Functional medicine approaches insomnia by identifying and treating its root causes rather than masking symptoms with sleep aids. Common underlying issues include hormone imbalances, chronic stress, blood sugar instability, nutrient deficiencies, gut dysbiosis, and environmental toxins. Through personalized lab testing and a systems-based view, practitioners create tailored treatment plans that may include lifestyle changes (like optimizing sleep hygiene and circadian rhythms), targeted supplementation (e.g., magnesium, adaptogens, melatonin), and gut or stress-related therapies. By addressing the individual’s unique biology and sleep patterns, functional medicine offers a holistic path to lasting, restorative sleep.

Beyond LDN and Insomnia Functional MedicineInsomnia isn’t just a nighttime issue—it’s often a signal of deeper imbalances in the body. While conventional treatments may rely on sleep aids or sedatives, functional medicine aims to uncover and address the underlying root causes of disrupted slee...

🌿 Could Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Help with Long COVID? 🌿

Long COVID has left millions struggling with fatigue, brain fog, pain, and post-exertional crashes — often with little relief from traditional treatments.

But there’s growing interest in Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) — an affordable, off-label therapy originally used for addiction, now showing promise for immune regulation, inflammation reduction, and brain fog relief.

🧠 Early research shows LDN may:

Restore immune cell function

Reduce neuroinflammation

Improve fatigue and cognitive issues

Help with post-exertional malaise

📚 Recent studies — including one from Griffith University — suggest LDN can improve symptoms and quality of life for Long COVID patients. It’s not a cure, but it might be a step toward relief.

⚠️ While it’s not yet FDA-approved for Long COVID, many patients are seeing benefits under the guidance of providers familiar with its use.

✨ If you’re navigating Long COVID, feel free to contact Yoon Hang Kim MD.

Common symptoms—fatigue, brain fog, pain, and post-exertional malaise—can persist for months after the initial infection. As of 2025, no FDA-approved treatments specifically target Long COVI...

Australian doctor Richard Scolyer, diagnosed with incurable glioblastoma, remains cancer-free nearly a year after using an experimental treatment he helped pioneer.

As a pathologist and co-director of the Melanoma Institute Australia, Scolyer applied immunotherapy techniques he developed for melanoma to his brain tumor.

Typically, glioblastoma patients survive less than a year, but Scolyer's innovative approach, involving pre-surgical immunotherapy to boost immune response, has shown promising results.

He continues to advocate for further research into this treatment.

🧬 Integrative Oncology: Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science 🌿💊

More cancer patients are turning to integrative oncology—a holistic approach that combines standard treatments (like chemo & radiation) with evidence-informed therapies to boost quality of life and possibly outcomes.

✨ Some promising repurposed or complementary therapies gaining attention:

🔹 Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) – Immune modulator with potential anti-cancer effects
🔹 Ivermectin – Antiparasitic showing tumor-killing ability in lab studies
🔹 Mebendazole – Worm medicine that may disrupt cancer cell division
🔹 Chinese Herbal Medicine – Personalized blends to ease side effects, support immunity, and maybe fight tumors

🔍 Most of these are not yet mainstream—research is early, but growing. Integrative care is about empowering patients, not replacing conventional care. Always talk to your oncology team.
