Food Sensitivity Testing

"Let your food be medicine and your medicine be food." - Hippocrates

Nutrition has a powerful influence on every aspect of your life. Many of the chronic illnesses we encounter as a society are directly linked to food choices. In fact, the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society's research has proven that how you prepare your foods and what you choose to eat directly affects your risk to these diseases (Better Health USA). The good news is that we can reverse this trend and foster healthier food habits!

Unlike the immediate response of a food allergy, symptoms from an intolerable food occur several hours later or even the next day. This delayed response makes it difficult to establish a correlation between what you eat and the symptoms you feel.

If you continue to suffer from lingering symptoms despite much effort, you may be a perfect candidate for food sensitivity testing! For more information or to schedule your appointment contact Sara AlRawi, ND MPH.

Pediatric Massage Therapy

Kelly Kempter recently completed her Pediatric Massage Therapy certification and is excited about nourishing the health of our youth through exposure to therapeutic touch. For more information or to schedule your appointment contact Kelly Kempter, NCTMB CPMT.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Sara AlRawi recently completed certification in Cosmetic Acupuncture. Cosmetic Acupuncture, or Facial Rejuvenation as it is commonly called, is an effective way to remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face. It can reduce the signs of aging by revitalizing the skin and providing a more youthful look to the face. For more information or to schedule your appointment contact Sara AlRawi, ND MPH.
