Root Cause Healing for Lasting Health

At Heal Thyself Institute, we use functional medicine to uncover and address the why behind your symptoms, not just mask them. Our care is for both adults and children, with customized approaches for each stage of life. We help adults navigate chronic illness, hormone imbalance, digestive disorders like IBS and Crohn’s, Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune diseases, mold toxicity, fatigue, and brain fog.

For children, our focus goes beyond labels like autism, ADHD, or learning and focus challenges, we dig deeper to identify possible root causes such as PANS/PANDAS, chronic infections, parasites, gut imbalances, mold exposure, and other underlying immune or neurological triggers. By combining advanced lab testing with in-depth health history and lifestyle analysis, we create a plan that’s as unique as your child, helping them not just manage symptoms, but thrive.

The Heal Thyself Approach

At Heal Thyself Institute, functional medicine is more than testing and supplements; it’s a partnership. We take time to understand your full story, connecting patterns between your brain, body, environment, and emotions. Our process blends clinical precision with compassionate guidance, helping you understand why your body is reacting and how to support its healing.

Every recommendation, from nutrition and detox support to supplements and lifestyle changes, is tailored to your individual needs and goals. We believe true healing happens when patients feel informed, empowered, and supported at every step of their journey.

Healing Stories From Our Functional Medicine Patients

Each patient’s story is a reminder that healing happens when we address the root cause, not just the symptoms. 

Dr Waldo & Alyssa truly go above and beyond with their patients. I was fit into their busy schedule last minute. Dr Waldo takes his time to thoroughly examine any issues or new complaints. He knows his stuff!! I love that he educates you on how to make simple life adjustments. So much more than your typical DC office, a holistic functional office that truly does it all. Highly recommend to anyone for anything
