Acupuncture in my Hilo office, paired with a 6-Month Functional Medicine Foundational Reset coaching online
Your body is asking to be understood. As a whole.
Fatigue that won't lift. Digestion that's stopped cooperating. Hormones that feel out of sync. Pain that keeps returning no matter what you try. These aren't separate problems. They're connected signals from one system asking for a deeper kind of attention.
This program is two services, offered together: hands-on acupuncture care in my Hilo office, and six months of structured functional medicine coaching online. Different work, same direction. It blends the precision of hands-on acupuncture with the depth of functional medicine, so you're not just managing symptoms but rebuilding the foundation underneath them.
I want you to know exactly what you're getting, because these are genuinely two different things and the difference matters.
In my Hilo office: acupuncture.
Provided by Kim Gitzel, L.Ac., This is hands-on individual clinical care.
Online: functional medicine lifestyle/wellness coaching.
Education and strategy: nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and supplement guidance built around what your labs and your history are showing. Coaching is not medical care, and it doesn't replace your physician.
You can do either one on its own. Most women on the Big Island want both, so I've made it easy to schedule them together.

Beyond Quick Fixes and Generic Protocols
Most approaches treat each complaint in isolation: a supplement for energy, a stretch for the pain, a diet for the weight.
But your body doesn't work in isolated parts. Your gut, hormones, nervous system, and metabolism are all speaking the same language. When we listen to the whole system, real change becomes possible.
Over six months, we pair 12 in-person acupuncture visits with a structured online functional medicine coaching framework, so you can understand what's driving how you feel, and build a body that works WITH you again.

One integrated path
This isn't symptom-chasing.
It's six months of two kinds of work running alongside each other: the immediate, tangible relief of acupuncture, and the slower investigative work of understanding your own physiology.
So you don't just leave feeling better.
You leave knowing WHY.
Whether you're navigating low energy, stubborn weight, digestive issues, ongoing pain, or a general sense that something's off, this meets you where you are.
Results
"A little more than a year ago my digestive system was a wreck, energy was low, and brain fog was becoming a norm. I had been diagnosed with diverticulitis 5 years ago and menopause was creeping in. With Kim’s guidance, I’ve shed over 15 pounds and cleaned up my gut, started working out, & have a lot more energy. Even my skin is showing signs of gaining back its vibrance. My diet and sleep habits have also changed for the better. I finally put me FIRST and did not want to go down the same health path as my mom who died from cancer complications. If you want to change your health path, give Kim a chance to help you. My health journey continues with Kim’s guidance to shed another 30 pounds through diet, exercise, and a healthier lifestyle.” - K. A., 55 years
