What we Treat
Pain Management
Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care — and one of the most undertreated. Whether from an injury, chronic condition, or unknown cause, pain is always a signal that something in your body is out of balance. While medication can help manage severe pain temporarily, it masks the symptom rather than addressing the root cause — and often comes with side effects that create new problems.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, pain is never treated in isolation. We investigate the root cause of your pain — combining acupuncture, functional lab testing, Chinese herbal medicine, targeted supplement protocols, and personalized nutrition to create a complete, lasting path to relief.
-
Acupuncture is one of the most well-researched and widely recognized natural treatments for pain relief. Recognized by the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health as a safe and effective treatment for both acute and chronic pain, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points that activate the body's natural pain-relieving mechanisms — releasing endorphins, reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and calming the nervous system response to pain. The results are not temporary masking — they are lasting relief by addressing the root cause.
Chinese herbal medicine adds a powerful and personalized layer of pain relief. Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend a classic time-tested herbal formula known for its effectiveness in reducing pain and inflammation, or design a completely custom blend based on your complete health picture — your pain pattern, your underlying imbalances, your constitution, and your lab findings — all part of identifying your root cause. Whether classic or custom, every formula is personalized to you, combining Eastern medicine wisdom with modern clinical insight to treat the root cause — not just mask the symptom. -
Most conventional approaches to pain never investigate what is happening at a biological level — leaving patients with medications that mask the symptom rather than answers that address the root cause.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we use comprehensive lab testing to identify exactly what is driving your pain. We investigate your inflammatory markers, nutritional status, hormonal balance, and metabolic function — because chronic pain is rarely caused by a single factor.
Every panel is selected specifically for you based on your symptoms, your health history, and your goals. This is the difference between treating you and treating your condition. -
Once your labs identify the specific biological root causes driving your pain, we design a completely personalized supplement protocol — not a generic anti-inflammatory formula, but a precise, lab-guided plan addressing exactly what your body needs to heal and restore optimal function.
Depending on your findings, your protocol may address key minerals essential for muscle function and nerve health, specific vitamins critical for tissue repair and reducing inflammation, amino acids that support your body's natural healing and regeneration, essential fatty acids foundational for reducing chronic inflammation at the root cause, and targeted probiotics supporting gut health and systemic inflammation levels.
All prescribed specifically for you — guided by your labs, your symptoms, and your root cause. -
Chronic pain and inflammation are profoundly affected by what you eat. Inflammatory foods, nutritional deficiencies, blood sugar instability, and poor gut health all contribute to pain at the root cause level — often in ways patients have never been told.
We do not believe in restrictive diets — we believe in a lifestyle that naturally reduces inflammation, nourishes your tissues, and supports your body's ability to heal itself. Your personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan is built entirely around your lab findings, your pain pattern, and your daily life — creating sustainable habits that reduce inflammation, support nerve and tissue health, and restore your body's natural capacity for healing.
Beyond nutrition, we address sleep quality, movement, and stress — because lasting pain relief requires treating the whole person, not just the painful part.

Neuropathy
Neuropathy is one of the most challenging conditions in conventional medicine — because Western medicine has very limited solutions to offer. Most patients are given medications that mask the pain without addressing the root cause, and told there is little else that can be done. The nerve damage continues, the symptoms progress, and patients are left managing a condition that is rarely given the comprehensive attention it deserves.
Neuropathy damages the peripheral nerves causing pain, tingling, burning, and numbness — and can result from diabetes, toxins, trauma, surgeries, chemotherapy treatments, or unknown causes.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we take a fundamentally different approach. Because of the chronic nature of neuropathy, treatment focuses on long-term results — each patient receives a completely individualized care plan based on the root cause and severity of their specific symptoms.
-
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture are widely recognized as some of the most effective natural treatments for neuropathy. By stimulating specific points along the affected nerve pathways, acupuncture enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged nerves, supports their repair and regeneration, reduces pain, numbness, and tingling, improves balance and coordination, and alleviates muscle weakness.
Electroacupuncture adds an additional layer of nerve stimulation — delivering gentle electrical impulses along the affected pathways that accelerate nerve regeneration, reduce pain signals, and improve nerve conduction. Acupuncture and electroacupuncture work to address the root cause of nerve damage — promoting real, measurable improvement in nerve function over time.
