Health Consultations & Clinical Herbal Prescribing
Individualized care for health, hormonal, digestive, and nervous system concerns — with or without acupuncture
There's a lot of health information available right now — supplements, protocols, influencer recommendations, functional medicine frameworks, lab interpretation guides. Some of it is useful. A significant portion of it isn't, and sorting through it without clinical training is genuinely difficult.
This service is for people who want a clinician to help them think clearly about what their body actually needs — drawing on East Asian Medicine, clinical herbal prescribing, nutritional supplementation when relevant, and the kind of careful whole-body assessment that doesn't fit neatly into a standard medical appointment.
This is clinical care — not a supplement protocol, a biohacking framework, or a wellness optimization plan. The goal is to understand what's actually happening in your body and address it with precision, not to add more products or practices to an already crowded health routine. For many people, part of the value of this service is figuring out what to stop doing as much as what to start.
What this service includes
Clinical herbal prescribing
Classical herbal formulas are multi-ingredient prescriptions designed to address the specific pattern driving your symptoms — not just the symptoms themselves. Formulas are individualized, adjusted over time as your presentation shifts, and prescribed with careful attention to herb-drug interactions and tolerability. This is meaningfully different from supplements or generic botanical blends — and it's one of the most effective tools available for conditions involving complexity or chronicity.
Supplement and nutritional guidance
When nutritional supplementation is relevant — vitamins, minerals, or specific micronutrients — recommendations are made as part of the overall plan. These tend to be simple, evidence-based, and specific to your presentation rather than a broad supplement protocol. The aim is clarity rather than a rotating list of products.
Health information navigation
If you've been piecing together a health protocol from multiple sources — practitioners, online resources, functional medicine frameworks, or your own research — this is an opportunity to review what you're doing with a trained clinician and make sure it's coherent, appropriate for your presentation, and not creating unintended interactions or gaps.
Lifestyle recommendations
When relevant, guidance around diet, sleep, stress management, and movement may be incorporated — always specific to your situation and realistic to implement, not a generic wellness protocol.

Digestive function — motility, inflammation, regularity, and the underlying pattern driving symptoms

Health protocol review — sorting through what you're currently doing and whether it makes sense
How clinical herbal prescribing works
Herbal formulas are built from individual herbs combined into a prescription specific to your presentation. The formula changes as your pattern changes — what's appropriate in the first month may differ meaningfully from what's needed at three or six months. Each prescription is reviewed for herb-drug interactions and adjusted for any medications or health conditions in your history. Herbs are sourced from suppliers who test for identity, purity, and safety.
