I’m Dr. Michael Smith (Dr. TCM), a clinician with over 30 years of experience helping people navigate autoimmune conditions and complex chronic symptoms. My approach combines the best of Functional Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, and ancestral nutrition through the Epi-AIP framework.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a collaborative process that honors your unique story, your goals, and your body’s innate ability to heal when given the right support.
We use evidence-informed tools and functional testing to get clear on what’s happening in your body.
Decades of clinical practice and thousands of patient hours inform a deeper, more intuitive care.
We look at the whole picture—not just your labs—addressing the physical, emotional, and environmental factors.
Realistic steps, grounded in daily life, so you can build resilience and lasting well-being.
Autoimmune illness and chronic disease can be isolating and frustrating. It can feel like you’ve tried everything and still haven’t found answers.
This work is about more than managing symptoms. It’s about understanding your body, addressing root causes, and creating a foundation for long-term health and vitality.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing.
