Join us at Metta Mamma on Sunday
October 27, for a panel discussion about hormone health during perimenopause and menopause. Panel speakers will include four medical professionals who specialize in women's hormone health. Our panelists include:
As a holistic medicine physician, Dr. Chan believes that compassion, presence, and grace are crucial healing forces along with intelligently applied clinical knowledge.
Dr. Chan received her osteopathic medical degree from Ohio University and completed her Family Practice Residency in 1997. She later became board certified in integrative holistic medicine. Dr. Chan was drawn to Osteopathic Medicine because of its holistic and individualized approach.
Dr. Chan believes that health means more than the absence of dis-ease. Optimal health includes operating out of the highest expression of our soul’s purpose. She uses functional lab testing that looks at the body’s genetics, overall toxic burden, nutrient status, gut and brain inflammation, brain chemistry, food allergies, hormone levels, and stealth infections such as mold, parasites, viruses, and tickborne infections. Dr. Chan also addresses more subtle energies affecting our health, such as wi-fi and emotional or psychic stressors. Dr. Chan uses a wide array of treatment modalities, including the energetics of the body’s biofield, medical intuition, orthomolecular substances, herbal tinctures, German homeopathic remedies for increasing organ functionality, IV nutrient therapy, IV ozone therapy, as well as hands-on osteopathic cranio-sacral therapy and energy balancing.
Dr. Chan is certified by the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and is a member of the American Osteopathic Association and the American Academy of Osteopathy. She has presented on a panel for Dr. Oz and completed a research study at the Institute of Frontier Science on the Biofield. She is currently serving as a core faculty member at the Academy of Intuition Medicine.
