For years, minerals were treated as “simple.”
Clinically - we’re seeing something very different.

I recently began integrating minerals from geochemist Ruth Findlay, founder of Ohm Healing Minerals, after learning about her research into how minerals interact with the body — not just internally, but neurologically and energetically.

We apply them topically:
- on acupuncture points
- over organs
- along scars

🌀 One patient had digestive upset and congestion. Osteopathic testing guided us to apply minerals over a surgical scar — and their symptoms eased almost immediately.

🌀 Another experienced a nervous system shift and later reported noticeable vision improvement.

Not everyone feels instant change — but we’re seeing consistent patterns of regulation and resilience over time.

🌱 One key insight: U.S. soil is often depleted in manganese (Mn) — a mineral essential for connective tissue, ligament strength, and nervous system balance.

Clinically, we’re seeing more joint laxity, dysautonomia, POTS, and inflammatory patterns in younger patients. While complex, mineral status may be one piece of the puzzle.

✨ We use osteopathic testing to determine which minerals are most supportive for each person — moving from guessing to precision.

Minerals don’t force the body.

They inform it.

💫 Sometimes the simplest elements carry the deepest intelligence.

☣️ Detox isn’t about pulling harder — it’s about supporting smarter.

Because many toxins are stored in fat and cell membranes, effective detox starts with strengthening the system that releases them — not overwhelming it.
One powerful strategy we use is lipid support, sometimes called lipid exchange. This includes targeted nutrition or IV support that helps rebuild healthy cell membranes and nerves — making it easier for fat-soluble toxins to disengage.

🧠 Glutathione plays a major role here — supporting the liver and helping es**rt toxins out of the body. Certain binders and compounds (like OSR) can also neutralize toxins like mercury, reducing their reactivity/toxicity while the body clears them.

Chelation therapies (like EDTA or DMSA) can be helpful — but timing matters.

🔁 Cycling is key, and minerals must be replenished, since chelators don’t discriminate and can deplete essential nutrients along with toxins.

This is where our approach differs:

✨ Osteopathic and energetic testing allows us to assess the whole system — not just what’s measurable on paper — and determine what your body responds to best right now.

Detox should never feel like punishment.

When done correctly, it supports energy, clarity, and resilience - not depletion.

Hugs do more than people realize – and the science behind it is surprisingly strong!

A 20-second hug has been proven to:

· Increase oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin (all the feel-good hormones)

· Lower cortisol (the stress hormone)

· Lower blood pressure

· Strengthen relationships

· Increase sympathy and joy

· Improve sleep quality

· Reduce pain

Make sure you give your Valentine a good long hug today – it’s good for both of your health!

At Center for Wellness, we use a specialized blood test that goes far beyond standard labs — especially for people navigating a cancer journey.

This advanced testing looks for circulating tumor cells in the bloodstream, which can sometimes be present even when basic blood work appears normal. It also provides insight into:

• Which genes are active

• How a tumor may respond to certain chemotherapies or radiation

• And ways to support the body alongside treatment

What makes this test unique is that it doesn’t stop at detection. It helps guide our personalized support strategies, including both conventional and holistic approaches – from which types of chemo/radiation would work best with a particular type of cancer; to which holistic modalities – Vitamin C IVs, Curcumin, and more, would be the most beneficial for you.

The test is processed internationally (in Greece), and while it’s an investment, it often gives clarity when patients feel stuck or unsure about next steps. We’re always learning from the results and using them to better support each individual’s care plan.

💡 It’s not just about finding information - it’s about using it wisely to support the whole person.

If you’re curious whether this type of testing could be appropriate for you, give our office a call.

“My labs are normal… so why do I still feel awful?”

This is something we hear often - especially from patients who know something is off, even when standard tests say otherwise.

Heavy metals and toxins don’t always circulate freely in blood or urine. Many are fat-soluble, meaning they hide inside cell membranes, nerves, and tissues — places routine urine or stool tests may not fully capture.

We’ve worked with patients who were told by multiple doctors that everything looked “fine,” yet their bodies told a different story. Chronic stress, dental work, neurological symptoms, fatigue, and even some autoimmune diseases - all can be clues that toxins are stored deeper than standard labs reveal.

This is why we don’t rely on a single test to define what’s happening.

✨ A diagnosis doesn’t define you — and a “normal” result doesn’t invalidate your experience.

Sometimes the question isn’t “Can we detect it?” It’s “How do we support the body in letting it go?”

Stress isn’t just emotional — it’s physiological. Blood sugar swings, undereating, toxin exposure, poor light environments, and disrupted circadian rhythms all signal danger to the body.

