Health Professionals near Penrose, NC

Each patient that comes in to see me has a story to tell. I listen and address the root causes that guides each person towards a path to health and well-being. We will create an individualized program that includes meal planning and recipes, along with a functional approach to feeling better and getting the results you want. If needed, we can test for food sensitivities using LEAP/MRT, hormones, micronutrient deficiencies, cardiometabolic, and stool testing for gut health. This holistic approach assesses someone's body as a whole to bring balance back into one's life.

I've seen the strengths and weaknesses of modern medicine firsthand as a Medic and Critical Care Nurse over 23 years. There is no easy way to convey the power I've s seen through Eastern Medicine techniques, many of which are now being brought to the mainstream. Whether it's dietary threapy, herbal medicine, needling, cuppin, they have their roots in Eastern Medicine. The modern takes on these tools often lack the unifying vision for how and when to use them, when not to, when to be gentle and when to be more aggressive. These are the kinds of neiuances only a comprehensively trained practitioner can offer to you.
