Food is the most powerful medicine -- and one of the pillars of Chinese medicine.

We employ the most modern Functional Medicine nutritional therapies.
(And we consistently see amazing results.)
Why Is Functional Nutrition So Popular?

Here are just a few reasons...
​
It's Incredibly Safe
Skillfully prescribed, foods and supplements are some of the safest medicines on Earth. And, we source our products only from companies with the most stringent quality controls.
Proven Results
​
Functional Medicine is fast becoming a primary form of treating chronic illness and promoting long-term wellness. The reason is because scientific studies are demonstrating its proven ability to get results.
It's POWERFUL
Supplements provide targeted nutrition to the most powerful healing tool ever discovered – YOU. Their power lies in their ability to deliver specific nutrients to specific glands and tissues to effect quick, focused results.
...and PRECISE
Supplements precisely target specific cells, tissues, and organs with the nutrients they need to function at peak levels. A well-nourished body naturally creates the perfect balance of hormones, neurotransmitters, and other critical substances.

​How Does Functional Nutrition Work?
​
​Nutritional Support For Depleted Glands And Tissues
​When your cells, glands, and tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, they naturally function at a very high level. This means you feel your best because your body’s key systems are optimized.
Precisely Targets Areas That Need Help
​
Certain types of cells depend on specific nutrients in order to thrive. For instance, cardiac muscle needs high levels of CoQ10, bone marrow needs high levels of iron and zinc, and adrenal tissues need B-Vitamins. We can laser-target our therapy to the needs of your body using these and other specific nutrients.
Dramatically Accelerates Your Results
Our unique way of combining supplements with our other therapies produces better results in less time. That’s because we’re targeting the exact areas your body needs help from all possible angles.
Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.

What Can Functional Nutrition Treat?

Here are just a few of the conditions we have had success with over the years:


  • Hormone imbalances
  • Headaches

  • Allergies & Asthma​
  • Reproductive disorders
  • Cancer treatment side effects
  • Digestive issues
  • Anxiety, mood imbalances, stress
  • Musculo-skeletal issues
  • Autoimmune disorders
COMMON QUESTIONS
HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE SUPPLEMENTS?
Typically you will take them twice daily – once in the morning and once in the evening. Sometimes we might target mealtimes (for metabolic purposes) or bedtime (for sleep enhancement).
​

WILL I BE TAKING 40 PILLS A DAY?
Unlike many other wellness clinics who (in our opinion) over-prescribe supplements, our approach is precise. We want you to get results and feel better quickly – too many supplements can actually hinder, not help, this process.

DO I HAVE TO TAKE THEM FOREVER?
Unlike with many medications, supplements gently guide your body back into balance. Once you’ve stabilized at your improved level of wellness, you can safely discontinue them with no ill effects. Many of our patients choose to continue taking them, however, and this is perfectly safe should you choose to do so as well.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH SUPPLEMENTS TO PRESCRIBE?
It’s simple. We listen to your story, we pay attention to how you’re FEELING, and your body tells us where it needs help.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE EXPENSIVE, FANCY VITAMIN TESTS?
We see people in clinic all the time who have spent thousands of dollars on tests and still don’t feel better. That’s because their doctor or nutritionist is treating the test, not them. We can help you order the tests, but we consistently get great results for you without them.

WHAT ABOUT MY MEDICATIONS? ARE THERE ANY INTERACTIONS?
Our experience is that supplement/drug interactions are extremely rare and that, in many cases, patients are able to reduce their medications once they are on the right supplement combination. And, we are extremely skilled at knowing when we need to exercise caution with your supplement plan in relation to medications you might be taking.
