene sight testing to help manage medications and other pediatric specialty testing such as comprehensive gut testing, toxin exposures, lyme and mycotoxin testing etc.
Restorative Reproductive Medicine
Helping couples who are reproductive challenged as well as general women's health is one of my passions! After going through several years of infertility myself, I know how devastating it is to see that negative pregnancy test month after month. We are trained extensively in the principles of NaProTECHNOLOGY which stands for natural reproductive technology. With this approach we spend a great deal of effort and testing in order to truly understand the cause of infertility. In this way, we offer a ground breaking approach of fertility restoration which is proven effective for both infertility and women's health. We partner with some of the most experienced restorative reproductive surgery across the United States.
Progesterone/Thyroid Management in Pregnancy
We follow the NaProTECHNOLOGY protocols for thyroid and progesterone monitoring in pregnancy. This includes regular progesterone and thyroid monitoring throughout pregnancy. For over 30 years doctors at the St. Pope Paul VI Institue for the Study of Human Reproduction have recommended supplementation of progesterone during pregnancy for women for various reasons including history of infertility, low progesterone, miscarriage, or history of preterm birth or stillbirth. Research at the institute has shown that progesterone supplementation during pregnancy in women with these risk factors is associated with lower rates of pregnancy complications and preterm birth. There may also be a lower risk of miscarriage, particularly in women who have luteal phase hormonal deficiency prior to conception. We do not provide prenatal care but can refer you to some extraordinary OB-Gyn's we trust!
Fertility Awareness/Family Planning
I am a Certified Fertility Care Practitioner teaching the Creighton Model system of charting. This is a medically based system of tracking the biomarkers of the woman's cycle. This method can be used as a method of family planning with up to 96.8% use effectiveness, but it also is helpful in treating a myriad of women's health issues and infertility. With this charting system you can safely avoid pregnancy but will also learn an immense amount of information about the health of your reproductive system. Additionally, I use your chart to help me understand your hormonal health, perform accurate targeted hormone testing, and to gear treatment timing.
Sports Performance Optimization/Sports Physicals
During my many years as a PT and then orthopedic surgical PA, I saw many injuries caused by poor nutrition, vitamin D, and zinc deficiencies. Issues like gut imbalances, increased intestinal impermeability, and poor nutrition can leave athletes susceptible to injury. From weekend warriors to elite athletes, we can make sure your health is optimized to decrease injury risk, optimize injury recovery, and ensure peak performance. We also offer sports physicals.
