Functional Medicine

​​& Traditional Chinese Medicine

Both Functional Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine aim to support the natural physiological functions of the body to restore health. Instead of simply turning off or dulling symptoms, our goal is to uncover what is causing the symptoms and restore the proper functioning of the body's systems so that the symptoms disappear. 

Epigenetics

The Power of Lifestyle

Each individual is born with specific strengths and weaknesses which we call their constitution. An individuals constitution is influenced by both genetics and their parents lifestyle during and before pregnancy. New research in epigenetics shows that one's lifestyle, diet, behaviors and environment play a bigger role in one's state of health or manifestation of disease than genes themselves. How you live is more important that the genes you are born with and you have the power to transform the expression of your genes to create health or disease. 

Yang-Sheng . Lifestyle Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine there is a concept called Yang-Sheng, nourishing lifestyle practices to support longevity, vitality and organ reserve. Nourishing lifestyle practices include all aspects of life: diet, exercise, sleep, relationships and the mental-emotional state. What constitutes a nourishing lifestyle is unique to the individual and their specific constitution and needs. There is no one size fits all for diet, exercise, sleep, etc., this is what makes Traditional Chinese Medicine so effective. We look at each person as an individual, regardless of their dis-ease label, and customize an individualized treatment and lifestyle plan unique to their individual needs.
