Integrative Health
I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of healing developed over thousands of years in China, rooted in a culture, a diet, and a way of life very different from our own. After years of treating patients with acupuncture, I realized something important: TCM was developed within a unique cultural framework that naturally supported the healing process. Our culture is different, the way we eat, move, and live directly shapes our capacity to heal, and that difference matters when we need a stronger foundation to support our healing process.
TCM works beautifully, but it works even better when the body has what it needs to heal. That means addressing inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and the habits of daily life that either support or undermine our health.
This is why I expanded my practice into Integrative and Functional Medicine. Not to replace what works, but to complete it.

What Is Functional Primary Care?
Conventional primary care is designed to diagnose conditions and manage symptoms, and while that model is essential in many situations, it often leaves an important question unanswered: Why is this happening?
A patient walks in with high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, or stubborn weight gain. They leave with a prescription. The medication manages the symptom, but the root cause remains untouched. Over time, that unaddressed root cause can evolve, worsen, or create new challenges, sometimes including side effects from the very medications prescribed to help.
Functional Primary Care asks a different question. Not just "What do you have?", but "Why do you have it?"
Your Annual Functional Wellness Screening
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we offer an Annual Functional Wellness Screening: a comprehensive, whole-person health assessment designed to go beyond the standard check-up and give you a complete picture of where your health stands today and where it is heading.
This is not a rushed 15-minute visit. This is a dedicated, integrative screening that brings together conventional medicine, functional medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to evaluate your health from every angle.
What Your Functional Annual Wellness Includes:
Physical Assessment
Functional Lab Assessment
Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness Screening
Preliminary Recommendations based on screening findings
How It Works:
Step 1 — Annual Functional Wellness Screening (in person) Your comprehensive screening visit. We gather your complete health picture: physical exam, lab orders, lifestyle review, and a full conversation about your health goals and concerns.
Step 2 — Results & Recommendations / Follow Up (in person or telehealth) Once your lab results are ready, we meet again to review every finding in plain language. We identify patterns, explain what your results mean, and outline your personalized recommendations and next steps.
This two-visit cycle is offered twice a year: your health is consistently monitored, and your plan is updated as your body changes and responds.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Plans
Food is medicine. But not in the way most people think.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health we believe that true nutritional health is not about starving yourself, eliminating entire food groups or living on salads and vegetables. It is about building a sustainable, enjoyable and nourishing way of eating that becomes a natural part of your life, not a temporary fix.
Our nutrition recommendations are evidence based and integrate the principles of Lifestyle Medicine, the renowned Blue Zones research and the Mediterranean diet, three of the most scientifically validated approaches to long term health, longevity and disease prevention. Combined with your lab results and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, we create a nutrition plan that is completely personalized to your body, your lifestyle and your goals.
Whether your goal is achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, reducing chronic inflammation, balancing your hormones, stabilizing your blood sugar, improving your digestive health or simply feeling more energized and vital every day — we meet you exactly where you are. Our personalized nutrition and lifestyle programs are designed to work with your body, your schedule and your real life — because sustainable health is not about perfection, it is about progress. Together we will identify the nutritional changes that will make the biggest difference for you and guide you every step of the way.
We do not believe in diets. We believe in a way of living.
Because the healthiest people in the world don't follow diets, they follow a lifestyle.

Chinese Herbal Formulas
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the oldest and most sophisticated healing systems in the world — a tradition refined over thousands of years of clinical observation and practice. Unlike generic herbal products found on store shelves, every formula we create is custom designed specifically for you — your unique pattern, your symptoms, your age and constitution and your lab findings if available.
No two formulas are ever the same — because no two patients are ever the same.
Using traditional diagnostic methods combined with your lab results, we identify your specific TCM pattern and design a precise herbal formula using pharmaceutical grade herbs. Your formula evolves with you throughout your treatment journey — adjusted as your body responds and heals.
Whatever brings you to us — whether you are navigating hormonal changes, struggling with chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, poor sleep, pain, skin conditions or recovering from illness — Chinese herbal medicine meets you exactly where you are. But what truly sets our approach apart is the Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis. Two patients may share the same Western diagnosis — the same condition, the same symptoms — yet receive completely different herbal formulas. Because in Chinese medicine we do not treat the disease — we treat the person. Your unique TCM pattern, your constitution, your emotional state, your tongue, your pulse — all of these guide the precise combination of herbs your body needs at this specific moment in your healing journey. This is the art and science of Chinese herbal medicine — and it is unlike anything else in modern healthcare.
Targeted Supplement Protocols
In a world overwhelmed with supplement options, knowing what your body actually needs can feel impossible. Are you taking the right form of Magnesium for your specific needs? Is your Vitamin D dose actually sufficient? Are your Omega-3s the right quality and dosage? Is your CoQ10 the right form for your age and health condition? These are the questions most people never get answered.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health we take the guesswork out of supplementation completely. Every vitamin and supplement recommendation is based on your specific needs, lab results (if available), nutritional deficiencies, health goals and TCM diagnosis — using only professional grade, third party tested supplements from trusted brands.
From everyday vitamin essentials — to more targeted protocols for specific conditions like insomnia, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, cardiovascular health and immune support — every recommendation is personalized, evidence based and designed to work synergistically with your body.
"Why is my Melatonin not working?" If you have ever asked yourself this question you are not alone. Melatonin is one of the most misused supplements today. Most people take doses that are far too high — when research shows that less than 1mg is often more effective than the standard 5-10mg found in most store brands. Others take it at the wrong time, use the wrong form, or don't realize that their body may actually need nutrients that support your body's own natural melatonin production rather than replacing it.
This is exactly the kind of targeted guidance we provide — because the right supplement, in the right form, at the right dose and at the right time makes all the difference.
We also review your current medications — because many commonly prescribed drugs deplete essential nutrients your body needs to function optimally. Statins, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, birth control, acid reflux medications and many others are known to deplete critical vitamins and minerals. Identifying and addressing these depletions is an essential part of your complete health picture — and something conventional medicine rarely addresses.
No generic protocols. No unnecessary supplements. Only what your body truly needs.
