In today's world with today's economy, it is more important than ever to focus your efforts and your resources on staying healthy. There are so many things that challenge our health in this modern world, from stress to environmental pollution to processed food and gluten sensitivity, it is no wonder that chronic disease and obesity are at epidemic levels.
And unfortunately, our pharmaceutical based medical paradigm has little to offer in the way of changing these trends. The only lasting hope for eliminating symptoms and improving health is by attempting to understand and correct the root cause of the problem. Your body can and wants to be healthy but you need the right tools and guidance.
I have found that combining the principles and tools of Chinese Medicine with modern tools and principles of Functional Medicine is the most effective way to heal the body and recover from chronic illness.We do this by performing a comprehensive evaluation of all of your body systems to determine what needs support or balancing.

At Functional Health and Acupuncture Institute, my approach is to assess and treat you with a variety of techniques and therapies that I feel will provide you with the best possible care.
I may assess am imbalance in an individual using Chinese Medicine diagnostics, western orthopedic and neurological testing, nutritional evaluation or a combination of all three.
Acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas or nutritional supplementation may be recommended, depending on your individual needs.
Integral to the success of any treatment is understanding the link between the body and the mind.

Functional Medicine is a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease.
Functional Medicine, like Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
Depending on your case and your personal needs, we use these two systems together or we may just recommend a singular approach to your care.
A major premise of Functional Medicine is that, using modern scientific analytical tools, we can identify many of the underlying causes of chronic disease and intervene to remediate the dysfunctions, both before and after frank disease is present.

An estimated 27 million Americans suffer from thyroid related illnesses, the majority of them women.
However, thyroid related disorders are often not well diagnosed.
Because thyroid hormone metabolism is complex, the thyroid itself may seem fine while patients suffer from symptoms of thyroid hormone imbalance.
In my experience it is all too common to hear patients complain of symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, depression and brain fog, all symptoms of thyroid hormone imbalance, even when they are told that their thyroid is fine or even while being medicated for thyroid insufficiency.

Vital Choice salmon are wild caught from the cold waters of the clean North Pacific outside of Alaska and Canada.
This means that they are not fed a diet of corn, grain, or soy pellets.
This also means a rich delicious flavor!
Responsibly Harvested from Pure Alaskan Waters.
After hatching, the Alaskan salmon swim upstream to very clear and pure fresh water lakes.
They will feed and grow here before swimming out into the Bering Sea.
Vital choice works closely with Alaskan natives to ensure that the salmon are harvested during their migration.

Does acupuncture hurt?
No, acupuncture should not hurt.
Many people do not even notice that needles are being used.
A momentary sensation may be felt around the needle as it is inserted, eventually creating a dull pressure or tingling around the area during the treatment.
Most people are amazed by how relaxed they feel during and after the treatment.
Many actually feel so relaxed during a treatment that they fall asleep.
