Jason Blalack-Open Gate Acupuncture
In his early 20s he healed himself of a serious chronic illness. He now lives his passion and purpose helping others understand health, find balance, awaken to their full self, and ultimately alleviate their suffering. He uses herbs, acupuncture, functional medicine, and transformation guidance and 20+ years of experience and is in full-time practice in Boulder.

Ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science addressing the physical, mental, & emotional to heal the root imbalance. Acupuncture consists of gentle insertion of fine needles into the body at strategic surface points. Acupuncture & cupping therapy are effective, non-invasive treatments that help both psychological & physical health. Chinese herbal medicine is the most sophisticated herbal system in the world.

After a diagnosis is made via examination of pulse, tongue, and symptoms, an individualized herbal formula is written for your unique situation. A contemporary alternative to western medicine using lab tests & botanicals, vitamins, minerals, and supplements instead of pharmaceuticals.

Email and Text: If you have a quick question I will respond with no charge.
However if you have multiple questions or desiring specifics for your case that require a detailed response, I encourage you to make an telemedicine appointment.
Otherwise I will respond and there will be a $2 / minute charge for my time.

Usually I don't need more than that, unless you have a stack of labs and we can discuss an estimate.
Writing up reports will be charged $2 / minute, and take more time.
His passion for wanting to help people, came from healing himself from an undiagnosable chronic illness in his early 20's.
Without relief from over 20 doctors and years of suffering, he began his deep study of alternative medicine and deeper root causes of disease.
He now embraces a truly holistic approach, addressing the mind, body, and spirit to awaken transformation and to bring back vitality.
I can help you awaken transformation through refined acupuncture and my precise ancient knowledge of medicinal herbs.
Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders have been a long time interest of mine for around 23 years.
I myself suffered severe symptoms in my early 20's where almost everything I ate produced symptoms of brain fog, bloating, pain, fatigue, IBS-like symptoms etc.
Now I can enjoy any foods, except gluten by choice, without problems.
Consequently, I have spent lots of energy understanding the intricacies of digestion and associated conditions such as SIBO, leaky gut (intestinal permeability), food sensitivities, parasites, malabsorption, hypochloridia, IBS, Crohn's, candida, ulcerative colitis, GERD, etc. and have had the pleasure of working with 100s of clients since 2002 in my Boulder clinic.
Adrenal fatigue / exhaustion is very common in today's time.
Having previously severely suffered myself I understand this condition well.
Thus adrenal issues and various forms of fatigue have been an ongoing interest of mine for over 20 years, and consequently I have worked with 100s of patient now with adrenal issues.
It is often a secondary occurrence due to a number of possible primary causes, for example, gastrointestinal imbalances, liver detoxification issues, food sensitivities, thyroid dysfunction, overwork, pathogenic organism (such as bacteria or viruses), envirmonenrtal toxins / heavy metals, psychological stress, etc.
His acupuncture provides an immediate soothing effect that helps me sleep that night and days beyond.
The herbs that he has given me help me to relax enough to fall asleep.
Jason takes the time each appointment to discuss physical, mental, and spiritual progress.
Thanks!
Other doctors simply prescribed sedatives, but no pill was strong enough to knock me out.
Rather than knocking me out, Jason's herbs allow me to access a place of deep safety and allowance, which is essential to the process of sleep.

I've been seeing Jason for 10+ years. He's helped me through many different issues through the years. If you are considering Oriental medicine, I strongly recommend Jason. If you haven't looked beyond Western medicine for any of your health issues you should definitely contact Jason.

Jason's top notch experience and mindful approach have made a standout positive impact in my life and my health. His wisdom of traditional Chinese herbs together with acupuncture helped my body/mind rebalance acute symptoms and over time learn to shift into a new way of being that really supported and changed my life for the better. I am truly grateful to have worked with such a gifted, humble, and compassionate practitioner. Always recommend his work.

I am so excited for 2018, and Jason’s help is a big part of that. I began seeing him in September 2017, after three MDs were unable to help me. My body had a pretty extreme response to the long term stress I have been going through. I remember the relief and hope I felt after meeting with Jason the first time. I’m feeling worlds better today than I was in the fall. I am on the road to complete recovery. Jason is so kind and helpful, and so dedicated to helping me heal from the inside out. I don’t really have words to properly express my gratitude. I am just humbled and thankful to have met him and be under his excellent care!
