Nutrition
What should you be eating?
Feeling better almost always starts with a change in your nutrition habits. Food is medicine, and the right nutrition plan will help you heal. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition, and you may benefits from a food sensitivity or allergy test to determine which foods are currently causing symptoms. Otherwise, the right plan depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
Microbiome Tests
Is your gut bacteria in balance?
Your gut contains different kinds of bacteria that literally keep it moving smoothly. These bacteria are collectively known as the microbiome. If the bacteria are imbalanced, there are usually symptoms to follow, such as bloating, diarrhea, pain, gas, or constipation. Stool microbiome tests analyze the composition of your gut microbiome and can be used to modify your nutrition plan in a targeted fashion.
Functional Labs
Are your organs working properly?
You've probably had basic tests like a blood count before. These labs help to identify states of disease, e.g. elevated cholesterol. Functional labs are different because they evaluate the function of organs, which helps to determine the source of your symptoms. Hormones, neurotransmitters, and other key markers of organ function can be the missing puzzle pieces in unraveling your symptoms.
Homeopathy
Have you tried homeopathy?
Homeopathic medicines provide the ability to target weakened body systems, facilitate detoxification, and improve mental health. Homeopathics are gentle but powerful, and work over time to restore balance in your body. They can be used for almost any condition and in combination with other medicines including pharmaceuticals. Check out my article on homeopathy for eye disease.
Herbal Medicine
Targeted botanicals formulas for any condition
Herbal medicines, also known as botanicals, can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions. Herbs are packed with healing compounds like polyphenols that have various medicinal properties. Herbs are especially useful to boost mood and improve energy in depression and to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms.
ZYTO Scan
Do you have a stubborn or mysterious issue?
The ZYTO scan is a non-invasive bioelectric device that provides a comprehensive evaluation of organ function. Patients love the ZYTO scan because it gives them a deep understanding of how their stress is effecting their body. It also shows hundreds of helpful markers like distressed organs and various sensitivities.
Weight Loss
Effortless weight loss
Every weight loss program begins with an analysis of your eating habits. Dr. Pistoia does not recommend yo-yo dieting, intense calorie restriction, or other fad diets that simply don't work. Learn how to build sustainable eating habits while consuming delicious foods and most importantly, losing weight!
Hormone Panels
Are your hormones in balance?
Almost everybody living in the United States is in need of hormone support. The adrenal glands are very important to keep healthy and most people are running on overdrive, which taxes the adrenals. This leads to symptoms like fatigue, irritability, insomnia, weight gain, etc. In other cases, hormones like testosterone or estrogen can be the culprit behind systemic conditions, and simply need some targeted support.
Cancer
Integrative and alternative therapies
Integrative cancer support considers the condition of your mind, body, and spirit. Improving the overall terrain of your body is the main goal, and adjunctive treatments may soften the aggressive effects of traditional treatment. Naturopathic therapies can help improve energy, digestion, nausea, mood, and overall quality of life.
