What We Treat

Are you tired? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. I see patients for all kinds of things, but the most common complaint is most definitely fatigue. About 90% of the patients I see are tired, if not all day, every day, then every afternoon or evening. Unfortunately, the solution for most is caffeine, which over time will make you more tired. It often stops working the way you want leaving you with fruitless doctor visits.

Common reasons for fatigue:

• Adrenal fatigue
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Blood sugar disorders
• Food sensitivities
• Toxicity
• Hypothyroidism
• Mold
• Insomnia
• Other Chronic Illness

Most people think they’re tired because they are getting older. If it were a part of aging then everyone would get tired as they got older and that is not the case.

Out of necessity I have become an expert at treating fatigue. Fatigue does not normally come alone. At Wellness Architecture, we address ALL your symptoms. Both physical and mental. Fatigue resolves when we address your global health. After assessing the reasons for all of your symptoms, we will curate a program to address everything that it is possible to fix. I hear this comment often, “I don’t ever remember having energy this good!” If you want to be the one saying this, then give us a call!

Hormonal imbalance can occur at different life stages. And we can address all of them:

• Symptoms related to a period
• Infertility
• Perimenopause
• Post menopause
• ***Thyroid

There are many issues that contribute to hormonal imbalance. Even though the stage of life may be different, causes can be similar. Such as:

• Toxicity
• Blood sugar dysregulation
• Nutrient deficiency
• Stress
• Poor sleep
• General inflammation
• Undiagnosed infections

Symptoms that are associated with hormone imbalance:

• Depression
• Anxiety/panic attacks
• Muscle/joint aches and pains
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Heat or cold intolerance
• Poor circulation
• Bloating
• Constipation
• Abdominal pain
• Digestive discomfort

When our bodies are not getting what they need, things fall out of place that result in hormonal imbalance. Whether you are frustrated because of PMS, hot flashes and night sweats or not being able to get pregnant, or terrible cramps – once we assess the underlying issues, we will propose a comprehensive program to address the hormone imbalance as well as any other symptoms that are affecting you. Our job is to make you feel like yourself again. And we do that through a unique process we call wellness immersion.

Wellness immersion incorporates our ever popular treatment sessions, diet and lifestyle changes, supplementation, and the information we get from a detailed lab analysis. By affecting how you feel, calming your nervous system – you are better able to handle what life throws at you. This makes the changes we request of you much easier to make. We often see a rapid change in symptoms, but don’t be fooled. It takes time for true healing to occur. That is why most of our programs are over a 12 week period. If you are curious and want to see if this might be a good fit for you - give us a call.

Thyroid dysfunction can show up in many ways—and it often hides in plain sight. Whether it’s hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, or subclinical thyroid imbalance, the underlying drivers are often the same:

• Chronic stress
• Nutrient deficiencies (iodine, selenium, zinc, iron)
• Blood sugar issues
• Inflammation
• Toxic exposure
• Undiagnosed infections
• Poor sleep

Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue and sluggishness
• Weight changes
• Brain fog
• Hair loss
• Cold or heat intolerance
• Constipation
• Mood changes
  
  

When we identify what’s disrupting thyroid signaling, we can correct it from the ground up. Through our wellness immersion process—treatment sessions, targeted nutrients, nervous system regulation, and comprehensive labs—we help restore thyroid function and support whole-body metabolism. The goal: to help you feel steady, clear, and energized again.

If you’re wondering whether your thyroid may be part of the picture, we can walk you through an individualized plan.

Do you find that despite your best efforts, you just can’t seem to lose weight? Whether it is 10 pounds or 100 pounds, sometimes losing weight can feel out of your control. 

There are many underlying reasons you may not be losing weight:

• Adrenal fatigue
• Blood sugar disorder
• Digestive disorder/GI infection
• Food sensitivities
• Lack of sleep
• Stress
• Thyroid disorder
• Nutrient deficiencies

Once these conditions are diagnosed and treated, losing weight becomes much easier. At Wellness Architecture, we don’t believe in dieting. The term itself implies a temporary fix. And we all know how that goes. There is a right diet for everyone – which is often not what you think. A healthy food for one person may not be healthy food for another person. Our bodies are also hardwired to take direction from certain foods that make us store fat or lose it.

After uncovering hidden medical issues, identifying the right foods and giving your body the signals it needs in order to have a healthy metabolism, your body will be able to release fat without going to the gym or exercising for hours on end. Our weight loss programs include treatment sessions, lifestyle changes, dietary changes and supplementation to help your body return to the shape that it was meant to be. Over the years we have helped thousands of people lose weight all over the Bay Area. None of these women used GLP-1 drugs - it was all achieved naturally. And all of these women were struggling to lose weight prior to participating in our programs.

We love resolving pain at Wellness Architecture. Whether it’s chronic or acute. Our patients generally come to us as a last resort. Frustrated with not getting answers or solutions through conventional means – once they start their wellness journey they often see pain resolve relatively quickly. We always work to reduce the inflammation of tension that is causing the pain. 

Types of pain we can reduce or resolve:

• Nerve pain
• Chronic headaches or migraines
• Joint pain
• Abdominal pain
• Chronic muscle pain
• Back pain

***We cannot fix bone on bone pain.

I have had many patients come in over the years who thought their pain was a lost cause. I have had patients who were told they needed joint replacements or other surgeries and been able to resolve their pain in just a few visits. We have been able to resolve 24/7 abdominal pain in just a few weeks.

One thing to be clear about is that pain is a signal that something is wrong. And once the thing that is “wrong” gets addressed, pain can start to resolve. It is important that through a holistic approach the underlying cause is fully addressed so that the pain does not return. The approach we use through our programs allows everything to be addressed at once, so that true healing can occur. We address all your symptoms, not just the most uncomfortable one. Our mission is to fully change the trajectory of your health. We do this through our wellness immersion programs.

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year. A third of infertility is caused by the woman, a third by the man and a third of the time there is an issue with both partners. Often the male component is overlooked. At Wellness Architecture, we take all of parts into consideration. Sometimes with advanced age or issues like endometriosis, medical intervention is necessary. However, in most cases, issues may be improved or resolved more simply with the help of naturopathic medicine.

There are many things that may delay or prevent conception:

• Abnormal sperm/low sperm count
• Blood sugar disorders
• Endometriosis
• Incorrect timing of intercourse
• Lack of ovulation
• Low progesterone (luteal phase defect)
• PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
• Stress
• Sub-clinical or undiagnosed thyroid disorders
• Weight (too low/high)

Outside of these issues, there is also unexplained infertility. This is often remedied by treating underlying health issues not commonly associated with fertility such as:

• Fatigue
• Poor diet/food sensitivities
• Poor digestion
• Toxicity
• Undiagnosed infections

At Wellness Architecture, we address your whole health and teach you how to take an active role in conception. Please give us a call if you have any questions. We are here to help!
