Balance Your Hormones
Hormonal imbalances can cause many different problems in the body. For example, if a patient has cholesterol levels that are too low she may have problems manufacturing all her hormones from estrogen to testosterone. Also, low blood sugar or hypoglycemia can be a contributing factor to anxiety or other health problems. Dr. Finker helps to balance the whole body to make sure that everything is functioning properly.

Improve Digestion
There are many underlying causes of digestion issues that aren’t often addressed such as: stress, food allergies, decreased amounts of good bacteria, etc. Dr. Finker will always determine these causes and then help heal them appropriately, naturally.
Also, many digestive problems are often related to other health ailments such as skin diseases, sinus health, arthritis, autoimmune disorders and so on. Usually, when you heal the gastrointestinal tract other health problems are healed as well. Dr. Finker looks at the whole body and treats it in its entirety.
Healing the gastrointestinal tract and keeping it healthy is always a large focus of Dr. Finker’s health plans. She utilizes the following to support gut health:
Diet and Nutrition
Assesses the need for the appropriate probiotics to make sure that the good bacteria that aids in digestion and prevents against infection is abundant
Removes the obstacles to good digestion. If food allergies, gluten intolerance, or other culprits are present, they can be tested and removed
