Gut, Skin & Hormone Dysfunction

Gut, skin, and hormone dysfunction often arise from a combination of internal and external factors that disrupt the body’s natural balance. Poor diet, chronic stress, environmental toxins, overuse of medications, and unresolved emotional trauma can strain key systems, leading to inflammation, weakened digestion, and hormonal imbalances. Over time, these disruptions may manifest as persistent gut disorders, skin issues, or chronic hormonal imbalances. In Chinese medicine, these issues are seen as blockages or deficiencies in the flow of Qi (energy) and blood, which compromise the body's ability to detoxify, regenerate, and maintain equilibrium.

Symptoms are merely the body’s way of telling you that something is out of alignment.

Treatment and Approach

Hormonal imbalances, gut dysfunction, and skin issues are your body’s way of signaling that something deeper is out of alignment. Symptoms are merely puzzle pieces that allow us to see to the bigger picture—that stress, toxins, and lifestyle patterns are burdening key organs and systems. Instead of masking symptoms, we focus on helping release these burdens and restore your body from the inside out.

  • We work from the inside out. Our clinical approach with Classical acupuncture allows us to restore energy flow and reduce symptoms. Paired with Medical Qi Gong to support physical and emotional resilience. To support ongoing deficiencies and imbalances in the gut, blood and body’s resources, herbal medicine is employed to nourish and strengthen the body and accelerate healing. This combination approach regulates the body’s responses and restores it’s innate balance.

  • Advanced tools such as bioresonance and constitutional therapy uncover hidden stressors such as toxic exposures, assess organ functionality, pinpoint genetic weaknesses, and evaluate overall biological health.

  • Gentle yet effective support for clearing toxins is key to restore proper function of all body systems. Often individuals with chronic skin, gut and hormone disorders are simplex experiencing the effects of chemicals, toxins and stress-promoting habits. Focused detoxification allows us to safely remove harmful compounds and discover a new balance.

  • Disorders of the gut, skin and endocrine system are all closely linked to the neurological system, according to both Western research and traditional medicine. Our approach considers the personal factors and etiologies that have weakened affected organs. We also provide at-home tools to empower each patient to participate in their self-healing and create positive daily habits.

FAQs

  • Disruptions in gut, hormone, and skin health often stem from accumulated stress, toxin overload, and lifestyle habits that overburden key organs. From a Chinese Medicine perspective, imbalance occurs when these organs fail to regulate the body’s natural flow of energy, digestion, and detoxification, leading to stagnation, inflammation, and systemic disharmony. Our perspective emphasizes how external factors such as chronic stress or environmental burdens weaken the gut microbiome, strain hormone production, and impact the skin (the largest organ in the body and a key route for detoxification).

  • Many of our patients have come in experiencing painful periods, infertility, hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, chronic bloating, weak digestion, and skin flare-ups – to name a few. We use gentle, yet effective, clinically-proven methods like ancient fasting practices, herbal remedies, and classical acupuncture to help support the body’s natural rhythm. When given the proper resources, the natural functions of the body (easeful cycles, hormonal balance, clear skin, and effortless digestion) simply follow suit.

  • Consuming foods that lack living hydration, enzymes, fiber, or antioxidant properties automatically increase the burden on your body, and in combination with environmental or epigenetic factors, can disrupt other crucial systems and functions. Nourishing your body with living hydration and nature’s medicine—healing fruits, herbs, and whole foods— is essential for supporting the body’s natural detoxification and balance.

  • By addressing underlying imbalances in key organs related to hormone regulation and reproductive health, we help support menstrual cycles, alleviate symptoms like pain and bloating, and enhance fertility. The combination our remedies and detoxification principles nourish the body and leave patients with easeful cycles, near-perfect bloodwork, and increased fertility levels.

“Sometime last year, I woke up from a dream in which a stranger told me to work with Dr. Isabella of the Innata Institute. At the time, I was struggling with a range of health issues that no conventional doctor seemed to have an answer for. My hormones were a mess, plummeting to perimenopausal levels. I was diagnosed with osteopenia and dealing with major body aches and inflammation. I had hives and was experiencing breakouts for the first time in my life. My days were riddled with unrelenting fatigue and my nights, insomnia… doctors had told me I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant.

For the first time, someone made me feel like healing wasn’t just possible—it was my birthright. After so many other professionals had thrown up their hands in confusion and dismissed me, Dr. Isabella's belief in my body’s ability to heal along with the science to back it up felt like a godsend. Over the following months, I embraced her recommendations: medical Qi Gong, specific recipes for regeneration, and a series of nightly remote Qi Gong sessions where I would sip tea in bed as she worked her magic from afar. At the time, I had no real understanding of what was happening in those sessions, but they were working. It wasn’t until I attended Dr. Isabella’s Desert Healing Retreat this past October that everything truly clicked…

After the retreat, I felt like a completely new version of myself—someone that could make it through a whole day without slumping over on the couch at 10am wanting to fall asleep and someone who couldn’t withstand the first two days of her period without Advil. [This] is my version of shouting from the rooftops the mystery and magic that is Dr. Isabella and her work in regenerative health.”
