Improve Your Life

A Place of Healing, Calm, and Wellness.

At WholeHealth Chicago, we have a very rich toolbox of Integrative, Functional and Alternative Medicine. This means for each patient our practitioners rely on the best evidence-based medicine and individualize a treatment plan–what we call a healing path.

The patient and provider work together to develop a diagnostic and therapeutic program that makes sense for the individual. It combines the discipline of modern science with the wisdom of ancient healing.

We truly want you better, and the best thing we can hear from a patient is somebody coming in and saying the phrase, “I’m feeling better! I’m finally feeling better”.

Naomi Watts
ACTOR NAOMI WATTS, SURPRISED BY MENOPAUSE, WRITES A GOOD BOOK ABOUT IT

“Dare I Say It”, is subtitled, “Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause”. Being female has never been a walk in the park for Ms. Watts. She was last in her class to have her first period at eighteen, needed the guidance of Cosmopolitan Magazine and Sidney Sheldon novels (anyone remember those?) to learn the […]

ME-CFS
ME-CFS: THE “REAL” CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME: WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO KNOW IF IT’S YOU

The full name is “Myalgic Encephalomyelitis”. “Myalgic” is a medical term for chronically painful muscles. “Encephalomyelitis” means your brain, spinal cord and nerves are inflamed, cause unknown, although the current thinking is the trigger is some sort of phenomenon occurring after a viral infection (‘mono’, ‘flu’, COVID). The result is “chronic fatigue”. You are tired […]

MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS: THE “REAL” CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME 

The statistics are dreadful. Almost four million Americans are estimated to suffer this chronic and debilitating condition (almost a million more were added as victims of “long” COVID). Of these millions, seven out of ten remain undiagnosed (“we don’t know what’s wrong with you”). And, since there are no specific diagnostic tests for ME-CFS, they […]

WHY I STARTED WHOLEHEALTH CHICAGO: NOT WANTING YOU TO DIE FROM SOMETHING STUPID

Years and years ago, I was the Medical Director of a REALLY LARGE group here in Chicago. At its peak, we had over fifty doctors, both primary care physicians and members of virtually all specialists. We provided care for over 20,000 patients both in Chicago and the suburbs. There were patients in about 15 primary […]

Protecting Yourself (and Your Child) from the Dangerous Anti-Vaccine Cult

I wanted to pull this Health Tip from the archives of the 1,600 (give or take a few) on file since I started this back in 1994. I had written it in response to the vociferous anti-vaccination community which I knew had been funding completely false research, spreading really dangerous misinformation, and causing untoward damage […]

Social Media and Anger
GRUMPY? FEELING LIKE YOU MIGHT SNAP? STOP POSTING YOUR OPINIONS!

I’m sure you’ve read about the anxiety and depression, especially among teenagers, as they dealt with humiliation and bullying on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms. Also important, how their depression dramatically improved once they signed off the platforms and didn’t return.  In response to reports of ‘anger,’ ‘feeling more on edge,’ and other […]
