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.

Let’s start with two thyroid facts: The diagnosis of hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormone) is missed by most physicians. Patients arrive with obvious symptoms of hypothyroidism every doctor learned in medical school: sensitivity to cold, hair loss, weight gain, dry skin, fatigue, constipation, depression, irregular periods, and infertility. The doctor listens, sometimes attentively, and […]
For those who were inattentive that day long ago in high school chemistry, the “heavy metals” refer to a group of especially dense metals or metal-like substances (called metalloids) found in our environment. Best left outside and not inside our bodies. These metals–specifically lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum–unfortunately can all be absorbed by your […]
We combine the best of conventional and alternative medicine.
At WholeHealth Chicago our patients have access to providers who use an integrative and functional medicine model.

Functional
Functional Medicine focuses on underlying causes rather than symptoms alone.
Alternative
Alternative Medicine uses therapies that may not be seen as mainstream in Western medicine. But are actually forms of ancient healing.
