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”.

Health Tips

ADVANCES IN ROSACEA AND THE LITTLE FELLOW IN YOUR GUT

I wrote an article on Rosacea some years ago and afterward we’ve treated dozens of patients with both Rosacea, the Demodex skin mite, and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Trying to stay abreast of everything we treat here at WholeHealth Chicago, from chronic Lyme to chronic fatigue, from fibromyalgia to complementary cancer therapies is a […]

ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND JANE’S HEART

Jane was seriously worried. Terrified, in fact. “I don’t want to die!” (She handed me an article printed from the internet.) “But this ‘Sudden Cardiac Death’ from taking antidepressants sounds terrible.

YOUR CHRONIC BACK PAIN BEGAN WITH YOUR UNHEALTHY GUT

Chiropractors and naturopaths have been yammering about ‘leaky gut’ to conventional physicians for years, receiving blank stares or charges of ‘quackery.’  I was once told by the Medical Director of a very large insurance company that if I ever used ‘intestinal dysbiosis’ as a diagnosis, WholeHealth Chicago would be subjected to a chart review, and […]

TESTOSTERONE FOR MEN, AND, YES, IT REALLY WORKS

In middle age, you, as a man, or your sexual partner (keeping this observation to her/himself), might notice a group of symptoms due to a slow but inevitable decline of your male hormone testosterone. As the movie director Martin Scorsese put it well, “Sex becomes memory.” Not necessarily. Not by a long shot. The medical […]

BABESIOSIS: DO I HAVE IT? COULD I GET IT?

Never heard of it, eh? That’s what each of the four new Babesia patients I have seen during the past two months have told me. They’d been through multiple doctor visits, had tests up the gazoo, and nothing materialized. Heard the routine, “We can’t find anything wrong with you. Maybe you’re anxious. Have you talked […]

“My Breath Smells Like An Open Sewer”

*Repost from April 4, 2016 Robert’s breath had become his worst nightmare and as a consequence he knew was starting to isolate himself socially. For three years, he’d tried every over-the-counter remedy. When he walked, Tic Tacs rattled in several pockets. Robert had seen specialists, had his teeth cleaned every three months, and followed a […]
