CCIM health programs
Programs, mapped to the whole person.
Five focused pathways connect the microbiome, endocrine health, nutrition, joint repair, chronic pain, and metabolic recovery.
Choose your point of entry
Your care does not have to fit a one-size-fits-all template.
Each program below is presented as a complete chapter. Read the details, follow related areas of care, then bring your questions to a comprehensive consultation.
Five programs, fully visible on one page.
Program 01 · Chronic disease
Chronic disease reversal service
This is offered in our Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, California, Columbia, Maryland, Charleston, South Carolina sites, and is focused on resolving chronic inflammation, improving health from the root source. We help with all of your health goals.
Balance the gut microbiome
The way we are successful at reversing chronic inflammation is to balance the gut microbiome specifically to promote a robust diverse bacterial population with not overgrowth of yeast and no mycotoxin induced inflammation.
This also involves chelation of toxic heavy metals and replacement of deficient micronutrients.
Connect inflammation and hormones
Usually, there is an endocrine problem that means hormone imbalances induced by colonic inflammation that will affect every organ. There is endocrinopathy and paracrinopathy associated with every chronic disease.
For example, GLP-1 deficiency, hypercortisolism and vitamin C deficiency are present in all diabetics. We will help with hormone balancing to address this and usually this helps us resolve chronic fatigue, insomnia and digestive problems, IBS, etc.
Built around the person
We also prominently involve nutrition and our approach is to create custom food lifestyle for each patient that may involve more prebiotic and fiber for one patient, but it may involve less for another.
While we live in an age of cult-based thinking about food, we know that one-size- fits- all doesn’t work; your food lifestyle must include your ancestry, your microbiome, your genetics and your personal preferences of course and your lifestyle. For example, night shift workers will have a different food lifestyle than somebody who works during the day.
Magnolia Integrative Medicine
Our Charleston, South Carolina site operates in partnership with Magnolia Integrative Medicine, located at 1064 Gardner Road, Suite 208, Charleston, SC 29407.
Program 02 · Women’s health
Women's health endocrinology
We are on a mission to create coherent women's health medical services which are sorely needed in our time. We know that estrobolome, which is how the gut microbiome regulates estrogen in the body, is the root cause for many estrogen-related illnesses such as breast cancer, endometriosis, dysautonomia, fibroids, anxiety, allergies, painful heavy periods.
Begin with listening
We start with a comprehensive evaluation; listening to you tell us what you are going through is the BEST diagnostic test.
Map hormone patterns
Furthermore, because of the 28-day menstrual cycle, we use cycle mapping testing using the DUTCH test which is a urine steroid hormone metabolite test or salivary hormone testing, which can be done over the course of 30 days or on day 21.
We also do mid cycle testing as well. Of course, blood testing is also useful.
Coordinate multiple approaches
Our treatments for women's health include bioidentical hormones, herbal treatments, botanicals, supplements, lifestyle changes, yoga therapy, and more.
Address connected patterns
We also address PCOS by lessening the ovarian hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance associated with this which also originates from the gut microbiome. Treatments for PCOS include metformin, GLP-1s, prebiotics, Inositol and quercetin. Usually, this is reversible.
Address the estrobolome
Hashimoto’s also involves addressing the estrobolome and we reverse that with estrogen balancing treatments such as indole-3-carbinol, calcium-D-glucarate along with GLP-1s to optimize weight and possibly antifungal treatments to lessen tendency towards Th2 style inflammation, which is the hallmark of autoimmune disease.
Consider future health
It is also important to know that any disease that happens predominantly more in women likely involves the estrobolome and balancing the estrobolome will improve future health for women.
Program 03 · Men’s health
Men's hormones & prostate health
When estrobolome is aberrant in men, that is the root cause of thyroid disease and prostate disease in men.
Our prostate microbiome program involves helping patients decrease the size of the prostate; in fact, we have the record for the largest decrease in prostate size ever documented using noninvasive treatments where a prostate that was 177 mL decreased in its size 70 mL over the course of two years.
Resolve the contributing pattern
We do this by resolving the hormone imbalances such as low testosterone and low vitamin D and insulin resistance along with resolving the prostate microbiome (bacterial) imbalances.
Specialized care for men
We specialize in balancing testosterone in men; we use our gut microbiome treatments to address the root cause, while using testosterone and enclomiphene to balance.
Program 04 · Prolotherapy at CCIM
Joint repair & chronic pain
Chronic pain and musculoskeletal programs:
This is offered in our Woodland Hills, California and Columbia, Maryland offices, specifically with using a joint prolotherapy, ozone treatments, acupuncture, yoga therapy and integrative medicine treatments to resolve chronic pain.
Root-cause chronic pain care
As we started as a chronic pain service back in 2011 in Maryland, we are experts in chronic pain by addressing the root cause.
Multiple treatment options
If you are inquiring about peptides, yes, we do make use of them. We do have a large tool kit to help our patients in chronic pain
