Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal fatigue Dysfunction occurs when the adrenal glands are overworked by stress and cease to produce the hormones, specifically cortisol, your body needs to perform optimally. Unfortunately, you can’t solve adrenal dysfunction with supplements. It’s a lifestyle problem that requires a lifestyle change and, in most cases, alternative medicine expertise. Get the support you need at The Healing Collective.

Symptoms range from fatigue to persistent cough to cognitive changes. Get treatments to support the immune system, revitalize the cells, and reduce the inflammation associated with Long COVID.

Dementia Prevention & Treatment

Are you or a loved one at risk for Alzheimer’s disease? Or perhaps you are concerned by recent cognitive changes. The key to minimizing and reversing cognitive decline is to address the issues as early as possible. The Healing Collective’s ENCORE (ENabling COgnitive REpair) program is based on 30 years of scientific research and aims to prevent and reverse cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. 

Detoxing & Toxicity Testing

While the body's liver has built-in detox functionality, it may be overwhelmed by excessive toxins coursing through the circulatory system. Signs include fatigue, allergies, type 2 diabetes, infertility, behavior and mood disorders, and even cancer. Detoxing can help you avoid serious illness and frustrating symptoms that decrease your quality of life. The Healing Collective identifies your body’s toxic burden through toxicity testing, including blood, urine, and antibody tests.

Autoimmune Disease

Although there are more than 80 known autoimmune diseases, they all perform similarly–the immune system attacks the body's organs and tissues instead of foreign threats and disease. Common symptoms of autoimmune conditions include fatigue, skin problems, joint swelling and pain, gastrointestinal issues, fevers, and swollen glands. 

At The Healing Collective, we treat your autoimmune disease through functional medicine.

Thyroid Disorders

Other Functional Medicine Treatments

  • Disease Prevention & Health Promotion

    What would your life look like if you could achieve optimum wellness? Unfortunately, too many people today settle for disease and low quality of life. They feel powerless to do anything to prevent what seems inevitable. At The Healing Collective, we believe your body possesses infinite healing capabilities. Our practitioners identify and correct imbalances so you can thrive and prevent disease from manifesting in your body.


    We offer annual exams, screening and labs, and health education to empower you in your health and wellness journey. By identifying the root of health issues before disease progression, we can implement functional and integrative medicine tools to reverse and prevent illness.

  • Chronic Disease Care

    Chronic diseases are rising in America, with six out of ten Americans having a chronic disease and four out of ten having multiple diseases.

    By detecting what is missing and replacing it and determining what is in excess and removing it, our methods support the body's ability to heal itself. Achieving this balance restores your body's optimal health and wellness.

From comprehensive psychiatric care to Benzodiazepine weaning, we are here to help you achieve healing, peace, and enhanced wellbeing.

So how can you know if your body is overtaxed by toxins? Signs include fatigue, allergies, type 2 diabetes, infertility, behavior and mood disorders, and even cancer. 


    Detoxing can help you avoid serious illness and frustrating symptoms that decrease your quality of life.