Chinese herbal medicine adds a personalized and powerful layer of support for nerve regeneration and pain relief. Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend a classic time-tested herbal formula known for its effectiveness in supporting nerve health and circulation, or design a completely custom blend.
Whether classic or custom, every formula is personalized to you, combining Eastern medicine wisdom with modern clinical insight to treat the root cause — not just mask the symptom. -
Most conventional approaches to neuropathy never investigate what is happening at a biological level — leaving patients with medications that mask the symptom rather than answers that address the root cause.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we use comprehensive lab testing to identify exactly what is driving your neuropathy. We investigate your blood sugar regulation, inflammatory markers, nutritional status, circulation, and nerve health markers — because neuropathy is rarely caused by a single factor.
Every panel is selected specifically for you based on your symptoms, your health history, and your goals. This is the difference between treating you and treating your condition. -
Once your labs identify the specific biological root causes driving your neuropathy, we design a completely personalized supplement protocol — not a generic nerve support formula, but a precise, lab-guided plan addressing exactly what your nerves need to heal and regenerate.
Depending on your findings, your protocol may address key minerals essential for nerve conduction and muscle function, specific vitamins critical for nerve regeneration and myelin sheath health, amino acids that support your body's natural nerve repair process, essential fatty acids foundational for nerve membrane health and reducing neuroinflammation, and targeted probiotics supporting gut health and systemic inflammation.
All prescribed specifically for you — guided by your labs, your symptoms, and your root cause. -
Nutrition plays a critical and often overlooked role in nerve health and regeneration. Blood sugar instability, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and poor circulation all directly contribute to nerve damage and slow the healing process.
We do not believe in restrictive diets — we believe in a lifestyle that naturally supports nerve regeneration, reduces neuroinflammation, stabilizes blood sugar, and improves circulation to the affected areas. Your personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan is built entirely around your lab findings, your specific type of neuropathy, and your daily life — creating sustainable habits that actively support nerve healing and prevent further damage.
Beyond nutrition, we address sleep quality, stress regulation, and movement — because lasting relief from neuropathy requires treating the whole person and every root cause driving your condition, not just the painful symptoms.
Conditions we treat:
Diabetic Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy
Chemotherapy-induce neuropathy
Idiopathic neuropathy (unknown cause)
Trigeminal neuralgia
Foot drop
Post-stroke recovery
Bell’s Palsy
Neuropathy from toxin exposure
Neuropathy from trauma or surgery
Balance & coordination disorders related to neuropathy
Anxiety, ADHD & Stress
Anxiety, chronic stress, and attention disorders are among the most common conditions we see — and among the most undertreated. Most patients have been offered medication as their only option, often without investigating why their nervous system is dysregulated in the first place. At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we go much deeper.
As a Florida-licensed Acupuncture Physician and integrative primary care provider, we investigate the root biological causes behind anxiety, stress, and focus issues — in both adults and children. We really understand that parents are increasingly looking for safe, natural, and effective alternatives to stimulant medications for their children with ADHD and anxiety.
Our integrative approach addresses the whole person — gut health, nutrition, neurotransmitter balance, and nervous system regulation — creating a personalized plan that supports focus, calm, and emotional wellbeing without dependency or side effects.
-
Acupuncture calms the nervous system, regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and has been shown in clinical research to reduce cortisol levels, improve focus, and significantly decrease anxiety — without the side effects of medication. It is safe, gentle, and well-tolerated by children and adults alike. Chinese herbal medicine adds another powerful layer of support. Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend a classic time-tested herbal formula known for its effectiveness in calming the nervous system and supporting focus, or design a completely custom blend based on your complete health picture — your symptoms, your underlying imbalances, your constitution, and your lab findings — all part of identifying your root cause. Whether classic or custom, every formula is personalized to you, combining Eastern medicine wisdom with modern clinical insight to treat the root cause — not just mask the symptom.
-
Most conventional approaches to anxiety, ADHD, and stress never investigate what is happening at a biological level — leaving patients with prescriptions that mask the symptom rather than answers that address the root cause.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we use comprehensive lab testing to identify exactly what is driving your symptoms.
We investigate your nervous system function, stress hormone patterns, nutritional status, and gut-brain connection — because anxiety, poor focus, and chronic stress are rarely caused by a single factor. Every panel is selected specifically for you based on your symptoms, your health history, and your goals.
