Wellness & optimization

Not unwell Not thriving either

Plenty of people arrive with no diagnosis and a real problem: exhausted, flattened, sleeping badly, running on a nervous system that never quite stands down. That is worth a proper medical look.

Physician-led
a real medical assessment
60 minutes
for the first consultation, because it takes that long
Soundbed included
a 30 minute acupuncture soundbed session with every visit

01What this is

A medical consultation, with a wider view

This is a physician-led integrative consultation: a proper history, and real attention to sleep, stress physiology, nutrition, and movement. The outcome is honest triage — sometimes a referral for tests, sometimes a psychiatric evaluation, sometimes a plan built around recovery and workload rather than anything prescribed.

Acupuncture and the soundbed session are part of it. The strongest evidence for acupuncture is in pain and nausea; its role here is nervous-system regulation and recovery, and people find it genuinely useful.

We do not offer IV drips, hormone protocols, or longevity panels.

03Is this for you

Where this helps, and where it does not

Yes

Often a good fit

  • Persistent fatigue, poor sleep, or a stress response that never switches off
  • Burnout that has not tipped into a diagnosable illness but is heading there
  • You want a physician to look at the whole picture before anything is prescribed
  • You are recovering from illness, surgery, or a hard year and want that supported properly

No

Not the right tool

  • IV vitamin drips, hormone protocols, or longevity panels — not offered here
  • Stimulants or sleep medication on a first visit — prescribing follows a full assessment
  • A specific undiagnosed symptom — that needs a diagnostic workup, which we will help you get

If the answer is that you do not need medical care, that is the answer you will get.

04Common questions

Is this a wellness package?

It is a physician-led medical consultation with an integrative scope. It can end with a plan for burnout, a referral for bloodwork, or a psychiatric evaluation — whatever the assessment actually calls for.

Do you offer IV drips, hormone therapy, or longevity panels?

No. We offer the tools with evidence behind them for specific uses, and those are not among them.

Does acupuncture actually work?

For pain and nausea, the evidence is reasonably good. For general wellbeing, many people find it calming and restorative — a different and smaller claim than treating disease, and the one we make.

Is this covered by insurance?

Usually not. Integrative medicine consultations and acupuncture are self-pay on most plans. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, we provide a superbill you can submit. We verify and tell you the number before you book.
