How does anxiety effect our physical health? Over the past 20+ years of clinical practice as a functional medicine practitioner, I have seen patients suffering with the following because of anxiety:
-Depression
-Body aches and pains
-Extreme fatigue
-High blood pressure
-Headaches
-Irritability
-Breathing problems
-Heart palpitations
-Stomach problems
-Loss of libido What causes anxiety? Many things can cause anxiety such as:

-Physical trauma. You injured yourself in the past but you never fully recovered. This affects circulation in your body and commonly leads to anxiety. Fortunately I’m able to help resolve this issue with my patients.

-Chemical trauma. You took antibiotics or had an adverse reaction to the flu shot, or any vaxxine and became poisoned in your liver, gall bladder, and whole gut. This greatly damages brain health and function and leads to anxiety for many. Fortunately I’m able to help resolve this issue with my patients.

-Emotional trauma. You were neglected as a child or have been bullied by others or you loss a loved one or you had your heartbroken experience, or you were forced to put something into your body that you are worried may cause chronic illness down the road. This leads to anxiety for most people. Fortunately I’m able to help resolve this issue with my patients.

Once you know the most common causes of anxiety it’s time to deal with it straight on! If you are struggling with anxiety or you don’t want to rely on prescription drugs to manage it as a bandaid for you but rather you want to deal with the cause of it so that you can be free of it, then it’s time to reach out to me and let me guide you through your difficult struggles in your life. 714-408-7899

During these dark and unsettled times we are facing, it is easy to become anxious and depressed especially when things are not going your way. It is during these trying times that we need to stop what we are doing and take some time to take care of our own well-being so that we can truly take care of others. If you are overwhelmed with many things in your life and have not been able to take some time to take care of yourself, you need to start right now! Don’t allow yourself to be driven into the ground before it’s too late! Set aside times for yourself to calm down, relax, enjoy the goodness of what you have, and let yourself be recharged, refreshed, and renewed! Your life and the life of your loved ones depend on it! So go do it!

It’s been a long and hectic week. My work is physically draining at times but mostly mentally draining. Listening to my patients complain, question, ask for help, and to be able to provide what they need is very rewarding and gratifying. Imagine you have a health condition like gastritis or autism or concussion or you have migraines and you’re helpless, unable to find a way out of it. For me to be able to help these patients feel more normal this week was really satisfying for me. I have another day to do this tomorrow for others and I am thankful for the opportunity each and every time. I’m just savoring the moment of what has been a crazy year yet knowing I made a difference in the lives of many patients and for this I’m happy. Have a great weekend you all!

Since your brain controls your nervous system which controls your bodily functions such as blood pressure, blood sugar levels, heart rate, cholesterol levels, circulation throughout your body, my focus in getting patients well centers on your brain health and function.

How is it that all of these conditions mentioned by this patient can not only be helped, but also resolved?

It is because making your brain healthier and function better enables your body to perform the healing that it is designed to do!

Whether you suffer with migraines, severe allergies, Shingles, fibromyalgia, severe spinal conditions, neurological conditions like Bell’s Palsy, concussions, neuropathy, etc. I have found that taking care of brain health and function resolves these conditions.

These conditions commonly are caused by one or more of the following:

-Liver and gall bladder conditions
-Immune system problems
-Gut problems
-Past history of antibiotics use
-Past history of chronic emotional stress
-Past history of injuries: blows to the head, car accidents, sports injuries, overworking yourself for many years with wear and tear on your body

The combination of treatments that I provide at my clinic target the root causes of each condition, enabling us to find high success 85-90% in the outcomes of our patients.

We resolve health conditions using gentle,noninvasive, safe, proven, and effective treatments, all without drug medications!

If you or someone you know is suffering with a chronic condition that is not going away or even is getting worse, call us for a free consultation at our clinic: 714-408-7899.