This is the difference between treating you and treating your condition. -
Based on your lab results, we design a personalized supplement protocol to restore what your body and brain are missing. No guessing, no generic formulas — every recommendation is guided by your specific lab findings. Deficiencies in key minerals essential for nervous system regulation and sleep quality, specific amino acids that promote calm focus without sedation, specific vitamins critical for neurotransmitter synthesis and mood regulation, essential fatty acids foundational for brain health and emotional regulation, targeted probiotics supporting the gut-brain axis, and adaptogenic herbs for adrenal support and stress resilience — all identified through your labs and prescribed specifically for you.
-
What you eat directly affects how your brain functions. Blood sugar swings, processed foods, artificial additives, and nutritional gaps all contribute to anxiety, poor focus, and emotional dysregulation — especially in children. We create a personalized nutrition plan that stabilizes blood sugar, reduces neuroinflammation, and supports neurotransmitter production. Beyond food, we address the lifestyle factors that drive anxiety and attention issues — sleep quality, screen time, stress management techniques, and nervous system regulation practices. For families, we make these recommendations practical, realistic, and sustainable for everyday life.
Conditions we treat:
General Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Panic Attacks & Panic Disorder
Social Anxiety
ADHD & ADD - children & adults
Chronic Stress & Burnout
Adrenal Fatigue
Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Emotional Dysregulation
Anxiety related to Thyroid Dysfunction
School performance & focus issues in children & adults
Performance & work-related anxiety
Integrative support for children & adolescents with ADHD & Anxiety
Insomnia
Quality sleep is not a luxury — it is the foundation of every system in your body. Chronic insomnia disrupts hormones, weakens the immune system, accelerates aging, impairs cognitive function, and increases the risk of serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and depression. Yet most patients are offered only sleep medications that mask the symptom without ever investigating the cause — or they turn to over-the-counter remedies like melatonin or magnesium, not knowing whether their body actually needs them, in what form, or at what dose.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we treat insomnia as the complex, multi-layered condition it truly is. Whether your sleeplessness is driven by hormonal imbalances, adrenal dysfunction, chronic pain, anxiety, nutritional deficiencies, or blood sugar dysregulation — we find the root cause and create a personalized plan to restore deep, restorative sleep naturally.

Most conventional approaches to insomnia never investigate what is happening at a biological level — leaving patients with sleep medications that mask the symptom rather than answers that address the root cause.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we use comprehensive lab testing to identify exactly what is driving your sleeplessness. We investigate your sleep hormone production, cortisol rhythm, thyroid health, nutritional status, and blood sugar regulation — because chronic insomnia is rarely caused by a single factor. Every panel is selected specifically for you based on your symptoms, your health history, and your goals.
This is the difference between treating you and treating your condition. -
Once your labs identify the specific drivers of your insomnia, we create a personalized supplement protocol designed to restore your natural sleep rhythm. Every recommendation is based on your results — not a generic sleep formula from a supplement store.
Depending on your findings, your protocol may address key minerals essential for nervous system calm and muscle relaxation, specific amino acids that support your body's natural sleep hormone production, vitamins critical for stress response and sleep regulation, adaptogenic herbs that normalize cortisol rhythm and promote restorative sleep, and targeted probiotics supporting the gut-brain connection that influences sleep quality.
All prescribed specifically for you, in the right forms and doses based on your labs. -
What you eat, when you eat, and how you live in the hours before bed profoundly affects your sleep. Blood sugar instability, caffeine metabolism, alcohol, inflammatory foods, and nutritional gaps all disrupt sleep architecture in ways most patients don't realize.
We create a personalized nutrition plan that stabilizes blood sugar throughout the day and evening, reduces inflammation, and supports your body's natural sleep hormone production. Beyond nutrition, we address the lifestyle and environmental factors that sabotage sleep — light exposure, screen habits, stress patterns, sleep hygiene, and nervous system regulation practices that prepare your body for deep, restorative rest.
This is not generic advice — every recommendation is specific to your labs, your patterns, and your life.
