Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine

Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine www.akashacenter.com "I initially came here through Groupon for acupuncture and was very pleased with the high of quality of care.

Our approach to evidenced-based integrative medicine is guided by both the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine and the ever growing technological advances of Western Medicine. Qi, my acupuncturist left me feeling like new after each session. The front desk was always friendly, they did not try to force any of their supplements on me. Clean and relaxing, try spending some time on their patio after any session for added bliss. I will be booking an appointment with the main doctor, De Mello and will update my review." - Yelp Review

Cutting foods can bring temporary relief, but it’s not the same as healing. If your diet keeps getting more restrictive and symptoms still come back, it usually means the root issue hasn’t been addressed.

True gut healing focuses on rebuilding, supporting the gut lining, improving digestion, restoring balance in the microbiome, and calming the body’s stress response. When those systems improve, your tolerance expands instead of shrinking.

If you’re tired of constantly eliminating foods and not seeing lasting results, it may be time to shift the approach.

Most people are used to short appointments where symptoms are treated one at a time. But the body doesn’t work that way.

Energy, digestion, hormones, sleep, mood, and stress are all part of the same system. When one area is struggling, it often affects the others. That’s why looking at the full picture matters.

Integrative care focuses on understanding how everything connects so the real causes of symptoms can be addressed — not just the surface.

Nutrition, gut health, metabolic balance, and targeted supplementation all play an important role in supporting the body during treatment. We’re here to support you at every stage of life. - https://mailchi.mp/akashacenter/march-26

Many people know I’ve spent over 30 years studying gut health and treating digestive disorders. What fewer people know is that this path began with my own struggles. After training as a clinical psychologist and later as an integrative physician, I’ve spent decades helping patients overcome gastrointestinal issues and restore their gut health.

You don’t have to pick sides when it comes to your health.

True integrative care blends the precision of conventional medicine with the root-cause approach of functional medicine. It means using advanced testing when needed, honoring your symptoms, and building a plan that supports how your body actually work, not just managing numbers on a lab report.

If you’re doing “all the right things” but still dealing with fatigue, hormone issues, bloating, or inflammation, your nervous system may be the missing piece.

When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, it prioritizes survival over repair. Cortisol stays elevated, digestion slows, blood sugar becomes unstable, and healing gets pushed to the back burner.

Calming the stress response isn’t optional, it’s foundational.

Research shows that when depression or anxiety appears during this stage, shifting hormones may be a major factor. In some cases, hormone therapy has been shown to be as effective as antidepressants for perimenopausal women.

Understanding the root cause creates more options, more clarity, and more personalized care.

Metabolism, muscle mass, and hormone patterns shift with age, which means exercise has to become more intentional. Strength training, proper recovery, and targeted nutrition play a much bigger role than simply adding more cardio or spending longer hours at the gym.

Training smarter, not just harder, is what supports energy, metabolic health, and long-term resilience.

The gut is the communication center between immune system, brain, and hormones. Healing is also about supporting the gut. Small, consistent steps matter more than perfection. At Akasha, we see gut healing as a process of understanding your body and restoring balance from the inside out. - https://mailchi.mp/akashacenter/feb_news_26

Constant exhaustion isn’t about willpower. When energy stays low despite sleep, caffeine, or “doing everything right,” it usually means something deeper is out of balance. Energy is a reflection of how well your body is regulating blood sugar, absorbing nutrients, managing stress, and communicating between systems.

Functional medicine focuses on restoring those foundations so energy can return naturally, instead of forcing the body to push through depletion.
