Our appearance can be reflective about the condition of our inner organs and cellular functions. Skin is the largest organ in the human body. It’s no surprise that when there is disease, the skin tends to show it. Aesthetic issues such as acne, dry skin, hair loss, weight fluctuations, or even skin laxity can be tell-tale signs of an imbalance or certain dysfunctions occurring inside of us.

Over the past several decades, celebrities, media, and our communities have influenced our own perception on what our appearance should be. The role of aesthetics in our daily choices spans from the technology we use; the kinds of fixtures we chose for our home to the clothes we wear. It’s no surprise that many have sought out medical spas to focus on their own aesthetic, especially using non-surgical treatments.. 

As board certified functional and fellowship trained integrative medicine providers, we are equipped to optimize the function of each cell and organ system while being mindful of the interconnectedness of each individual part with one another. When each cell is functioning at its best and there is a certain harmony between the body, mind, and spirit then disease and illness have little to no place to thrive.

Our team recognizes how important it is to evaluate key parts of one’s health that are oftentimes overlooked by traditional providers. Conditions such as mental health, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and stress are often compartmentalized into separate entities and treated individually by most conventional practitioners. For example, we are able to appreciate  the connections between prior trauma, environmental exposures, food sensitivities/allergies, microbiome status, chemical signaling via hormonal pathways, nutrition, and stress.
