Lancaster County Osteopathic & Integrative Health

Lancaster County Osteopathic & Integrative Health We want to meet you where you are on your health journey, we will help you set health goals, and give you the tools to reach them. What does that Mean?

Those tools include osteopathic treatments, integrative medicine, and other services. At LCOIH we practice Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine and Integrative Medicine. Our medical director is an Osteopathic physician Dr. Boyer, DO. Dr Eric Lake, DO is also part of the team. At LCOIH, we strive to get people healthy. We value real health by promoting education about simple nutrition, true motion and toxin management. We empower people with good sound information and help them make great choices. The body was created to heal itself. In order for that to happen 3 things need to be in place. 1. Your body needs to be moving well. This means how you are moving your body through exercise, but also how your insides move. As Osteopathic Physicians we learn how the whole body moves including: The spine, head, brain and internal organs like your liver.2. You need to lower your burden of toxins. Toxins can mean a lot of different things. Bacteria, foods, stress and some medications can serve as toxins to your body. We need to remove those or manage them.3. You need the proper nutrition. We teach people that eating real/ whole foods mean eating organic, non-GMO and minimally processed foods.

Mitochondria are not just power plants.
They are decision-makers.
They regulate inflammation, aging, and disease.

A quick breakdown:

🔵 Energy signaling, not just energy production
Mitochondria don’t just make energy.
They decide how energy is produced, where it’s used, and when cells change their behavior.
Energy itself acts as a signal that tells cells what to do.

🟣 Inflammation control
When mitochondria are damaged, they release internal components into the cell.
The immune system interprets these as danger signals and turns inflammation on, even without infection.

🟡 Aging regulation
As we age, cells become worse at clearing damaged mitochondria.
These dysfunctional mitochondria build up, increasing oxidative damage and low-grade inflammation that drives aging.

🟢 Why many diseases look different but share the same root
Neurodegenerative disease, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disease, sepsis, and cancer all involve failure of mitochondrial function.
Different organs. Same underlying problem.

🟠 Why “antioxidants” alone miss the point
The problem isn’t just damage.
It’s where the damage happens, why it happens, and whether the cell can remove the broken machinery afterward.

đź”´ Why this changes how we think about health
You don’t treat dozens of unrelated diseases separately.
You support mitochondrial health—and multiple systems improve together.

What this all means:
• Mitochondria are control centers, not batteries
• Inflammation often starts as an energy problem
• Aging reflects declining cellular maintenance
• Many diseases are the same biology showing up in different tissues

Health isn’t just chemistry.
It’s how cells manage energy.
And mitochondria sit at the center of the system.

My favorite Friday routine! Castor oil packs. They are a great way to get your liver moving and detoxing. If you find yourself waking up between one and 3 AM on a consistent basis, your liver may be congested. Doing castor oil packs will get it uncongested.

Guys this recipe was so good. I'm totally making it for the office this week.
