Throughout the aging process, the body’s natural hormone production declines. Optimizing hormone levels allows both men and women to regain their energy and vitality, with treatments tailored to the needs of each patient. Dr. Tiffany provides individualized, integrative care to help each patient resolve their unique hormonal imbalances.

Declining hormone levels can cause a myriad of symptoms in both men and women. As both men and women age, their natural hormone production declines. This is known as menopause or peri-menopause in women, and andropause in men. Dr. Tiffany uses cutting-edge, evidence-based diagnostic testing and treatments to optimize patients’ hormone levels. Common treatment options include bio-identical hormone replacement therapies like BioTE® pellet therapy, customized compounded medications, and integrative nutritional approaches for boosting and balancing hormones, creating an individualized approach. There is no one size fits all plan to providing optimal hormone care. 

Microbiome health plays a crucial role in the body’s overall functioning. From conditions like Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis to SIBO and IBS, Dr. Tiffany has extensive experience helping patients alleviate their symptoms while addressing and healing the root cause of each condition, so they can return to feeling their best.

The “gut” or microbiome is considered to be the “center of the universe” in the body. An ever-growing amount of research validates the importance of the gut microbiome in proper immune system functioning, neurotransmitter and cognitive health, chronic inflammation, and many other body systems.

Dr. Tiffany works with her patients to identify the root cause of symptoms, blending specialty testing and diagnostic skills with evidence-based treatments and natural therapeutics.

In a country that has some of the worst chronic disease and metabolic dysfunction, to include obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, Dr. Tiffany thinks it is imperative to know your biomarkers now to initiate proper prevention tools and lifestyle changes to optimize your individual physiology. Dr. Tiffany believes it is important that you know your data, so you can watch your metabolic trends over time. This may include wearables to help monitor those trends as needed. 

There is no “one size fits all” to nutrition or weight loss. Weight loss is a complex physiologic process; if hidden sources of inflammation and metabolic dysfunction exist, the body will secrete stress hormones and make weight loss incredibly difficult. Dr. Tiffany offer’s weight loss programs that can be customized to your specific weight loss goals. In order to achieve long-term and sustained weight loss, a multi-system approach is necessary. Dr. Tiffany believes in balancing your body’s internal chemistry and hormones so that weight loss is a natural result. Optimized nutrition, movement, and stress reduction are primary to achieving a healthy weight and also affect underlying conditions like hypothyroidism or cortisol dysregulation that could be part of the impedance on achieving your goal. By assessing thyroid hormones, stress hormones, sex hormones, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies and more, Dr. Tiffany will get a bigger picture of what is going on in your body so it can be rectified. By looking at the whole picture and addressing underlying causes one has the best chance of long-lasting success.

Identification and treatment of food sensitivities is one aspect of Dr. Tiffany’s functional nutrition approach. This allows for a multi-system approach to “food as medicine” that interconnects every part of the body. Dr. Tiffany incorporates identifying and addressing food sensitivities, so she can help patients to alleviate unwanted symptoms and provide recommendations to consume food that helps them feel & function their best, often working on creating gut microbiome integrity at the same time. 

Food allergies and food sensitivities are abnormal responses to a food component triggered by the immune system in the form of immunoglobulins (IgE, IgG, IgA), representing either an immediate or delayed response. By collecting this data, Dr. Tiffany creates an anti-inflammatory diet based on a patient’s specific immune response, to aid in identifying root causes and resolution of patient symptoms.

Autoimmune disorders represent some of today’s most rising prevalence of disease. These conditions impede on proper immune system function, and work against the body by attacking healthy cells, resulting in depleting quality of life. Symptoms often include chronic fatigue, brain fog, abnormal weight gain, joint or muscle pain, and other inflammatory responses. They’re the second most common cause of chronic illness in America. Dr. Tiffany can help pinpoint your condition and improve your quality of life through integrative and evidence-based approaches, including nutritional assessments, specialty testing, nutraceuticals, medications, peptide therapies, and more.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin mushrooms, colloquially called "magic mushrooms" or "shrooms". These mushrooms have been used since ancient times for medicinal and spiritual purposes. In current times, psilocybin has been found to be effective for people with a number of mental health concerns. Psilocybin has been shown to accelerate the healing process in many people with distressing emotional symptoms, such as depression, addiction, OCD, and anxiety. Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy combines the therapeutic effects of psilocybin with the support of an experienced and trusted therapist or other trained professional. The psychotherapy component of psilocybin treatment allows the client to process what is gained through the psilocybin experience with the therapist, supporting integration of these insights for lasting symptom relief. Additionally, Psilocybin has been shown to increase neuroplasticity in the brain, while also inducing sustained changes in adaptive brain wiring and cognition.

Our past and current life experiences and the meaning we make from them can give rise to negative and overwhelming psychological, emotional, and physical symptoms. Factors such as trauma, loss, and other negative life experiences can shape our perception of ourselves and the world, including how we react and respond to life's challenges and our ability to navigate our emotions. These perceptions can become habitual patterns and cycles that contribute to suffering. Psilocybin can help patients break out of these patterns and reconnect with a sense of purpose, passion, and creativity in life.

Dr. Tiffany has partnered and endorsed Flow Life Retreat to facilitate these journey experiences.
