“Let thy food be thy medicine,” according to one of the first physicians, Hippocrates. Questions about organic foods? Gluten-free diets? When and what to feed your baby? Wondering about fish oil and vitamin D? We can work with you during routine well visits or as needed during specially scheduled consultations to review concerns and questions for your child.
Wondering how to harness the power of essential oils for healing? Some scents, like lavender, are relaxing, while others like eucalyptus are helpful to ease stuffy noses. We only use well-researched, safe, and clinically proven effective essential oils.
Interested in safer, more natural remedies for coughs, colds and a variety of common childhood ailments? We can recommend safe and effective homeopathic treatment.
An approach to chronic conditions, testing and nutraceutical supplements
Dr Alina uses a functional medicine for some chronic conditions because it truly addresses the ‘why’ of a disease or constellation of symptoms, and it offers an organized way to decipher the clues that are bodies are giving us in order to restore us back to wholeness and wellness. It takes into account the unique way in which our individual biochemical and genetic background interacts with absolutely everything we are exposed to on a daily basis—the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the environmental toxins we absorb, the thoughts and emotion we experience and the people around you.
