Aging & Longevity

Today the average life span is around 80 years old. Due to medical advances, 50 year olds can expect to see 95 and beyond. Every individual needs to find the best way to live an active and productive life as they age. Dr. Cohen offers options to assess your present condition and determine which protocols will best support your longevity. She evaluates your neurotransmitters, hormones, exercise, diet and supplements. Patients are supported in building a state of health resulting in the best quality of life. See andropause, arthritis, bioidential hormone, bones & joints, memory loss, menopause, osteopenia/osteoporosis, sleep disorders.

Allergies & Asthma

Asthma and allergies are frequently viewed as interconnected. Allergies are a reaction of the immune system resulting in the attack of innocuous substances. These attacks can be minimal to extreme resulting in mild discomfort to total organ failure. See asthma, food allergies, general allergies.

Autoimmune Diseases

Your immune system is responsible for maintaining your level of health and immunity to disease. Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. The immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks it. Depending on the type of autoimmune disease, various parts of the body can be affected (eyes, throat, thyroid, lungs, stomach, ovaries, joints, heart, skin, brain and more). There are over 50 generalized autoimmune symptoms or related condition considered to be the result of autoimmune dysfunction affecting more than 23.5 million. See hypothyroid, Multiple Sclerosis

Cardiovascular Health

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. Some CVD conditions, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, have no obvious symptoms. The American Heart Association estimates that over 80 million people in the United States have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease. See atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, hypertension, mitral valve prolapse, peripheral vascular disease

Digestion/Gastrointestinal

Millions of people suffer from digestive issues. Digestion is an intricate process that can be disrupted by disease, diet, and emotional stress. See celiac, Crohn's, food allergies, gastrointestinal issues, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, yeast syndrome/candida.

Endocrine/Glandular

The endocrine/glandular system is a collection of glands that produces chemicals to regulate, coordinate and control body processes. The chemicals are produced by glands and a few organs. Some of these chemical or hormone producers are the hypothalamus, pituitary, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, adrenal glands, ovaries, testes and pineal gland. Endocrine glands produce hormones that are carried though the blood stream to targeted areas. There are over 30 hormones that initiate or regulate processes like sleep, ovulation, puberty, emergency situations and many more. See adrenal, andropause, erectile dysfunction, fertility disorders, hormone imbalance, hypothyroid, irregular menses, menopause, obesity, osteopenia/osteoporosis, PMS, polycystic ovaries, thyroid.

Fatigue

Fatigue is physical and/or mental exhaustion that can be triggered by stress, medication, overwork, or mental and physical illness or disease. See adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue.

Mens' Health

In our changing world it is difficult to maintain a healthy life style. Men have their own distinct set of medical issues, work place stress and nutrition concerns. Traditional medicine has had a narrow focus. Today’s man requires a more integrative approach. See andropause, erectile dysfunction, impotence.

Musculoskeletal

The musculoskeletal system consists of the body's bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and connective tissue – protein substance of elastic fibers and collagen. The musculoskeletal system provides form, stability, and movement. See arthritis, back pain, bones & joints, fibromyalgia, osteopenia.

Nervous System/Neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters are chemicals which transmit signals in the brain. Common neurotransmitters include: melatonin, dopamine, serotonin and endorphin. Lack of neurotransmitters can cause conditions like anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, stress and migraines or diseases like Parkinson’s disease and Schizophrenia. See anxiety, depression, herpes, memory loss, migraines, shingles, sleep disorders, stress.

Nutrition

Proper nutrition is critical in the prevention of disease and maintenance of optimal health. Six categories of nutrients that the body needs to acquire from food are: protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibers, vitamins and minerals. See candida, diabetes, nutritional deficiences, obesity, weight gain, weight loss, yeast syndrome/candida.

Toxicity

Toxicity refers to the adverse effects of chemical, physical or biological agents found in foods, vitamins, medications, and the environment. See detoxification, heavy metal

Women's Health

In our changing world it is difficult to maintain a healthy life style. Women have their own distinct set of medical issues, work place stress and nutrition concerns. Traditional medicine has had a narrow focus. Today’s woman requires a more integrative approach.
