Autoimmune Conditions

Dr. Bowen’s approach to autoimmune conditions is to focus on healing digestion and removing underlying causes or contributing factors that provoke autoimmunity. Dr. Tieu also utilizes a holistic approach to treating autoimmune diseases. We have seen much improvement and even complete resolution of many types of autoimmune conditions using only natural therapies or when integrating natural approaches with conventional care. We treat conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Lupus, CREST, Raynaud’s, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Multiple Sclerosis and more!

Acne & Skin Care - Dermatology

When skin conditions surface we believe that the skin is merely showing us that there is an imbalance in the rest of the body. We treat skin conditions first and foremost by normalizing digestion and then focusing on figuring out why the condition started so we can treat through nutrition, lifestyle, and psychosomatic approaches to prevent future problems from cropping up. The skin is also an organ of elimination / detoxification. When we help the body to detoxify in other ways we are able to provide a more holistic approach to treating these issues on a sustainable level. We treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, chronic hives (urticaria), rashes and more.

Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue is often an overlooked issue with simple solutions. There are so many causes of chronic fatigue! Dr. Tieu specializes in identifying and treating the underlying cause of fatigue. Whether it is low thyroid function, adrenal fatigue, or a chronic illness, Dr. Tieu does a thorough work-up and lab testing to determine the root cause of your symptoms and get your energy back up while helping to eradicate the cause.

Chronic Pain/Injuries

When it comes to managing chronic pains and injuries, the key is identifying why it is happening and working to undo the cause whenever possible.

We start with a comprehensive workup. If the problem is structural, we work in conjunction with other types of manual therapies to restore as much function as possible; integrating physical medicine such as acupuncture and massage with lifestyle and nutrition can provide a more cost-effective and sustainable plan for the patient. We also integrate herbal/nutritional anti-inflammatories when necessary.

We believe that emotional health and support are equally as important in helping our patients as the natural treatments that help to support the person’s body. Living with chronic pain can be really hard and we encourage you to seek support in helping to treat your full health — mind and body!

She offers tailored treatments, focusing on balancing hormones, nutrition, and stress management to improve reproductive health.

Food and Environmental Allergies/Sensitivities

Restoring digestive balance can help to reduce allergic response. Dr. Bowen and Dr. Tieu can help with identification and removal of allergic triggers, assisting the body to produce less pro-inflammatory products. Through testing and evaluation (blood work, nutrition, stool tests, etc.), they can determine which reactions are intolerances and which reactions are food allergies. Their integrative approach may also use systemic anti-inflammatory herbs/nutrients to treat allergies. Dr. Bowen is Mold-Literate Certified.

Sleep Disturbance

Sleep Disturbance is defined as the inability to fall asleep, remain asleep, or feel refreshed by sleep. Sleep disruption can be caused or worsened by so many things! Potential causes of sleep disturbance include stress, psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, anger), medications (central nervous system stimulants), supplements (ginseng, guarana, green tea, etc.), physiologic causes or underlying illness (anemia, heart or lung condition, sleep apnea, chronic pain, heartburn, etc.), hormones, food, and jet lag.

Sleep disturbance is experienced occasionally by one in four Americans, and chronically by 10% of Americans. Through detailed intake and strategic approaches, we can help in restoring your sleep!

Primary Care

Dr. Tieu, ND, LAc, is trained in primary care, and can offer fast and efficient services without the wait times of urgent care. We can treat various acute infections, high blood pressure, cholesterol and much more. We can manage most medications and also have the added benefit of including natural approaches to create an integrative plan that can offset side effects and high medication doses.

Insurance

Insurance does not cover our services.  We have chosen this purposefully so that we have the freedom to show up for our patients and not be forced to serve the insurance company.  For more details or questions regarding this choice and your payment options, please contact our office directly.

If you have an HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account), we may be able to offer that approach for payment for patients in Washington state.

An important note to make is that most insurance coverage pays for discovering a diagnosis, discussing symptoms, and offering treatment programs / prescription medications that cover up or dull those symptoms.  If that approach doesn’t work, the next step is often surgery.  The goal of naturopathic or functional medicine is to support the body’s own innate ability to heal itself.  It’s a very different approach to regaining your quality of life and we believe that it is a much more sustainable path for our patients.

Investing in your health and the future of your health is something we highly recommend!