Conditions we treat:
Difficulty falling asleep
Frequent nighttime waking
Early morning awakening
Non-restorative sleep
Insomnia related to anxiety or depression
Insomnia related to menopause or hormonal changes
Insomnia related to chronic pain
Insomnia related to chemotherapy or medications
Cortisol dysregulation and adrenal fatigue
Sleep disorders without a clear diagnosis
Depression & PTSD
Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are among the most complex and deeply personal conditions we treat. Millions of Americans live with depression and PTSD — and many find that conventional treatments alone are not enough, or come with side effects that affect their quality of life. What is rarely discussed is that depression and PTSD are not simply emotional or psychological conditions — they have measurable biological root causes that can be identified, addressed, and treated.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we take a comprehensive integrative approach to depression and PTSD — investigating the hormonal, nutritional, inflammatory, and neurological root causes driving your symptoms, while supporting your healing through acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, targeted supplement protocols, and personalized nutrition.
-
Acupuncture is widely recognized as an effective treatment for both depression and PTSD. By stimulating specific points that regulate the nervous system, acupuncture influences the production of serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins — the brain's natural mood-regulating chemicals. It calms the hypervigilant nervous system response common in PTSD, reduces emotional reactivity, improves sleep, and restores a sense of calm and groundedness that medications alone often cannot achieve.
Chinese herbal medicine adds a personalized and powerful layer of support. Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend a classic time-tested herbal formula known for its effectiveness in supporting emotional wellbeing, or design a completely custom blend based on your complete health picture — your symptoms, your underlying imbalances, your constitution, and your lab findings — all part of identifying your root cause.
Whether classic or custom, every formula is personalized to you, combining Eastern medicine wisdom with modern clinical insight to treat the root cause — not just mask the symptom. -
Depression and PTSD are rarely caused by a single factor — and treating them effectively requires understanding what is happening in your body at a biological level.
When we identify and address the root causes driving your symptoms, the results are far more lasting than symptom management alone. Testing may include:
- Neurotransmitter panel — measuring serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and other key brain chemicals that directly regulate mood, motivation, and emotional resilience
- Cortisol rhythm panel — chronic stress and trauma dysregulate cortisol patterns profoundly, contributing to both depression and the hypervigilance of PTSD
- Thyroid panel — hypothyroidism and thyroid dysfunction are among the most common and overlooked biological root causes of depression
- Sex hormone panel — estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone imbalances significantly affect mood, motivation, and emotional stability
- Nutrient deficiency panel — specific vitamins and minerals essential for neurotransmitter production and brain function are frequently depleted in patients with depression and PTSD
- Inflammatory markers — emerging research confirms that chronic inflammation is a direct root cause of depression, not just a side effect
- Gut microbiome panel — the gut produces the majority of the body's serotonin; gut dysbiosis is a significant and often missed root cause of depression and mood disorders -
Once your labs reveal the specific biological root causes driving your depression or PTSD symptoms, we design a completely personalized supplement protocol — not a generic mood support formula, but a precise, lab-guided plan addressing exactly what your body and brain need to heal.
Depending on your findings, your protocol may address key minerals essential for neurotransmitter production and nervous system regulation, specific vitamins critical for mood, brain function, and stress resilience, amino acids that support your body's natural production of mood-regulating chemicals, essential fatty acids foundational for brain health and emotional regulation, targeted probiotics to restore the gut-brain axis and support serotonin production, and adaptogenic herbs that help regulate the stress response and support emotional resilience.
Every recommendation is guided by your labs — personalized to your root cause, not a generic protocol. -
The connection between what we eat and how we feel is profound — and in depression and PTSD, it is often the missing piece.
Chronic inflammation driven by diet, blood sugar instability, nutritional deficiencies, and poor gut health all directly contribute to the biological root causes of depression and PTSD.
We do not believe in restrictive diets — we believe in a lifestyle that naturally reduces neuroinflammation, nourishes your brain, and supports your body's natural ability to heal.
Your personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan is built entirely around your lab findings, your specific symptoms, and your daily life. For every patient we understand that recovery is not linear. Your plan must be as individual as your story.

Women’s & Men’s Health
Men and women each face unique health challenges that are deeply connected to their hormonal health, reproductive system, and the natural changes that come with each stage of life. While many of these conditions are normalized or undertreated in conventional medicine, at Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health we take them seriously — investigating the root cause and creating a personalized integrative plan that addresses your specific needs.
Hormonal health is at the center of almost every condition we treat in this category. Whether you are navigating the hormonal shifts of your reproductive years, the transitions of perimenopause or andropause, or the long-term effects of chronic stress on your hormonal system — we investigate the root cause through comprehensive lab testing interpreted at optimal ranges, not just standard reference ranges.
