Over the last few years, many people have noticed something unexpected happening in their health, fatigue, inflammation, recurring infections, menstrual irregularities, difficulty detoxing, or a sense that their body simply isn’t responding the way it used to.

If you’ve ever wondered why, you’re not imagining it.

In today’s world, our bodies are being influenced by far more than lifestyle or aging. Environmental toxins, mRNA exposures, electromagnetic influences, and the rise of spike-protein shedding from vaccinated individuals continue to affect both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Many people who chose not to get the vaccine are still experiencing symptoms that feel “mysteriously new.”

And this is exactly what I’ve been seeing in my clinical practice.

Over time, I’ve worked with patients who are dealing with:
– unexplained inflammation
– hormonal disruption
– immune dysregulation
– chronic fatigue
– brain fog
– elevated stress responses
– difficulty clearing viruses
– heightened sensitivity...

Have you ever felt like your symptoms were being treated but the real cause was never identified?

This is where Functional Medicine makes all the difference.

Functional Medicine Looks for the “Why”

Instead of masking symptoms, we look deeper into your blood chemistry, hormones, nutrient levels, gut health, inflammation, and toxicity to understand what your body is trying to communicate.

Your symptoms aren’t random, they’re signals.
Fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, digestive issues, inflammation… Each one points to an imbalance that can be addressed when we understand the root cause.

• Clarity Leads to Healing
• Once we identify what’s driving your symptoms, we create a personalized plan that supports:
• nutrition and supplementation
• hormonal balance
• detoxification
• nervous system and sleep health
• lifestyle adjustments that restore vitality

The goal is simple:
Help your body return to balance so you can feel energized, grounded, and well.

COVID-19 vaccination, all-cause mortality, and hospitalization for cancer: 30-month cohort study in an Italian province”, authored by Acuti Martellucci et al. and published in the Journal of Experimental and Clinical Sciences (EXCLI Journal) in July 2025.

📝 The study analyzed the entire population of Pescara province (Abruzzo region, central Italy)—296,015 residents aged ≥11 years—from June 2021 (6 months after the vaccination campaign began) to December 2023 (up to 30 months of follow-up). It used official Italian National Health System data on vaccinations, SARS-CoV-2 infections, demographics, comorbidities, and hospital discharge records (SDOs) to proxy cancer incidence via first-time hospitalizations for cancers (excluding skin cancers).

🔑 Key findings:
- Overall cancer hospitalization: Vaccinated individuals (≥1 dose; 83.3% of cohort) had a 36% higher hazard ratio (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.23–1.50, p<0.001) for all-cancer hospitalization compared to unvaccinated (16.6% of cohort), ba...

You don’t just wake up one day and become diabetic.  In fact, there are virtually no symptoms that you may experience in early stages or in the pre-diabetes stage.  But then one day your annual blood tests come back and your doctor tells you that your Glucose was too high and your Hemoglobin A1C was over 6.4%.  What does that mean?  Where does that come from?  Why wasn’t I warned?  Now what?  All these questions may be going through your head at the time, but what you are about to find out is that there are hidden factors behind medications, diets, the foods we eat, and even hormones that may be contributing to the rise of the diabetic epidemic.  Diabetes does not have to be a progressive disease and can be controlled or even reversed with just a few changes to your lifestyle habits.  Even when you think you are exercising enough and eating the right foods, you may have been misinformed or maybe just “in the dark” about products marketed for weight control.

In a recently published large international study the findings show that taking a low-dose aspirin as a preventative for heart attack or stroke is no longer recommended for adults age 70 or over, according to guidelines released in March 2019.

The new recommendations that were issued by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, are a reversal of previous guidance that endorsed taking a baby aspirin daily to prevent cardiovascular problems in adults over age 50.  The two groups agreed that in older adults with low risk and no prior history of MI (heart attack) or stroke, the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding outweighed any heart benefit.

The changes come on the heels of the international study’s findings that even at low doses, long-term use of aspirin may be harmful, without providing any benefit, for older people who have not already had a heart attack or stroke.

Dr. Roger Blumenthal, co-chair of the 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of C...

Nearly 25 million American adults suffer from pain on a daily basis and 23 million report experiencing severe pain.¹In fact, pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined and is cited as the most common reason Americans access health care.

Pain is a major contributor to health care costs and a leading cause of disability.² The WHO, or World Health Organization estimates at least half adult population in the world experienced at least one headache in the past year.³ In the U.S. nearly 70 million prescriptions are written and 30 billion doses are consumed when over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDS are included.⁴ Although they may appear safe as they are sold in local convenience stores, by conservative estimates, over 105,000 people are hospitalized every year from side effects of these drugs and over 16,000 have died.⁵ Long-term side effects from NSAIDS are varied, but research demonstrates short-term use significantly increases your risk of heart attack.⁶

Thyroid medication topped the list of prescription drugs dispensed in the United States in 2015.  For many, symptoms are not improving when put on thyroid medication by their doctor; however, most of these people still affirm that they are tired, exhausted, and have trouble getting motivated.¹

“It’s a strong signal that this is an overused medication,” said Dr. Juan Brito, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic. “Some people really need this medicine, but not the vast majority of people who are taking it.”

As people age, they tend to see their doctors more.  Many patients will have the complaints of fatigue, low energy, weight gain, constipation, mental “fogginess”, etc. Clinicians will typically order a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and T4 blood tests as part of a routine panel.  The pituitary gland detects low thyroid function, which is indicated with low T4 and more so with T3 Free.  In response to low thyroid function, the pituitary gland produces TSH to stimulate the thyroid ...

• Migraine is one of the most common health conditions in the world—more prevalent than diabetes, epilepsy and asthma combined. A little less than 15 percent of the world’s population suffer with migraines
• An observational study recently found that people who get migraines have a different blood vessel structure in their brains compared to those who do not get migraines, causing greater asymmetry in hemispheric cerebral blood flow
• Environmental factors appear to play a significant role in triggering a migraine attack. This includes certain foods and drinks, hormonal changes, stress, external stimuli like scents or lights, dehydration and changes in sleep cycle
• Both aspartame and MSG are notorious for causing headaches and triggering migraines. Aspartame can also trigger other neurological symptoms such as visual disturbances and tingling in the extremities
• Preventing migraines begins by avoiding the triggers. Most often this means eating healthy whole foods (avoiding most processed

A common upper respiratory disease called Pertussis many often know as Whooping Cough. You may have even heard of it as the “100 day cough”? This is a lingering disease that starts off with cold-like symptoms such as runny nose, a mild fever, and maybe a cough. These mild symptoms last for almost 2 weeks and then, as the disease develops, you may notice a worsening rapid cough with high pitched “whoop” sound accompanied by fatigue and sometimes vomiting due to the extreme coughing.  This disease is extremely contagious by breathing in the bacteria that are present in droplets released when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The person who is infected is contagious for up to 3 weeks!  And the worst part is…they may not even know they have it.

Infants are at risk for most severe complications including pneumonia and seizures because their immune systems are underdeveloped.  But, since the disease starts off more like a cold, it is often not diagnosed right away until the more severe ...
