Improve Your Life

Our services are all based in an integrative approach. Functional medicine is a real paradigm shift in the practice of health care. Instead of the traditional disease-centered focus of conventional medicine, functional medicine practitioners apply a patient-centered approach that addresses the whole person–not simply isolated symptoms.

CANCER AND THE CHEMICAL SWILL ACCUMULATING IN YOUR BODY

I’m sure you’re aware, just about every roadblock to corporate pollution initiated during the Biden administration (there were more than 100 of them) has now been reversed by Trump in favor of the polluters. Really disheartening how his EPA lackeys finalized a rule that specifically states that before any reversal of an environmental hazard can […]

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).

YOUR CHRONIC BACK PAIN BEGAN WITH YOUR UNHEALTHY GUT

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 […]
