The most common complaints that patients have are, "I am tired. I have no energy. I wake up tired." Fatigue is becoming the number one reason people seek medical care. Unfortunately, today's urgent care-based medicine is not equipped to diagnose nor understand the root cause of fatigue. Fatigue can be the result of hormone imbalance, blood issues, inflammation, the inability of the body to handle stress, structural issues, dietary choices, occult infections or dysbiosis in the intestinal track, to name just a few.

The "Why" you are fatigued is the key to correcting the problem. Your specific issues are unique to you and only you. Your unique biochemistry, physiology, genetics, environment, diet and lifestyle have an effect on how and why you feel the way you do. Exploring those aspects through laboratory tests and talking one-on-one, we can determine why you are tired and feel like you are running on empty.

After discovering the "Why," we can then determine "How" to remedy it. What is special about how I practice is, I have multiple techniques to address your unique "why." I am able to address your uniqueness with functional medicine/nutrition, chiropractic care and acupuncture. With the use of specific metabolic testing, which may include blood and genetics, I can determine the underlying causes of your fatigue These three tools find and correct the reason you feel tired: Structure, Function and Biochemical.

Are you tired of running on empty? Find out why and let's get you living again.