Not sure if you have headaches or migraines? A good number of my patients suffer with chronic headaches but don’t have the common associated symptoms of sensitivity to light, vertigo, nausea, intense throbbing, while lasting for several days. The ones who have these oftentimes debilitating symptoms become bedridden and unable to function, much less eat or drink their usual daily meals.

So what can you do if you have a headache or a migraine??

People most commonly look to over-the-counter pain meds to knock out the pain.

Others sleep it off while others use ice, heat, massage, yoga, exercise, meditation, vitamin supplements, chiropractic, acupuncture, and all of these have been known to help bring relief for many.

What methods of self-care do you use to deal with your headaches or migraines?

How has it worked for you??

My thoughts for today:

Every day the sun rises, we awaken and are blessed to have a new beginning, regardless of how our day went yesterday.

I’m thankful that God gives us a new beginning not only every year, every month, and every week, but also every day!

It’s easy to stay unhappy, disappointed, depressed, worried, and anxious when things don’t go your way.

The sooner we get out of this mindset and feeling, the sooner we can find fresh love, life, faith, and hope in all that we are and do.

Let us learn from our failures, mistakes, and disappointments and move on to bigger and better things in our lives!

Let us not allow our past to drag us down, to keep us from reaching our life’s goals!

Appreciate what you are, what you have today, and pursue what you can become in the future!

In all things be thankful and in all things be content!

Be kind to all, even to those who disrespect you and mistreat you.

Go out of your way to show kindness and generosity when others least expect it...simply to brighten their day.

What is one thing you can do today to brighten someone else’s day?

For the last 20 years of clinical practice, I have found how important it is to understand the perspective of each and every patient that I decide to work with. To understand their pain and suffering as much as I can, which oftentimes I am able to because I’ve been through my fair share of acute and chronic illnesses throughout my childhood and early adulthood. When I’m able to empathize with each patient, they can sense that my care for them is genuine and thorough. This is the only way I know how to care for patients: Show respect, love, kindness, generosity, forgiveness, humility, and genuine concern as I would like to be treated in the same way....

Do you or someone you know have 3 or more of the following symptoms:

✨Muscle pain all throughout your body especially in your neck, shoulders, back, elbows, and hands

✨Constant Fatigue day and night
✨Difficulty sleeping
✨Frequent mood swings
✨Feeling sluggish and dizzy
✨Headaches
✨Nausea
✨Skin sensitivities
✨Chemical sensitivities
✨Muscle weakness
✨Others
If you answered “Yes” to at least 3 of these symptoms, chances are that you are 1 in more than 3 million Americans who suffer with Fibromyalgia in the United States.

Our clinical research and work with patients with Fibromyalgia over the last 20 years has shown promising results where our patients recovered by 80-90% after participating in our Fibro-Pain Release Program which is a comprehensive program where a combination of the following steps helps us to identify the striking causative factors in their condition and how to treat them:

✨Comprehensive blood, saliva, GI, Hair testing is performed to uncover hidden metabolic factors that are overlooked by standardized medical testing
✨Functional nutritional testing to identify foods that trigger inflammatory response in the muscle tissue of each individual in order to customize the optimum foods that each patient should eat for minimal inflammatory response
✨Body assessment of nerve/blood/lymphatic/cerebral spinal/electromagnetic flow in various areas of the body that indicate need for stimulation to promote anti-inflammatory effects in the body
✨Functional vitamin/mineral testing to identify which nutrients each patient needs in order to reduce the body’s high level of inflammation and to prescribe the necessary high quality organic supplements best suited for each patient to assimilate and utilize
If you would like more information about how we can help you or someone you know with Fibromyalgia, feel free to call us at 714-408-7899.

Autoimmune disease: when your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body

Over 24 million Americans suffer from some form of autoimmune disease

Any body part including your brain can be affected.

