y truly impact overall health and hormones for men and women, and once the body has the right nourishment, it truly can heal itself. She employs therapies such as Chinese Medicine, Functional Medicine and Nutrition Therapy to enhance the quality of life of others using the least invasive and most effective treatments. She utilizes food as medicine in her practice as well as whole food supplementation. As an advocate of Integrative Medicine, Carissa finds that her best results come from evaluating patient lab tests from a Functional Medicine perspective and treating each individual with Acupuncture, Diet and Lifestyle modifications.