For women, this means addressing the full hormonal picture — from menstrual health and reproductive wellness to menopausal transitions and postpartum recovery. For men, it means looking beyond surface symptoms to evaluate testosterone levels, cardiovascular health, prostate wellness, and the hormonal changes that naturally occur with age — all of which respond remarkably well to an integrative approach.
We combine acupuncture, personalized nutrition, targeted supplement protocols, and Chinese herbal medicine to identify and treat the root cause of your specific condition. Every plan is personalized to you, your stage of life, and your unique health picture — because men and women deserve care that goes beyond a one-size-fits-all approach.
You do not have to accept that these conditions are simply part of aging or that medication is your only option. We have seen remarkable results when men's and women's health is treated with the depth, personalization, and integrative care it deserves — supporting your body's natural ability to heal and thrive at every stage of life.

Hormonal Imbalances
Hormones regulate nearly every function in your body — energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, weight, cognition, and reproductive health. When they fall out of balance, the effects are felt everywhere, often in ways that are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or masked with medication rather than investigated for their root cause. Many patients spend years feeling exhausted, foggy, anxious, or simply "off" — only to be told their labs are "normal."
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we use lab testing to identify hormonal imbalances at their root cause — going beyond standard reference ranges to evaluate where your hormones should optimally be for you to feel your best. Then we create a completely personalized plan to restore balance naturally.
-
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to regulate hormonal health — and modern research continues to validate what Eastern medicine has always known. Acupuncture influences the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axes — the master regulatory systems that control your hormonal balance. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, reduce menopausal symptoms, support thyroid function, improve adrenal health, and restore the hormonal rhythm your body was designed to maintain.
Chinese herbal medicine adds a deep and personalized layer of hormonal support. Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend a classic time-tested herbal formula known for its effectiveness in hormonal regulation, or design a completely custom blend based on your complete health picture — your symptoms, your underlying imbalances, your constitution, and your lab findings — all part of identifying your root cause. Whether classic or custom, every formula is personalized to you, combining Eastern medicine wisdom with modern clinical insight to treat the root cause — not just mask the symptom. -
Most conventional approaches to hormonal imbalances never investigate the complete picture — leaving patients with results labeled "normal" that mask the symptom rather than answers that address the root cause.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we use comprehensive lab testing to identify exactly what is driving your imbalance. We investigate your complete hormonal picture, adrenal function, thyroid health, metabolic markers, and nutritional status — because hormonal imbalances are rarely caused by a single factor. Every panel is selected specifically for you based on your symptoms, your health history, and your goals.
This is the difference between treating you and treating your condition. -
Restoring hormonal balance naturally requires giving your body the precise building blocks it needs — identified through your labs, not guessed from a generic hormone support formula.
Every supplement protocol we design is completely personalized to your root cause and your lab findings. Depending on your results, your protocol may address key minerals essential for hormone production and thyroid function, specific vitamins critical for estrogen metabolism and adrenal support, amino acids that support your body's natural hormone synthesis and stress resilience, essential fatty acids foundational for hormonal signaling and cellular health, targeted probiotics supporting estrogen metabolism through the gut, and adaptogenic herbs with a long history of effectively supporting hormonal balance and adrenal health.
All prescribed specifically for you — guided by your labs, your symptoms, and your root cause. -
What you eat directly affects how your body produces, metabolizes, and eliminates hormones. Inflammatory foods, blood sugar instability, nutritional deficiencies, and poor gut health all disrupt hormonal balance at the root cause level.
We create a personalized nutrition plan designed specifically for your hormonal profile — supporting healthy estrogen metabolism, stabilizing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and nourishing the systems your hormones depend on. Beyond nutrition, hormonal balance is profoundly affected by sleep quality, stress levels, movement, and environmental exposures.
We address all of these factors with practical, personalized lifestyle recommendations — because lasting hormonal health requires treating the whole person, not just the lab numbers.
Our goal is not to manage your hormonal imbalance indefinitely — it is to restore your body's natural ability to maintain balance on its own.
Conditions we treat:
Thyroid disorders — Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's, Graves' Disease
Adrenal fatigue & cortisol dysregulation

Chemotherapy Side Effects
Chemotherapy treatments can produce side effects that range from mild to severe — significantly affecting quality of life and sometimes making it difficult to stay on schedule with treatments.
Every person responds differently, and finding natural, effective ways to manage these side effects is not just about comfort — it is about giving your body the best possible environment to heal and recover.
