Your body has been part of the conversation all along.
Dr Sanae Suzuki, DAOM, PRCFMP
Throughout clinical work in private practice, integrative medicine departments, and mental health treatment centers, a consistent picture emerges. People have seen many providers, received many answers, and still feel unseen as a whole person.
My practice is built around one question: what is the body contributing to how this person feels?
Common concerns
Chronic stress and trauma·Sleep disruption·Digestive trouble·Hormonal shifts·Anxiety and low mood·Fatigue·Pain
These concerns connect across systems. They arrive together, and they are read together.
The course of care
The journal. Seven days of food, sleep, energy, digestion, and stress, plus detailed intake questionnaires on health and life history.
The assessment. We review everything in detail together at the first visit: the journal, your health and life history, and any existing laboratory results. The plan comes from there.
The care. Treatment often centers on herbal medicine and targeted supplementation, with formulas from the Japanese Kampo tradition. Functional laboratory testing, genomics, and a biographical timeline inform treatment, where applicable. Somatic approaches build nervous system regulation and resilience. Nutrition follows your record, and acupuncture is added in person when indicated.
As a non-prescriber, I collaborate with your prescriber, therapist, and other providers when needed. Your existing care stays exactly where it is.
From patients
“My doctor referred me, and the root-cause approach made all the difference in my outcomes. I have come back over the years anytime something arises because this is the level of care that actually works.”
T.A.“The conventional treatment was causing difficult side effects. By working together, my lab results improved, and so did my overall well-being. The difference was addressing what was actually happening underneath.”
