AREAS OF FOCUS

Is your face battling the clock? Years of sun damage coupled with an increased internal free radical load can work to accelerate the aging process with physical presentations of crow’s feet wrinkles and uneven skin tones.

If you are in your earlier stages of life, perhaps the likes of acne, eczema, rosacea or dry skin are your main issues.

Dr. Meera, ND works with your internal terrain to help quench free radicals and calm inflammatory cascades within your body.

Runny nose, itchy throat, frequent ear infections growing up, fatigue and easily susceptible to the flu? These and many more are clues that point to compromised immune function.

With the use of diagnostic functional medicine testing, Dr. Meera, ND zooms in on the integrity of your gastrointestinal tract as 80% of your immune system is housed there. This serves to restore integrity, decrease inflammation and help revitalize the immune system.

The two most significant tests related to immunological concerns are food sensitivity testing and comprehensive stool analysis.

If you suffer from chronic pain stemming from past injuries, inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, or are in need of post-operative care, Dr. Meera, ND is pleased to offer individualized programs to help to ease and manage your pain. Using acupuncture, IV therapy and supplemental protocols, Dr. Meera, ND works to decrease inflammation in the body and increase the circulation of blood to the affected area to promote healing.

Thyroid disease, (IBD) inflammatory bowel disease, MS (multiple sclerosis) and SLE (lupus) are but a few auto immune conditions that we are seeing on the rise.

Dr. Meera, ND works with your healthcare providers to monitor disease markers and inflammatory processes in the management of autoimmune diseases while supporting the body in a gentle and complimentary manner.

Since the inception of genetically modified foods into our diets in 1996, there has a been a steep (and perhaps not so coincidental) incline in chronic degenerative diseases, such as: Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Meera, ND takes an intense look at your past medical and personal history to determine he potential triggers of the diseases. For some, it is a heavy metal toxicity. For others, it is exposure to environmental toxins. And for the remainder, there is almost always a direct connection to the diet.

Dr. Meera, ND creates patient specific protocols using IV therapy, diet and lifestyle modifications and supplemental protocols using specific vitamins, minerals and amino acids to aid in slowing the disease process.

Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea…yes, these are all reasons to reach for the bottle of pink. But these are also signs that the integrity of the lining of your gastrointestinal tract is compromised.

In brief, when we are born, the cells of our gut are joined tightly together by what are known as “tight junctions”. Years of wear and tear, the use of prescription medications, increased stress loads and the ingestion of pesticide laden foods work to slowly break these tight junctions, allowing food particles to, quite literally, “leak” through the gastrointestinal tract and promote inflammatory cascades in the body.

Symptoms of leaky gut range from various digestive symptoms to systemic symptoms such as: arthritis, chronic migraines and eczema.

Work with Dr. Meera, ND to establish whether or not you suffer from a leaky gut and help to restore your body to a state of balance again.
