Thorough evaluation is accomplished through diagnostic laboratory studies including genetic testing for MTHFR polymorphism, imaging (if indicated), specialty laboratory testing and clinical assessments. A musculo-skeletal/structural assessment with our chiropractor, Dr. Mark Stagg who is also certified in acupuncture determines whether misalignments in the spine and pelvis may be contributing.

Patient Success Story
“I first went to Whole Health, LLC. December of 2013. It had been 5 months since my last period, and the gynecologist I had been seeing only wanted to put me back on birth control or induce a period every 3 months. I was diagnosed with PCOS, but I wanted to have an alternative to the artificial hormone treatment, and hoped Dr. Jen could provide me with this. After 7 months of herbal supplements and liver detoxes, I finally regained my period. While this process took slightly longer, my body feels absolutely incredible, and I am so happy that I chose this route. Dr. Jen is insanely supportive throughout this process, being accessible through e-mail or phone consultation, and I trust her whole-heartedly with all of my health care decisions. I know that there is a way to combat my PCOS with drug therapy and hormones, but with Dr. Jen’s help, I was able to let my body do it on my own. I have had 3 consecutive periods thus far, and could not be happier!”
