Integrative medicine focuses on healing and preventing illness by incorporating natural approaches to enhance patient outcomes, bringing more treatment options other than what conventional medicine has to offer.
Conventional medicine is very important when our health is being compromised in an acute state and or in critical condition, but our bodies are not made from manufactured compounded chemical medications. All of our cells are made of fats, proteins, fibers, and water. They are directed by our hormones and the chemical reactions are managed by vitamins and minerals, not by synthetic medications which can lead our bodies into poor health causing new or worsening disease states.
We pride ourselves on continuing to learn the newest healing techniques in natural medicine and lifestyles and educating our patients along the way.

Hormones are made by Endocrine glands like the thyroid, ovaries, pancreas, and adrenal glands. They are potent chemical messengers in the body that travel through the bloodstream carrying information to organs and tissues. Hormones tell your cells what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Because of the intricate communication process between hormones and cells, problems often involve a series of hormones. This disruption in hormone production by one gland or glands can then cause other gland systems to malfunction, just like a chain reaction.
Together, we will work on getting your hormones back in balance.

When most of us are born we are in perfect condition, nothing is softer than a healthy newborn baby's skin, but then life starts, and we expose our bodies to all kinds of elements.
Due to genetics, we are born with the possibility of predispositions for certain types of disease states, but it is the environment in which we live that triggers our immune system to react. Autoimmune is when instead of your antibodies (your fighter guys) attacking enemies like viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells, something happens in our body that impacts and changes the look of certain cells. This can happen after some type of acute stressor to our system like getting an infection, exposed environmental toxins, emotional life stressors, and from processed and chemically engineered foods. To detox, is the process of abstaining from something long enough for the remains to clear from the body.
RIH supports our patients in this process whether with diet, hormonal supports, vitamins and supplements, good sleep hygiene, stress management, and physical activity.

BHRT is the replenishment of hormones with substances that are biologically identical to what the body naturally makes.
BHRT are usually prescribed in transdermal cream preparations which are absorbed into the skin, this avoids the negative effects on the liver like oral hormones.
Compounding pharmacists combine bio-identical hormones into preparations specific to a patient’s needs.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) helps improve dopamine levels and is being used as a regulator of the immune system, providing relief to patients with autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's, Psoriasis, RA, Lupus. It also can help with Crohn's, central nervous system disorders like MS, Parkinson's, depression and is successful use with chronic pain syndromes like Fibromyalgia, cancer support, inflammation and arthralgias, Lyme Disease, and even now for weight loss management.
Natural Desiccated Thyroid therapy is made from porcine (pig thyroid gland) used to treat primary hypothyroidism and autoimmune induced hypothyroidism called Hashimoto's. Unlike Synthroid/Levothyroxine, which is only T4, NDT has combination of T4 and T3, and some preparations also have T1, T2, and calcitonin.
Many people may have issues that inhibit their ability to convert T4 into T3, so when a conventional provider checks your labs, they may look "normal" even though the person continues to feel like the thyroid is underactive. For some people NDT along with dietary and lifestyle changes help improve metabolism and overall sense of wellness.

