Understanding Allergies
Allergies are your immune system’s overreaction to substances that are generally harmless. Common allergens include:
- Pollen from trees, grass, and weeds
- Animal dander from pets
- Dust mites
- Certain foods like peanuts, shellfish, and eggs
- Insect stings
- Molds
Our Approach to Allergy Management
At Genesis Integrative Medicine, we focus on identifying triggers and reducing your body’s sensitivity to them. Our comprehensive approach includes the following.
Personalized Assessments and Testing
We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your specific allergy profile. This involves a detailed discussion of your medical history and, if needed, specialized testing to pinpoint your triggers.
Allergy testing can be done through skin testing or blood testing. Skin testing involves applying a small amount of a suspected allergen to your skin using a tiny needle, then observing your skin’s reaction to determine if you have an allergy. Blood testing measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that your body produces in response to an allergen.
Holistic Treatment Plans
Immune support is crucial in managing allergy symptoms. It helps the body accurately identify and combat allergens, preventing overreaction and inflammation. By strengthening the immune system, we can better control allergic reactions, minimize symptoms, and improve overall health and well-being.
At Genesis Integrative Medicine, our treatment plans are tailored to your unique needs, integrating conventional methods with natural therapies. Terra Hartman utilizes her extensive training in alternative modalities, such as IV therapy, ozone therapy, and peptide therapy, to bolster your immune system naturally.
Education and Empowerment
We believe that knowledge is power. Our team educates you on identifying and avoiding allergens, managing symptoms, and enhancing your health through lifestyle changes and nutritional support.
