Jason specializes in difficult to treat conditions using various modalities in Chinese medicine and Western alternative medicine. He currently has a special interest in the following:

• Gastrointestinal disorders (i.e. food sensitivities, IBS, Crohn’s, etc),
• Woman’s disorders (i.e. menstrual irregularities, infertility, endometriosis, fibroids, etc),
• Autoimmune disorders
• Endocrine disorders (thyroid, adrenal etc)
• Chronic fatigue

He focuses on customizing treatments for the individual, as well as the disease or complaint. This results in a herbal formula (usually bulk herbs) that is written specifically for you as well as individualized acupuncture based on your presentation at that moment in time. Your treatments are then modified as you change and heal.
