Age-old and time-tested, the practice of using herbs and plants as medicine has been used throughout cultures and generations for as far back as we can say. This use of the natural world as a resource for healing makes sense; so much so that these compounds are often mimicked, altered, and then patented by pharmaceutical companies though often with unwanted side effects. Dr. Levinson combines the ancient wisdom of folk medicine and traditional healing techniques with the rigors of modern science, confirming the medical efficacy of the herbs, tonics, and supplements healers have been using forever.
Vital nutrients are essential for every function of our body, which is why our holistic approach begins with food as medicine and evolves into how those parts influence immunity, neurochemistry, metabolism and all health processes. Just as we know that food can be the cure it can also be the problem, with food sensitivities contributing to serious issues. It is through fine tuning with dietary changes and nutritional supplementation that we can recalibrate our glands, improve circulation and inflammation and create a balanced biome in the gut that supports wellness. This two pronged approach at preventing and managing food sensitivities and treating with supplements and dietary therapies is one of the keys to our clinical success.
Starting with the tenet to first do no harm, we choose to begin with minimally invasive and holistic interventions, while also realizing there can and should be a healthy balance present between natural medicine and conventional, western care.
