Supplements and Botanicals
Holistic approach instead of quick fixes
Healthy aging starts by supporting the body from within. In addition to acupuncture, I offer clinically selected Chinese herbal formulas, professional-grade nutritional supplements, and professional skincare products that complement your personalized wellness plan and help you achieve your health goals.
Nutritional Supplementation Therapy and Chinese Herbalism take a whole-person approach — one that considers your mental, physical, and spiritual health together. I work with you not just on isolated symptoms, but on your nutrition, fitness or weight loss goals, and mindset as an interconnected whole. This ensures that what you receive is truly tailored to what your body needs right now.
The Gentle Power of Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbal remedies are 100% natural and work gently with the body, unlike pharmaceutical drugs. They typically come with far fewer unpleasant side effects, making them a supportive, sustainable option for long-term health.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all, every recommendation is tailored to your individual needs and may include trusted Chinese herbal formulas, foundational nutritional supplements when needed, protein, collagen, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and other targeted products to support healthy aging, muscle strength, energy, skin health, hormone balance, recovery, and overall wellness. I also offer professional skincare products, including oil cleansers, toners, serums, and other treatments that nourish and protect your skin.

Why I Recommend What I Recommend
There is a difference between a supplement recommendation and a supplement advertisement. Most of what you see online is the second one dressed up as the first.
The influencer model is simple: get paid per bottle moved, sound certain, and never mention the person on the other side of the screen. It rewards confidence over accuracy, and it can't account for YOUR labs, your medications, your gut, or your stage of life. Nobody in that chain is responsible for what happens in your body. I am.
So here is how I choose.
GMP. Good Manufacturing Practices: the federal standards for how a supplement must actually be made. Verified ingredient identity, confirmed potency, documented batches. Without GMP, the number on the label is a suggestion. With it, it's tested.
NSF: An independent, third-party organization that audits facilities and registers the ones meeting those standards. Independent is the whole point. Nobody is grading their own homework.
Form. A bottle can say "magnesium" or "folate" and still be a version your body struggles to use. Bioavailability and actual dose are the difference between a supplement that works and an expensive habit.
Ownership: My primary line is HummingbirdX, made by a privately held, family-owned manufacturer with over 32 years behind it — not a brand bought up by a private equity firm.When investors own the formulas, the pressure runs one direction: cheaper raw materials, thinner doses, bigger margins. My other line is PANAXEA, high quality Chinese, Ayurvedic and Western Herbs along with botanical isolates. Panaxea botanicals are of a standard that meets pharmaceutical standards, and not only food grade.
And plainly: I sell these products. Which is exactly why the next part is a hard rule.
Supplements fill gaps. They don't replace the foundation.
They sit at pillar two for a reason: behind sleep, food, movement, breath, and the treatment table. I'd rather you take three things that are actually doing something than twelve that are decorating your counter.
Bring me your bottles. All of them. If something is redundant, underdosed, or doing nothing, I'll tell you. Even when I carry an alternative. That's the whole job.
My goal is to help you build vibrant health, radiant skin, a strong body, and lasting vitality so you can look, feel, and perform your best at every stage of life.
