The Future Of Primary Care

The idea of going to the doctor needs to change… we should feel empowered by strategizing with a health professional on how to optimize your quality of life

Personalized medicine driven by data & focused on prevention.

Tailored treatments based on bio-individuality.

You are not an algorithm.

You are not a national average.

You deserve one-hour sessions, not 15 minutes, in order to better understand:

Your genetics

∞ Your history

∞ Your environment 

∞Your lifestyle goals

“ Getting to KNOW YOU allows us to create a wellness plan targeted at the root of your health issues rather than managing symptoms.”

Discovering your Bio-Individuality is the key to your health.

Functional & Eastern Medicine

A complete system of healing takes into account Western lab sciences while incorporating diagnostic wisdom, energetics, and emotion to address the root cause of imbalance or illness. Functional Medicine offers a whole new way to understand and look at the root of chronic illnesses, based on cutting-edge science. Eastern Medicine is a complete medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses for more than 3,000 years.

Together = COMPREHENSIVE CARE.

Comprehensive Lab Work

Using Western lab sciences, we can uncover often overlooked factors that dramatically impact your health. Education is a big part of our process and taking the time to go through lab markers helps to better empower patient decisions. It's not just about pulling every lab but understanding what labs are right for you at certain times in your treatment; which stops unnecessary spending and channels a focused approach.

Nutritional Biochemistry

Based on your unique physiology and lifestyle goals, we tailor a nutritional plan to optimize nutrient intake, address deficiencies, manage conditions, and promote overall well-being. Whether for weight management, cardiovascular health, hormone health, enhancing athletic performance, optimizing mental endurance, or just longevity-focused care, personalized nutritional plans play a pivotal role in achieving desired outcomes

Psychedelic Integration Strategies

Preparing the physical body supports the mind and experience. With the legalization and inspiring clinical research studies, psychedelic therapy has become a fast-growing modality in healthcare. Research is showing how psychedelic compounds mimic naturally- occurring neurotransmitters, and how they're able to create conditions for positive changes in thought patterns. We offer preparation for pre and post-integration to enhance your therapy.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a 3000-year-old impactful tool that works to reset your nervous system and helps your body to heal naturally by finding its unique homeostasis, a.k.a. - your body’s balancing point. This allows your body to drop into parasympathetic mode, rest, and digest while allowing you to create new neuropathways for understanding what a balanced baseline feels like. This ancient tool is not just about pain management, acupuncture is the origination of functional medicine by focusing on root causes, not symptoms. Eastern Medicine is a time-tested modality with a dynamic diagnostic system tailored to empower your well-being regarding all influences including emotions. Here at our Venice, California office, we incorporate acupuncture into every session.

Telemedicine allows us to touch base in life's critical moments and gets you the support you need at the time you need it the most. Whether that's phone consultations, lab reads, treatment plans, or dropship supplementation, we’re here to support you.

Medical Grade Supplementation

Understanding what supplements and herbal therapies that your body needs is a science in itself. Together we will define what nutritional building blocks and herbal therapies, and at what dosages are vital to making a therapeutic impact on your health. Simply understanding what supplemental companies to trust, what questions to ask, or even better, being educated on efficacious supplemental tools to have ready in your natural medicine cabinet.

Functional Lifestyle Strategies

Understanding the dynamics of how your body interacts with its environment is important when setting up the best lifestyle routine. Answering questions such as, “What does sleep optimization look like for you?”, or “What is the best workout routine for your body type and goals?'“. There are many ways we can discuss how to refine and maximize a supportive rhythm for your lifestyle.

Community Resources

Building your healthcare team, finding the right fit, or understanding who is in your community is always a question on the healing path. As important as tailoring your treatment plan, it is equally beneficial to tailor your support team & community. We can discuss many topics surrounding what style of providers are available, what healing modality can better support, or what outside resources help aid your search efforts. Areas of interest include but are not limited to nutritional cooking classes, structural body support, coaching, trauma release therapy, music and art therapy, psychedelic treatment, and other effective modalities. 



“There are many factors that make you, YOU.”

There are many factors that make you, YOU. It's not just about supplementation or changing a nutritional plan. It’s about understanding your own body’s internal dynamics and how it interacts with your environment. Combining tailored Western lab sciences with Eastern Medicine allows us to use a cross-disciplinary intellect to empower your well-being. I’ve had my own health journey… I’ve sat in that chair and now practice the way I would have liked to have seen for my own health care. Let's have this discussion and break down what is the most optimal for your body and lifestyle goals. I’m not looking for quantity but quality for patient care. This is the community I build and support.
