We provide Holistic, Root Cause Medicine tailored to meet your unique health needs.
(1)

Specializing in cutting-edge treatments, personalized nutrition, detox, testing, preventative care and chronic illness management, our goal is to empower lasting wellness. Dr. Castro has been successfully treating chronic and degenerative diseases and promoting healthy aging for over 20 years. We provide a range of treatments that promote healthy body processes and enhance detoxification. We also offer bio-identical hormone replacement therapies to help offset deterioration from aging and improve quality of life. At Castro Integrative Medicine, we treat the underlying causes of illness and not simply use drugs to decrease symptoms. This approach is increasingly important as the rise in today’s illnesses continues to increase causing chronic fatigue, pain, excessive inflammation, dementia, autism, cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The treatments offered are those developed by innovative clinicians around the world that, though not embraced by conventional medicine in the United States, nonetheless have scientific evidence to support their use, and more importantly, have clearly demonstrated clinical safety and success.

Happy Birthday, Ashley! 🎉

Ashley’s birthday is this Sunday, and we want to take a moment to recognize her.

As our head nurse, she is deeply committed to this clinic and to every patient she cares for. She gives so much of herself to the work she does and plays a big role in keeping the clinic running smoothly behind the scenes.

Ashley brings a level of care, consistency, and attention to everything she’s a part of. It shows in the way patients are supported and in how the day-to-day flows so seamlessly.

We are so grateful for her and all that she pours into this place.

Wishing you a wonderful birthday, Ashley! 🤍

Small habits don’t stay small when they’re repeated every day.

Light exposure, movement, blood sugar, sleep, and stress all influence how the body functions.

These inputs affect metabolism, inflammation, and repair.

Not occasionally.
 Continuously.

Over time, that determines how the body performs and how it ages.

Aging reflects how the body is functioning day to day.

Change the inputs, and you change the trajectory.

Aging reflects how the body is functioning over time.
One of the processes that influences that is glycation.
Glycation happens when sugar alters proteins the body depends on for structure and normal function.

Those proteins are involved in things like:

•muscle and strength

•metabolism

•brain function

•blood vessels and circulation

Glycation changes the structure of those proteins.

When that happens, they don’t function the way they should.

Over time, this can:
•slow repair
•increase inflammation
•interfere with normal cellular function

Processes like glycation are part of what influences how the body functions at the cellular level over time.

When you support those systems, you support how the body ages.

At CIMC, many of the therapies we use naturally support these underlying processes - helping improve cellular efficiency, reduce inflammatory stress, and support how the body maintains and repairs itself over time.

Think of chronic inflammation as a slow, ongoing stress response in the body that never fully turns off.

Unlike acute inflammation, which helps you heal, chronic low-grade inflammation quietly damages cells, accelerates aging, and is now recognized as a root cause of many long-term conditions.

How inflammation impacts the body over time:

Speeds up cellular aging

Impairs energy production

Disrupts immune function

Damages blood vessels and circulation

Contributes to metabolic imbalance

Accelerates decline in tissues and organs

The good news is that inflammation is highly influenced by daily inputs.

Sleep, nutrition, movement, gut health, and environmental exposures all shape the level of inflammatory stress in the body.

At CIMC, we actively work to reduce inflammation - while also identifying what’s driving it.

That may include:

Ozone IV Therapy to directly reduce inflammation

PC IV Push to repair damaged cells and support detox

Vitamin C IV to lower inflammatory burden

Procaine IV to calm the nervous system and inflammatory signaling

Targeted detox support to help the body clear underlying stressors

Gut support to reduce inflammation at its source

LDI (Low Dose Immunotherapy) to regulate immune overreaction

Because when you address what’s driving inflammation, you influence how the body ages at a cellular level.

Glutathione isn’t just another antioxidant. 🧠✨

It’s a peptide made up of three amino acids, and it’s one of the primary systems your body uses to protect cells, detoxify, and support brain function over time.

It is the most important antioxidant in the mitochondria - where your body makes energy and where most free radicals are generated.

And it declines.
With age.
With toxin exposure.
With ongoing stress on the body.

So why a glutathione push? 💧

Because this is the system your body relies on to:
• Neutralize oxidative damage inside cells
• Support liver detox pathways
• Protect brain tissue
• Maintain proper cellular function

Low glutathione isn’t just a lab value.

