General Practitioners

• Sinusitis
• Medical Weight Loss
  I first learned of Fat Fasting forty years ago from Robert C. Atkins, MD Cardiologist. He recommended the Fat Fast for patients who had initial weight loss success with his LCHF Diet, but hit a plateau. More recently, Jason Fung, MD found the Fat Fast as a way to help his patients get back on track. He’s a Nephrologist from Canada who’s created renewed interest in fasting and LCHF diets to reverse kidney disease and Diabetes. I follow Dr. Fung on Twitter as a way to stay informed and motivated.
• Nutritional Counseling
  AK Treatment includes spinal adjustments, muscle balancing, craniosacral techniques, acupressure, nutritional counseling, supplementation, exercise, visualization, and affirmations.
• Primary Care
  Fasting is not recommended when pregnant or lactating, if you have had problems with anorexia or if your BMI is less than 18. There are special considerations for women who are cycling and during perimenopause and menopause. If you have chronic health problems it is imperative that you work with your consulting primary care physician. At the very least Stop Snacking!
• Ear Infections
  Chiropractic care is a safe and gentle alternative to standard treatment for colic, ear infections, ADD/ADHD, sensory processing disorder, allergies, and so much more. Our kids program offers special rates for children (termed once 18)
• Constipation
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  The health of your gut is directly related to the health of your whole body. Our labs use advanced PCR technology to measure hundreds of organisms taking billions of copies of your DNA. We test for bacteria, parasites, viruses, yeasts, and other health risk markers. This testing also shows if you are making enough acid, enzymes, and bile to properly digest your food. Our providers use these tests to differentiate between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, help diagnose Leaky Gut Syndrome, Gluten Intolerance, and more. Take care of the health of your gut and feel better.

Internists

• Cervical Cancer
  For a great introduction to this phenomenon I recommend the book How To Starve Cancer by Jane McClelland. In this book, she describes her personal journey finding ways of starving her stage four cervical cancer. In it she shares her struggles with the medical system as well as her discoveries of the multiple ways cancer feeds itself. She rediscovered ways of using off-label, older medications to prevent cancer from getting the food it needs, She says that this weakens the cancer helping other therapies help in fighting the tumors and giving the immune system time to kill off the cancer.

Neurologists

• Autism
  Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder occur when the nervous system has become overly sensitive and thus is overstimulated by normal, everyday actions. To understand the underlying causes we recommend looking at the three contributing factors...

Psychiatrists

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Stress Management
  At The Gleason Center, we use the integration of muscles, joints, nerves, exercise, nutrition, and stress management in our chiropractic treatment plans.
• Mental Health
  Thankfully people are now being encouraged to openly discuss their Mental Health. Sports figures are coming forward admitting their mental challenges; not just suffering in silence. These are positive signs that may be part of a silver lining resulting from the stressors of the last few years. If you are feeling isolated reach out to others who may be feeling the same way. Community is a great vehicle to help others and yourself. Call, write, text old friends. Get back to your exercise and yoga groups. Go back to church, art shows, museums, sporting events. Join others for a walk, coffee or a drink.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Radiologist

• Chemotherapy
  She presents the concept of the cancer stem cell that I was unaware of. Most traditional cancer therapy is focused on killing the rapidly growing cells using surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. While these approaches may be initially effective at reducing the size of the tumors, they do not affect the cancer stem cells that caused the problem in the first place. These radical procedures can have serious side effects and often make the cancer return with a vengeance. Conventional treatments have made little progress in long-term survival rates of the most common types of cancer in the last 50 years.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  Dr. Gleason has been caring for West Michigan families for over 40 years. His kind, caring, and compassionate nature has seen generations of patients heal and live their healthiest lives. Dr. Gleason was introduced to chiropractic care while attending the University of Michigan College of Engineering. He was suffering from painful sciatica and a serious back injury ultimately sent him to a chiropractor who helped restore his health. Since that day, Dr. Gleason has passionately advocated for the best interests of his patients. He considers himself a lifelong learner who uses an engineering approach to solving your health problems. Uncovering the root cause of chronic illness instead of treating symptoms. Healing the whole you.

Dermatologists

• Eczema
  Foods can be a blessing or a curse. Testing to see if your immune system is reacting to what you're eating is an essential part of your health care plan. We use comprehensive tests with IgE testing for allergy and IgG testing for intolerance. The test measures IgG antibody levels to 87 foods, quantitative IgE antibody levels to the most common types of dietary allergens, and total IgE. Additional tests are also available for regional inhalants, molds, vegetables and spices. Conditions related to allergies and intolerances include: asthma, migraines, ear infections, eczema, sinusitis, urticaria, and colitis.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
• Occupational Therapy

Allergists

• Allergies
  The ION Test is performed by Genova Diagnostics, which is headquartered in Ashville, N.C. For best results, we recommend consultation with an experienced practitioner to help with the interpretation and implementation of the this testing. To get an even more comprehensive evaluation, findings of this test can be combined with the results of conventional lab tests as well as other functional tests including comprehensive stool testing for GI function, food allergy testing, and hormone testing. As always, I suggest doing your own research, checking with your physician, and asking people you know for a clinic near you that can help determine your personalized path to health.
