Today I’m talking with Susana Puelles, LAc – an expert in women’s health and gastrointestinal disorders. I’m grateful to have her on the Oasis Healing Arts team. Dr. Jamie: Good morning, Susana. Thanks for taking the time to do this interview. I’m sure many women will benefit from learning about how to treat their fibroids, cysts, and endometriosis. Dr. Susana: …
I think this blog is a long time coming. There are so many reports and documentaries, so much information, so many “facts” and “truths” being presented, all backed by their set of scientific research, with so many differing messages about what is healthy and unhealthy to eat, that it’s all getting pretty muddy. If scientists and experts and physicians and …
Treat the root, not the branches. That’s a given with quality healthcare. At least, it should be. Treat the cause, not just cover up symptoms. Yes, it’s important to provide symptomatic relief – people grow weary with chronic pain and discomfort, and there is great value in alleviating symptom. People need to be functional. But if you step on a …
I love and respect Dr. Carol Lee, my colleague and fellow practitioner here at Oasis Healing Arts, for so many reasons. She is authentic, compassionate, highly educated in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and full of expert insight into acupuncture and herbal medicine. I will often consult Dr. Lee for confirmation on acupuncture point protocols when determining treatment plans for my acupuncture …
In my 20+ years of living in southern California, this winter has been the least, shall I say, “fun.” Perhaps it was the flu that hit my whole family like dominoes over the Christmas break, or the non-stop busy holiday season that’s just kept revving through January, or the recent series of storms and gray skies. Likely, it’s my island roots …
Over the years, I’ve heard many patients express to me their confusion and overwhelm when going to the store to buy nutritional supplements. There are hundreds of thousands of supplements in the public market, each touting their unique health benefits. Not only are there multitudes of products to choose from, but just one supplement can have multiple variations and forms. …
I am of the generation that has seen the birth and rapid maturity of the internet. I was always a couple of years behind my peers with the latest tech… getting a discman, a beeper, a digital camera, a cell phone. It wasn’t until after I finished grad school in 2001 that I actually purchased my own laptop. But now, …
Some of us play it tough. We are work horses, but we won’t let you see us sweat. We’ve got a heavy dose of pride pushing us, and a whole lot of passion – for our children, for our work, for healthful living, for all the people who depend on us. So we zip our lips, cover up any of our struggles, …
“My hormones are out of wack!" “I just feel off.” “I don’t feel like myself.” "I’m so irritable lately." “I feel like I’m going crazy!” Does any of this sound familiar to you? Maybe you’ve complained of hormonal issues yourself, or perhaps your daughter or your co-workers are struggling with fluctuating hormones. Hormone imbalance is an extremely common issue amongst women, both young …
I recall Oprah once talking about a very difficult time in her life, when she was battling it out with the meat industry in court over a comment she had made on her talk show, and she was feeling extremely overwhelmed and heavy with the stress of the lawsuit and all the demands of her very busy life. She was …
