Stop Waiting For a Diagnosis, Start Feeling Better

When your health deteriorates, it’s usually from a modern-day crisis of malnutrition, stress, and inflammation that lacks a diagnosis in Western medicine. 

As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I practice in a way that turns on your body’s natural healing process by reducing stress and inflammation.

I consider myself a general practitioner of integrative medicine. I try very hard to find a budget-friendly solution for my patients that they can start with. 

One of the most painful things for me is watching a patient suffer and struggle while waiting for a diagnosis that might not come. The main tool that Western doctors have is medication. Prednisone can reduce inflammation, but it doesn’t solve the root of your problem.

Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and functional medicine treat and diagnose based on symptoms. While I love to integrate information from your primary care doctor or specialists, I also like to find the problem and heal your body.

I am not suggesting you discontinue treatment or ignore diagnosis with your regular doctor, but I am suggesting that you stop waiting for that diagnosis to start taking better care of yourself!

Chinese medicine is one of the best ways to do that, and it helped turn my health around, too.

I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome in my 20’s. After seeing several natural alternative practitioners, one of them told me that I should take Astragalus Tincture every day for a long time. 

He told me reassuringly that I would get better if I did this. At the time, I had not studied Traditional East Asian Medicine yet. It just didn’t compute for me that an herbal tincture would heal and restore my health. 

I’m here to tell you that now that I did indeed fix my health with herbs. 

I studied and learned about natural functional medicine, Asian herbal medicine, and about how diet, exercise, emotions, and thoughts affect your health.

Treating smaller problems early with a provider like me can turn things around, often before you even realize it. One of the most affordable ways to access this care is to come in for treatment and be honest about budget constraints. 

Herbs, when taken continuously over time, can be the most affordable solution out there.  Taking care of yourself through good times and bad times will yield a higher quality of life where you feel well and do not develop disease. 

Early diseases can be turned around, and chronic disease may be managed or co-managed with your current medications and treatments. Using natural medicine and your prescriptions together yield even better results for many of my patients.

Your job is to take care of yourself so that you can have a good life.

Acupuncture, herbs and natural functional medicine are serious treatments for a modern-day crisis in our healthcare. I hope you find, as I did, that when Western medicine had no treatments for my chronic fatigue syndrome, Traditional medicine was right there waiting to help me regain my life and health. I went on to complete school, get married, and have two kids alongside a busy practice.

Bring your health challenges – your hormones, your allergies, your back pain, your infertility, and more – to East Asian medicine. Put in the work on your diet, lifestyle, and treatment plan. 

The first step toward success is starting. The next is continuing your protocol. Often, once I get to know someone well as a patient, I can find the thing that they can focus on that will change their health. 

I’d love to meet you and learn about your health problems to find a solution that will get your quality of life back. You deserve to feel good and live your life without health problems.
