Dietary Changes and Hormone Balancing Resolves Migraines, Hot Flashes, Bloating, and Constipation

Naomi experienced great improvements in her migraines, hot flashes, bloating, and constipation. Going grain-free was very helpful for her. She had responded partially to going gluten-free, but then when cutting out all grains (namely rice), she felt even better. Naomi also had some bacterial and fungal imbalances in her gut in addition to female hormone and adrenal hormone imbalances. By addressing all of these, she responded wonderfully and no longer had any symptoms. Get help with dietary … [Read more...]

Uncovering the Cause to Your Anxiety and Depression

by Dr. Ruscio on May 5, 2017 3 Comments

Uncovering the Cause to Your Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders are one of the most common conditions we see today, and anti-depressants are one of the most prescribed medications. Anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications are frequently being prescribed to patients without asking the question of why the patient is depressed in the first place. As with any imbalance in the body, it’s important to get to the root cause and treat the cause rather than throwing a band-aid on the symptom. If you need help with … [Read more...]

Patient Testimonials

I began my healing journey with dr. Ruscio over a year ago. As a medical doctor I was aware of the tremendous potential of functional medicine, but remained cautiously optimistic, considering the hype and lack of evidence based approach in which many functional medicine practitioners participate. With his clinically sound, research driven, and results oriented approach, dr. Ruscio quickly ended any doubts, as he successfully diagnosed and treated me for IBS & SIBO. I have found Dr. … [Read more...]
