Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine at The Center combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans addressing root causes of health issues. We use nutrigenomic testing, heavy metal analysis, and food sensitivity assessments to create customized nutrition and supplement protocols. Our approach integrates evidence-based complementary therapies with conventional treatments to restore optimal bodily function and prevent chronic disease progression.
Integrative Cancer Care
Our Integrative Cancer Care Program offers comprehensive support for patients undergoing traditional cancer treatments. We provide naturopathic medicine, mind/body therapies, and traditional Chinese medicine to enhance treatment effectiveness and reduce side effects. The program includes personalized consultations, therapeutic visits with specialists, and ongoing quality assessments to optimize patient outcomes through a holistic approach to cancer care.
Mind/Body Skills Groups
These evidence-based groups teach stress management techniques including biofeedback, meditation, and guided imagery. Led by faculty from The Center for Mind/Body Medicine, sessions focus on improving emotional well-being through self-awareness practices. Participants learn practical tools for managing chronic conditions, pain, and life stressors in a supportive group environment over eight structured weekly sessions.
BRCA Genetic Testing
Our BRCA testing program identifies hereditary cancer risk through genetic analysis of breast, ovarian, and related cancers. Using saliva or blood samples, we assess genetic mutations that increase cancer susceptibility. The service includes pre-test counseling, secure online risk assessment, and post-test consultation to develop preventive strategies for high-risk patients and their families following ACOG guidelines.
Energy Healing
Offered by trained practitioners, energy healing sessions focus on optimizing the body's energetic flow through chakra balancing and therapeutic touch. Based on yogic principles and modern energy medicine concepts, these sessions aim to support physical healing and emotional well-being. Services are provided on a donation basis with proceeds supporting medical charity initiatives in India.
