Eastern medicine is about creating balance. It’s doesn’t focus as much on a diagnosis or the symptoms. If we create balance then the body works like it should so it helps the symptoms. We create balance by looking at viruses, bacteria, parasites, mold, chemicals, and heavy metals. If they are in balance then the body can be too!

Our clinic is hosting a VIP Value in Prevention Galleri cancer screening event — a convenient way to take a proactive step for your health.

What is Galleri?
The Galleri test can screen for a signal shared by more than 50 types of cancer, including many of the most serious and those without recommended screening tests today.¹²³ You can see the list of cancers screened for at Galleri.com/cancers.
If you haven’t taken the Galleri test before, or if it’s time for your annual screen, this event is an easy opportunity to be tested. Your health and peace of mind are our top priorities.
Why consider Galleri?
Some deadly cancers can develop and progress in less than a year.
Adding Galleri to your routine screenings may help detect more cancers early — when they’re most treatable.¹²
Modeled data suggests annual Galleri testing could reduce late-stage diagnoses of aggressive cancers by up to 42%.²
In a study with the American Cancer Society, Galleri detected a cancer signal nearly a year earlier, on average, than clinical diagnosis.¹

ARFID & PANS/PANDAS: Make This Part of the Eating Disorder Conversation

It’s National Eating Disorder Week, and ARFID is part of the conversation.
and PANS/PANDAS must be part of it too.

Sudden or newly worsening food restriction can meet full criteria for ARFID. Many PANS patients do. The presentation is real. The impairment is real. The medical risk is real. Approximately 50% of individuals with PANS experience restrictive eating, and nearly 17% face life-threatening complications.

Meeting criteria for ARFID does not answer the question of cause.

In PANS/PANDAS, immune-mediated inflammation can drive:
• Obsessional food fears
• Sensory intolerance
• Swallowing anxiety
• Severe restriction

The DSM requires clinicians to consider whether symptoms are better explained by a medical condition before assigning a primary eating disorder diagnosis.

If symptoms are abrupt or newly worsening, especially with OCD, anxiety, tics, regression, or functional decline, investigate.

Recognition matters. Because when ARFID is driven by PANS/PANDAS, treatment looks different.

Therapy alone is often not enough.

PANS/PANDAS requires a three-pronged medical approach:
• Remove the source of inflammation
• Treat the dysregulated immune response
• Provide psychotherapeutic support as needed

Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory treatments can be not just helpful, but in some cases curative.

If we do not screen for infection-triggered neuroimmune causes, we risk delaying treatments that could stabilize a patient.

Let’s broaden the ARFID conversation.

Meet Sydney!

She joined our team in 2021 as an RN, initially offering NRT services. Since then, her role has continued to grow — expanding into EDS and most recently becoming an ARNP.

Sydney’s favorite part of working here is getting to know our patients and their families, helping them feel better, and supporting them in living healthier lives.

Free time has been pretty limited lately with how busy life has been the past few years, especially after recently expanding her family. If you’re lucky, you may get to see that new family member around the office!

Meet Shannon!

Shannon is our owner and founder, who originally started the business Chiropractic in Motion with Dr. Ryan, our chiropractor. She then expanded her services, making the transition to what is now known as Holistic Health.

She made this change because she loves meeting and helping like-minded people who share the same goals for health and wellness.

When she’s not busy cheering at her kids’ sporting events, Shannon enjoys working out, traveling, and trying new foods.
