Our clinic experience
A multidimensional and personalized treatment approach to help you meet your wellness goals using:
1. Acupuncture
2. Personalized dietary therapy
3. Clinical herbalism
4. Lifestyle adjustments
The CoLymph® detox treatment method is a unique treatment approach developed by our clinic that aims to rebalance & restore three of some of the most important systems of our body for better overall health:
- GUT HEALTH
- LYMPHATIC HEALTH
- ADRENAL HEALTH
Over 25 years of clinical experience, knowledge, and research within functional & integrative medicine have provided us with an understanding of the crucial link between these three systems and the manifestation of pain and other common health concerns.
Our treatments have helped thousands of patients with long-term relief from their symptoms by addressing the root problems using individualized acupuncture, herbal medicine, and/or functional food therapy.
To do so, we aim to reduce inflammation, rebalance the gut microbiome & gut health, recharge the adrenal system for more balanced cortisol levels, and decongest the lymphatic system to eliminate blockages within the body that can all contribute to various health issues. This process aims to return the body back to a state of homeostasis, aka balance, which is the essence of achieving optimal long-term health.
Why it matters:
-
A Gut Feeling: The Importance of Digestive & Gut Microbiome Health
Your gut health and microbiome balance plays a huge role in one’s overall health and wellness, as shown by many research studies now with a surge in interest in this complex part of the human body.
Not only is your gut considered our body’s “second brain” as the body’s main producer of serotonin (a whopping 95% of your body’s serotonin!), but it also houses 80% of your immune system and is vital for proper inflammation control. From nutrient absorption and metabolism to expulsion of waste and detoxification, the health of your intestines and how well the good bacteria in them are thriving have a surprisingly large impact on our health outside of digestion.
This includes our longevity, brain health and cognitive function, mood, immunity, skin health, neuromuscular health, and pain levels.* -
The Lymphatic System: Your Body’s Vital Trash & Recycling Center
Let’s think about your plumbing or the trash bins in your house. With clean, unblocked pipes and regular trash/recycling pickups, you have smooth flow of water and waste in and out on a regular basis.
But what would happen if there were to be clogs here and there in the pipes, or if the trash/recycling bins weren’t emptied? Things would start to get backed up and cause a lot of issues– the same thing often happens with our lymphatic system!
Chronic inflammation oftentimes from poor dietary and lifestyle habits can lead to slower, weaker pumping of the lymphatic vessels. The result? Poor fluid balance with swelling in the body and/or face, weaker immunity from poorer circulation of white blood cells throughout the body, buildup of cellular waste from less efficient detoxing processes, worsening skin health, slow metabolism, and sometimes even pain.
Our unique treatment method helps target the lymphatic system to support & drain for better inflammation control.* -
The Adrenal System: Getting You Out of Fight-or-Flight
The adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, play a crucial role in regulating hormones that control metabolism, immunity, blood pressure, and the body’s response to stress. Adrenal fatigue occurs when prolonged physical, emotional, or mental stress forces these glands to overproduce cortisol, the primary stress hormone. This hormonal imbalance disrupts the production of other essential hormones, leading to a range of health issues, including fatigue, weakened immunity, and other symptoms. A high-stress lifestyle, poor diet, and accumulated toxins can keep the body in a constant fight-or-flight state, which only worsens over time.
At Thomas Acupuncture & Wellness, our focus is on restoring the natural balance between the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous systems. We aim to regulate cortisol levels, support kidney functions, and reduce the inflammation that drives chronic stress. By addressing these underlying issues, we help bring the body back to a state of balance, allowing for improved overall health and a reduction in stress-related symptoms.