Most common early signs and symptoms of this disease are:

Fatigue
Insomnia
Brain Fog
Skin rashes
Joint aches and pains
Abdominal Bloating
Heartburn
Acid reflux
Allergies
Muscle weakness and tightness
Brittle hair and nails
Loss of appetite
Cold hands and feet
Excessive sweating

Testing: Blood, saliva, stool, urine, hair, etc.

-used to identify:

1. Abnormal proteins, known as antinuclear antibodies
2. Pathogens in the gut
3. Chemical toxicity in organs affected
4. Infections in organs affected
5. Inflammation in organs affected
6. Food and environmental sensitivities that he was exposed to triggering much of his problems

These all needed to be addressed in order for him to reverse his condition.

I prescribed the following to get him back on track with his health:

1. Food plan to avoid foods triggering his symptoms
2. Treatments to stimulate brain function for his immune system so that it doesn’t attack his own organs
3. Supplements to help reduce inflammation, sluggishness, brain fog, pain, and skin irritation
4. Laser treatments to help his skin heal
5. Lifestyle changes such as the practice of deep breathing, exercises to promote immune system health, and mindset exercises to promote healing

Autoimmune disease is reversible when the proper diagnosis is made, the right kind of treatment is implemented and the appropriate lifestyle changes are practiced. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

DM me if you would like to know more how to reverse this disease that is ever increasing in numbers in the US each and every year.

Gut health depends on a variety of factors:

1. Brain health
2. Diet
3. Emotional stress
4. Chemical stress
5. Physical stress
6. Food sensitivities
7. Microbiota imbalance

These factors needed to be addressed adequately in order for this patient to receive the outcome of our care for her condition.

1. Brain health: Her nervous system function had problems in areas of her brain that were under functioning related to her gut that needed stimulation to restore normal and healthy gut function
2. Although she ate a healthy diet overall, there were some foods we tested that were causing inflammation in her gut and thus triggered many bad reactions there for many years.
3. Tied in with her gut issues were emotional stresses she held onto from her past since childhood that were triggers of her gut reaction and these triggers needed to be “deprogrammed” and shut down in order for her gut be able to be repaired and heal
4. Chemical stress came in the form of chemical toxicity from exposure to many things in her past that accumulated in her body such as aluminum and mercury found through lab testing. These highly contributed to her gut inflammation and needed to be eliminated from her body through a detoxification program customized for her. This was a great help to her repair and recovery of her gut.
5. Physical stress came in the form of her gut organs that were improperly off alignment that triggers inflammation there and contributes to the bad reactions in her gut. Careful manual corrections of these organs significantly helped in the process of repair and recovery of her gut health.
6. Testing for specific food sensitivities was also key in identifying foods she was eating that was also causing bad reactions in her gut. Many of these food reactions are not necessarily involving pain or discomfort but could show up as fatigue, brain fog, sneezing, coughing, mucus production, achy joints, and insomnia. Eliminating these food sensitivities was a huge breakthrough for her gut recovery.
7. Microbiota imbalance in the gut after many years of taking antibiotics as a child and throughout adulthood for many patients results in this imbalance where microbiota is essential for healthy and normal gut function. We helped her gut restore this imbalance by prescribing high quality probiotics and other vitamin supplements to promote repair and recovery of gut health.

These and other factors not mentioned are the keys to promote repair and recovery of healthy gut function even if a patient has suffered with chronic gut issues for 20 years or more.

When it comes to chronic gut problems that don’t go away, it’s important to find a doctor who addresses these and other important issues using functional medicine and nutrition to get to the root cause of the problems.

If you or someone you know has troubling gut problems that are not going away, please contact us at 714-408-7899 or look us up at DrTimothyChiu.com to get more information about how you can resolve your gut issues once and for all.

Don’t take on any kind of illness on your own! I know it’s hard many times to admit that you are ill in some way, shape, or form, but the worst thing to do is to go through it yourself. Be humble, own it, admit you need help, and pray for the right people to help you along the way and you will find wellness!
