We are not looking to simply mask symptoms. Your care plan starts with a full picture — then targets the mechanisms driving how you actually feel.
Step 01 / 03

Collect the pieces
Your consultation is all about collecting all the pieces of the puzzle — symptoms, history, labs, lifestyle, patterns the standard visit missed.
Step 02 / 03

Identify root causes
We combine advanced functional diagnostics with classical Chinese medicine diagnostics to find what is actually driving your symptoms.

Guide you to healing
A personalized protocol combining nutrition, herbs, acupuncture, supplementation, and lifestyle changes — explained, not prescribed.
The consultation
Collecting the pieces — history, symptoms, labs, patterns.
Collecting all the pieces of the puzzle.
Your first visit runs up to 60 minutes — in-office in Sunrise or by telehealth. We walk your full history: diet, sleep, stress, environment, family history, prior diagnoses, medications, supplements, and any labs you already have.
A Chinese-medicine intake (tongue, pulse, meridian patterns) runs alongside the functional workup (inflammation, micronutrients, hormones, thyroid, gut, adrenals) — two lenses to triangulate.
By the end, you know what we think is going on, what testing would confirm it, and what a realistic care arc looks like.
Why standard labs miss it
“Why are my blood tests normal but I don’t feelnormal?”
Standard labs flag disease. Advanced testing reads the biochemistry behind your symptoms, so we can correct the imbalance — not just name it.
We also work in functional ranges — the narrower window where a marker is optimal. Normal-but-low or normal-but-high is the gray area: not diagnosable yet, but already symptomatic, and where we start.
When bloodwork isn’t enough, we order from seven categories of advanced testing — gut, organic acids, nutrients, heavy metals, adrenals, mold, and food sensitivities. See the testing panels.
The care plan
Chosen for what your body needs — not the loudest trend.
With the full picture, we design your plan. It may combine:
Nutraceuticals and targeted supplementation based on test-verified needs.
Herbal medicine — Chinese formulas, single herbs, and botanicals.
Acupuncture and, where indicated, biopuncture (homeopathic injections at acupuncture points).
Dietary guidance tied to your sensitivities and deficiencies.
Stress management, sleep restoration, and movement prescriptions.
Detoxification protocols matched to identified toxic burden.
Care is paced and explained — why each piece is there, and when to expect change. If it’s not working, we adjust.
FAQ
Is this a replacement for my primary care doctor?+
No. Functional and Chinese medicine work alongside conventional care. We do not prescribe medications or stop any prescribed by your other providers without coordination.
How long is the first visit?+
Up to 60 minutes — in-office or telehealth. Plan on a thorough conversation; it is the single most important diagnostic we have.
Do you take insurance?+
We are an out-of-network practice. We provide a detailed superbill you can submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for eligible services.
How long before I feel different?+
It depends on the case — some notice change quickly, complex conditions take longer. We set checkpoints up front so progress is measurable.
Is acupuncture painful?+
The needles are hair-thin and most patients feel little more than a gentle pressure. Many find the sessions deeply relaxing.
Do you work with children?+
Yes, we see pediatric and adolescent patients — including developmental, digestive, and neurological presentations. Pediatric care is gentle and parent-involved.