Those signals raise cortisol and growth hormones, suppress thyroid function, and increase inflammation.

By removing unnecessary stressors, the body can shift out of survival mode and into a state that’s more compatible with healing.

Small changes can send powerful signals of safety. Less stress = better internal communication.

Add in: daily sunlight exposure (& reduce blue light), take walks (if possible), get your bare feet on the earth for some grounding, ask for help when you need it, and take the time to get the rest you need.

ALS is a profoundly challenging illness - but my years of work have taught me that the story doesn’t always end where the diagnosis begins.

I’ve been part of the ALS Clinicians Council for over 3 years, and attending the Salt Lake City conference in October 2022 was nothing short of phenomenal. I was deeply inspired meeting patients who had reversed ALS, even though conventional medical models say it’s irreversible.

Over the last 30+ years serving patients through the ALS Think Tank, this work has been incredibly meaningful.

One standout patient was Kim Cherry, who was told by two neurologists that he had about 18 months to live.

When I asked him how he didn’t follow that prognosis, he shared four key reasons:

• He is a man of faith

• As an engineer, he was determined to solve the problem

• He changed his diet (no gluten, dairy, sugar, or peanut butter)

• He focused on detoxification

My role was to support him osteopathically and assist with detox. He had significant heavy metal exposure from working above a soldering factory.

Another memorable patient was a woman who had experienced a major car accident 35 years before her ALS diagnosis. Osteopathic assessment revealed nervous system involvement. After just one hands-on treatment combined with nutritional support, she experienced improved hand and finger mobility.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of serving a handful of ALS patients outside of HealingALS.org - and one thing stands out clearly:

✨ A key factor in any healing journey is supporting the patient’s health - not just managing the diagnosis.

Osteopathy begins with a different premise:

You already have health within you. It is part of your creation — God’s breath.

Our role is to support your unique journey and help augment that health.

That’s why I’m encouraged by the Healing ALS Registry Observational Study (HAROS) — now OPEN to U.S. residents.

Cancer places enormous metabolic demands on the body — often long before treatment even begins. Many people enter therapy already depleted of nutrients needed for energy, repair, and resilience.

Targeted nutrient repletion supports mitochondrial function, stabilizes blood sugar, reduces inflammation, and protects healthy tissue during stress. When these foundational needs are met, the body is often better equipped to tolerate treatment and recover afterward.

Nutrition isn’t an accessory to care — it’s part of the infrastructure that healing depends on.

💡 You can’t rebuild without materials.

Movement doesn’t have to feel like punishment.

Think play. 💛

What brings you joy?

What makes you smile? 😊

Regular exercise has been shown to be as effective — or more effective — than prescription antidepressants for improving mood. And the benefits go far beyond that:

✨ Supports emotional well-being

❤️ Strengthens the heart & circulation

⚡ Stimulates mitochondrial (cellular energy) health

🩸 Helps support healthy blood sugar balance

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s connection.

Find one, two, or three ways to move that feed both your soul and your body.


✨ I enjoy:

🌿 Walking in (or to) the park

🌅 Early morning jogs — especially in the park

🏃‍♀️ Trail runs — what a joy!

🚴‍♀️ Bicycling (I’ve done a few trail rides… so fun — and stay safe!)

🏊‍♀️ Swimming

🥾 Hiking

Your movement doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.

It just needs to feel good to you. 💛

Hormones are powerful messengers. They don’t just affect mood or metabolism — they tell cells how to behave.

When growth-promoting hormones like estrogen, cortisol, insulin, or prolactin stay elevated for too long, the body remains in a constant “repair and rebuild” state. Over time, that signal can support abnormal cell behavior instead of healthy regulation.

Balancing hormones helps restore clearer communication inside the body — calming inflammation, improving metabolic function, and encouraging cells to return to more normal patterns.

🌿 Hormonal balance isn’t about suppression — it’s about restoring rhythm.

Many people assume that fighting cancer always has to mean overwhelming the body (with intense treatments like Chemotherapy and Radiation). But integrative medicine often looks for ways to reduce pressure on the system while still targeting cancer’s weak points.

Cancer cells tend to rely on fragile energy systems, acidic environments, and stressed mitochondria. Certain supportive therapies aim to disrupt those patterns — slowing growth, improving tolerance to treatment, and preserving quality of life — without the same level of collateral damage.

This approach doesn’t have to replace conventional care, though some choose that path. It can also work alongside conventional treatments, helping the body stay stronger while treatment does its job.

✨In functional medicine the goal isn’t aggression — it’s strategic support.
