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
With a title like that, I fully understand if you have an urge to hit the delete key. You endured a Health Tip a few years ago about my colonic, and I do applaud your strength for that. But now, having read in American Medical News that the U.S. is the 17th unhealthiest among 17 wealthiest nations […]
*This Health Tip was originally posted in 2018. More than 30 years ago, I read a book that managed to influence my entire life.

Some cytokines increase inflammation, imaginatively called pro-inflammatory cytokines, others decrease it: anti-inflammatory cytokines. They cause […]
Unexplained sudden deaths give me the willies but also pique my medical curiosity. Maybe you caught the story in last week’s New York Times which took doctors a year to solve. A healthy 47 y/o airline pilot was grilling burgers with his family in his backyard, became suddenly ill after eating his, then quickly unconscious […]
Over the years of writing Health Tips, I was surprised to discover that one I’d written a few years ago about Vitamin B 12 Deficiency had received the most comments and questions from readers. Since there have been some interesting developments in both the diagnosis and treatment of B12 deficiency, and since B12 deficiency remains […]
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.
Integrative
Integrative Medicine is restorative medicine that considers the whole person.
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.