Recognized by the National Cancer Institute as an effective natural approach to relieving a wide range of chemotherapy and radiation side effects, acupuncture is a powerful complementary treatment that supports your body during this process.
Combined with Chinese herbal medicine, targeted supplement protocols, and personalized nutrition, we create a complete integrative support plan designed to help you feel better, maintain your strength, and support your body's natural healing capacity throughout treatment and beyond.

Weight Management
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we do not believe in diets — we believe in a lifestyle. Diets are temporary, restrictive, and disconnected from how your body actually works. True, lasting weight management is the natural result of a body that is functioning optimally — hormonally balanced, metabolically efficient, nutritionally nourished, and free of chronic inflammation. When we address the root causes keeping your body from that state, your weight follows.
Your nutrition and lifestyle plan is built entirely around your lab findings, your metabolic profile, your hormonal picture, your lifestyle, and your food preferences — creating sustainable habits that you can maintain for life, not a program you abandon after 30 days.
Beyond nutrition, we address sleep quality, stress regulation, movement patterns, and the emotional relationship with food — all of which have measurable biological effects on weight.
Our goal is your optimal weight — a number on the scale that feels right for you, in a body that functions optimally, feels energized, and maintains that weight with ease, for life.
-
Acupuncture supports weight management by addressing the biological and emotional root causes that make weight loss difficult. It regulates appetite and hunger hormones, improves metabolic function, reduces chronic inflammation, supports thyroid and adrenal health, and calms the stress response that drives cortisol-related weight gain — particularly around the abdomen. It also addresses the emotional and stress-related patterns that contribute to emotional eating and food cravings.
Chinese herbal medicine adds a personalized and powerful layer of support. Depending on your specific needs, we may recommend a classic time-tested herbal formula known for its effectiveness in supporting healthy metabolism and digestion, or design a completely custom blend based on your complete health picture — your symptoms, your underlying imbalances, your constitution, and your lab findings — all part of identifying your root cause. Whether classic or custom, every formula is personalized to you, combining Eastern medicine wisdom with modern clinical insight to treat the root cause — not just mask the symptom. -
Most conventional approaches to weight management never investigate what is happening at a biological level — leaving patients with generic diet plans that mask the symptom rather than answers that address the root cause.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, we use comprehensive lab testing to identify exactly what is driving your weight challenges. We investigate your metabolic function, hormonal balance, thyroid health, inflammatory markers, blood sugar regulation, and nutritional status — because difficulty managing weight is rarely caused by a single factor.
Every panel is selected specifically for you based on your symptoms, your health history, and your goals. This is the difference between treating you and treating your condition. -
Once your labs identify the specific biological root causes driving your weight challenges, we design a completely personalized supplement protocol — not a generic weight loss formula, but a precise, lab-guided plan addressing exactly what your body needs to restore optimal metabolic function.
Depending on your findings, your protocol may address key minerals essential for thyroid function and metabolic health, specific vitamins critical for energy production and fat metabolism, amino acids that support healthy blood sugar regulation and appetite control, essential fatty acids foundational for hormonal balance and reducing inflammation, targeted probiotics to restore gut health and support healthy metabolism, and adaptogenic herbs that help regulate cortisol and support adrenal function. All prescribed specifically for you — guided by your labs, your symptoms, and your root cause. -
There is no single diet that works for every body — and the evidence is clear that restrictive, one-size-fits-all approaches fail long term.
At Díaz Acupuncture & Integrative Health, your nutrition plan is built entirely around your lab findings, your metabolic type, your hormonal profile, your lifestyle, and your food preferences. We focus on nourishing your body at a cellular level — stabilizing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, supporting gut health, and creating sustainable eating habits that you can maintain for life. Beyond nutrition, lasting weight management requires addressing sleep quality, stress regulation, movement patterns, and the emotional relationship with food — all of which have measurable biological effects on weight. We create a complete, realistic lifestyle plan that fits your life — not a temporary program, but a permanent shift toward optimal health and your best weight.
Our goal is not a number on a scale — it is a body that functions optimally, feels energized, and maintains its natural healthy weight with ease.
Conditions we treat:
Difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise
Weight gain related to hormonal imbalances
Thyroid-related weight challenges
Cortisol and stress-related weight gain
Metabolic syndrome & insulin resistance