It’s something we often see behind:
• Declining cognitive function
• Brain fog and poor focus
• Disrupted sleep
• Increased toxin burden
• Dull or stressed skin
• Slower recovery

A push allows us to deliver it directly, bypassing digestion and supporting the body where it’s actually needed.

This is about supporting cognitive health, clearer focus, better sleep, healthier skin, and how your body functions day to day.

Most people don’t think about emulsifiers.

They’re added to food to improve texture, keep ingredients from separating, and extend shelf life.
They’re everywhere. Dressings, sauces, dairy products, packaged foods. Even ones marketed as “healthy.”

This is what research is starting to show.

Certain emulsifiers may be changing the gut environment.

Not in an obvious way, but through subtle, repeated exposures that add up over time.

Research is pointing to:
• Shifts in gut bacteria
• Disruption of the gut lining
• Increased inflammatory signaling

And this is where it matters.

It’s not one exposure.
It’s daily exposure.

These ingredients are showing up in foods people eat every day.

And that repeated exposure may be enough to shift the gut environment over time.

What should you look for?

Common emulsifiers include:
• Polysorbate 80
• Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)
• Carrageenan

Check labels on the foods you eat most often.
That’s where exposure adds up.

Let’s talk about hair loss.

Hair is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body - which means it’s highly sensitive to internal changes.

Hormone imbalance.
 Chronic stress and elevated cortisol.
 Blood sugar instability.
 Poor digestion and absorption.

These can directly impact hair growth and contribute to hair loss.

And this is where people get stuck...
Focusing on the hair itself.

But if the underlying systems aren’t supported, you won’t see meaningful change.

Hair loss is often a downstream effect not the root issue.

Look deeper, and you start to see what’s actually driving it.

Happy First Day of Spring! 🌿🌸

This time of year naturally invites a reset - not through extremes, but through simple habits you can actually follow.

Here’s where to start:

• Get outside within 30–60 minutes of waking
 Let natural light hit your eyes (no sunglasses/glasses/contacts) to help set your circadian rhythm and support hormone balance

• Build your meals around protein + Whole Foods Aim for a solid protein source at each meal to support metabolism and stabilize blood sugar

• Start your day with water - and keep it going Hydrate first thing in the morning and consistently throughout the day to support detox and cellular function

• Move your body every day Walk, stretch, strength train - just stay consistent to support circulation and lymphatic flow

• Create a simple sleep routine Go to bed around the same time, reduce light at night, and give your body a real window for repair

• Reduce incoming burden Be mindful of processed foods, chemical exposure, screen time, and EMFs - these all add up and impact how the body functions

You don’t need a full overhaul.

Start with a few of these, stay consistent, and build from there.

Spring is a good time to begin.

Protein gets all the attention.
But one of the biggest nutritional problems in the modern diet is fiber deficiency.

About 90–95% of Americans do not consume enough fiber, and that matters far beyond digestion.

Fiber feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut that help regulate inflammation, metabolic health, immune signaling, and the integrity of the gut barrier itself.

When the microbiome is underfed, those systems can begin to suffer.

Dark leafy greens are one of the most nutrient-dense ways to increase fiber intake. Another strategy Dr. Castro often recommends is soaked chia seeds, which form a gel that can help slow carbohydrate absorption and support healthier blood sugar responses when taken before meals.

Your microbiome depends on fiber.

St. Patrick’s Day is known for everything green - but some greens are far better for your body than others.

Dark leafy greens are some of the most powerful foods in the human diet. They are rich in plant compounds that help regulate inflammation, protect the body from oxidative stress, and support natural detox pathways.

They also provide nutrients many people are lacking — including magnesium, folate, potassium, and antioxidants that support metabolic, brain, and cardiovascular health.
But quality matters.

Leafy greens are often heavily sprayed in conventional agriculture, so choosing organic whenever possible helps reduce exposure to chemicals like glyphosate.

Dark leafy greens are a simple example of something beneficial to add to your diet. When the body receives the nutrients it needs, it is far better equipped to repair, regulate, and function the way it was meant to.

☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Castro Integrative Medicine!