A lesson on fungi, molds and yeast:
There are all kinds of naturally occurring fungi, molds, and yeast strains that live all around us, on us, and in us. Their function is to breakdown organic matter and decompose it. Otherwise, we would be living in miles high of dead leaves, dead animals, and rubbish. We are usually able to live healthy and happily with this occurring all around us. Our own organisms, like the bacteria in your gut, are supposed to live symbiotically with them, meaning they should have a happy peaceful existence supporting each other, but when one or more of these strains of bacteria or yeast/mold/fungus become imbalanced they get greedy and start to take over.
There are many ways that we disrupt our gut environment such a diet high in sugar and processed foods, recurrent antibiotic use that kills the good gut guys, long term use of antacid medications like Tums, Zantac, and Prilosec, then there is NSAIDs (non-steroid anti-inflammatories) like ibuprofen and naproxen that can seriously affect the gut lining. These so called "benign" medications are the start of dysbiosis or imbalance of the gut guys, also known as gut flora, which then leads to inflammation that causes bloating, reflux, irritable bowel, which then leads to malabsorption of nutrients from food like vitamins, minerals, issues breaking down protein into amino acids. This affects neurotransmitter that affect your mood, and then this causes hormone imbalances, which can affect your energy, and inhibit your immune system which then leads to chronic disease, autoimmune disorders, and cancers.
An antifungal protocol helps to get your gut back into balance and support the reversal of chronic disease, autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, chronic sinusitis, allergies, weight loss, and even cancer. If you are someone that has been bounced around from one specialist to the next, have been on many different medications and tried many different treatments and therapies, but still not feeling better, the antifungal protocol may be for you.
PolyPeptides are chains of amino acids that act like hormones and target cellular healing and tissue repair like BPC-157, which has been shown to improve gut health and musculoskeletal symptoms related to general health concerns and autoimmune disorders. There are different polypeptides that support HGH (human growth hormone) that can help balance hormones, promote muscle mass and weight loss. There is also semaglutide and tirzepatide.
Other peptides are specific in directing your cells to improve your immune system fighting off viral/bacterial/fungal infections and cancer cells, while many also promote better sleep, energy levels, and brain concentration. Polypeptides are compounded by a specialty pharmacy and treatment options come in injectable, oral, and topical for targeted therapy. Some of the polypeptides can be used in combination to reach peak potential and improved outcome. Most people start to see improvements as early as 1-2 weeks with some taking up to 3-6 months with a slower notable improvement, results are dependent on personal health history, current issues, and how sick you may be.

My experience with Miriam Schwartz was and still is amazing. I have never felt so cared for and supported by anyone. She helped me with my thyroid problems and helped me loose a ton of weight. She takes time with you and really gets to know you and your body. She treats the whole person not just the symptoms. I feel like I'm a teenager again. My only regret was not finding her sooner.
Sincerely,
Erika L.
Miriam Schwartz is a true healer. I am so grateful to have found her. I had been struggling with debilitating fatigue, unsightly random hair loss, severe brain fog and mental lapses for no apparent reason. Having always been a very healthy & active person, I was desperately on a quest for answers and immediate remediation. After researching some of my symptoms, I had come across bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, as that treatment could help in alleviated some of the adrenal & hormonal issues I was experiencing. That’s where my search brought me to Miriam. Upon my very first visit with Miriam, she took one look at me & instantly noticed that my neck looked oddly enlarged. She had suggested that an ultrasound of my thyroid be performed & immediately ordered that for me. Thank goodness she did because during that ultrasound, it had been discovered that I had a very large 4.5 cm solid nodule randomly growing on my thyroid. If it wasn’t for Miriam’s professionally trained eye, my Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis would have never been discovered & I would still be needlessly struggling.
Miriam thinks outside of the box, assisting you in finding your root cause. Her genuine concern and commitment to help me regain my health inspired me and gave me hope. She is willing to try new things & experiment to formulate a precise regimen to fit your specific needs! Miriam orders all of the necessary labs that go above & beyond the standard. After following Miriam’s protocol, I can say without hesitation that I am a changed person!
Miriam is extremely accessible, responsive, and supportive in times of need. She is patient, comforting, very thorough & extremely knowledgeable! She has been my champion supporting me 110% along the way & I am tremendously grateful to have found her! If you are in search for answers & your root cause,
I highly recommend working with Miriam, she has been an absolute godsend for me!

Miriam Schwartz is an incredibly skilled and thoughtful practitioner. I'm confident that she has improved the lives of many others, just as she has helped improved mine. I thank her for listening to me about my symptoms and concerns when no one else would. I believe that if I hadn't gone under Miriam's care I would still be suffering from Hashimoto's symptoms. Her listening skills and ability to problem solve are one in a million. I am grateful every day for the help that she has given me.
