Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine

Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine www.akashacenter.com "I initially came here through Groupon for acupuncture and was very pleased with the high of quality of care.

Our approach to evidenced-based integrative medicine is guided by both the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine and the ever growing technological advances of Western Medicine. Qi, my acupuncturist left me feeling like new after each session. The front desk was always friendly, they did not try to force any of their supplements on me. Clean and relaxing, try spending some time on their patio after any session for added bliss. I will be booking an appointment with the main doctor, De Mello and will update my review." - Yelp Review

Modern medicine has made incredible advances, but has it lost something along the way?

In this clip from the Upworthy Podcast with Craig Jablin, Dr. Edison de Mello explores how industrialization led to a hyper-specialized approach to healthcare—one that often overlooks the body as a whole.

Integrative medicine, rooted in philosophies dating back centuries, reminds us to ask not just what the disease is, but why it’s happening and why now.

Your skin mirrors your gut — and when there’s yeast or bacterial imbalance inside, it shows up outside as acne.

Antibiotics, Accutane, creams… they target the symptom, not the source. It’s time to stop fighting your skin and start healing it from within.

From meditation and walks to nutrition and medical support, small consistent steps can help bring your body back into balance and make weight loss more sustainable.

Stress, lack of sleep, inflammation, and shifting hormones can all play a role in weight gain. That’s why taking an integrative approach matters—looking at your lifestyle, sleep quality, stress management, and hormone balance together.

The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for fiber varies by age and s*x, but generally, adult women should aim for about 25 grams of fiber daily, and adult men should aim for around 38 grams.

However, older men and women have slightly lower targets, with women over 50 aiming for approximately 21 grams and men over 50 aiming for about 30 grams.

These are general guidelines, and individual needs may vary, so it is often recommended to increase fiber intake slowly.

I’m really excited to share that I’ll be part of the Hotflash inc Summit this year.

From September 29 to October 3, the Summit brings together 36 speakers who aren’t afraid to have real conversations about perimenopause and menopause. It’s about science, honesty, and practical tools you can actually use.

I feel honored to be alongside voices like Stacy London, Dr. Mariza Snyder, Kim Vopni, and Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker.

What I love about this event is that it’s not about fear or quick fixes. It’s about giving you the clarity you need to figure out what works for you. And it’s free to attend.

Jaw tension, clenching, and stress often go hand in hand—and they can take a real toll on your daily life.

Acupuncture with Dr. Teresa at the Akasha Center offers a natural way to release that tension, calm the nervous system, and ease the cycle of pain and stress.

By restoring balance in both body and mind, acupuncture supports relaxation, reduces inflammation, and helps protect against the long-term effects of chronic clenching.

Navigating perimenopause and menopause can feel like walking through fog. Sometimes, everyone is pointing you in different directions, and no one is giving you a clear map.

That’s why I’m part of the Hotflash inc Summit, a free, 3-day online event cutting through the noise and getting real about midlife health. https://summit.hotflashinc.com/?sc=Da9ew8uW

Eczema isn’t just a skin issue—it’s a sign that your skin barrier and immune system need support.

While prescription creams and biologics often mask the symptoms, they don’t fix the root cause. A functional approach goes deeper: repairing the skin barrier, rebalancing bacteria, calming inflammation, and supporting gut health.

That’s how we calm the itch from the inside out instead of just covering it up.

Hormone balance during perimenopause or menopause can look very different if you’re also managing endometriosis. While estrogen and progesterone therapy can ease symptoms and support overall health, the key is finding the right ratio — enough progesterone to prevent activation of endometriotic implants while still addressing discomfort.

At Akasha Center, our integrative approach helps tailor hormone therapy to your unique needs, so you can transition through this stage with comfort and confidence.
