Felt especially grateful this past weekend to have my mom and aunt in town visiting. There’s something really meaningful about getting to care for the people who helped care for you first.

While they were here, I treated my mom with PRP injections for her hip, knee, and the base of her thumb to help support healing, reduce pain, and improve function naturally. We also did a SAAT treatment for her seasonal allergies — something we’ve seen help so many patients here in the Roanoke area.

One of my favorite parts of practicing integrative medicine is being able to combine regenerative therapies and holistic approaches to help people feel their best. Even better when it’s family.

Very thankful for the visit, the laughs, and the chance to spend quality time together. 💚

This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Medicines from the Earth conference in Black Mountain, NC, and it was exactly the kind of experience my soul needed. 🌿

There was something incredibly rejuvenating about being back in my herbal element, surrounded by fellow naturopaths, acupuncturists, herbalists, and holistic practitioners who share the same passion for natural medicine and whole-person healing. It was also wonderful reconnecting with colleagues and friends I haven’t seen in years.

The weekend was filled with inspiring classes and hands-on learning — from herb walks along beautiful hiking trails, to tincture and salve making workshops, to fascinating discussions on treating hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome with herbal medicine, among many other topics.

Experiences like this are such an important reminder of why I fell in love with this work in the first place. I’m grateful to continue learning, growing, and bringing new knowledge back to my patients and community at Appalachian Integrative Health. 🌱

Alpha-gal syndrome is becoming increasingly common throughout our region, and for many people, it can completely change the way they eat, socialize, and live. At Appalachian Integrative Health, we are proud to offer SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) — an innovative acupuncture-based treatment that has shown an approximately 95% success rate for many patients struggling with alpha-gal and other allergies.

SAAT utilizes a very specific acupuncture approach involving a tiny needle placed in the ear for a short period of time to help calm and retrain the body’s immune response. Many patients report significant improvements in their reactions and quality of life after treatment.

While alpha-gal is one of the most common allergies we see treated with SAAT here in Southwest Virginia, this therapy may also be helpful for:
• Seasonal allergies
• Environmental allergies
• Food sensitivities and allergies
• Pet allergies
• And more

Because every patient is unique, we take an individualized approach to determine whether SAAT may be appropriate for your situation and how best to support your overall immune health.

If you or someone you know is struggling with alpha-gal or chronic allergies, we’d love to help explore your options. Call our office to learn more about whether SAAT may be right for you.

We are excited to officially announce that we are now offering PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy at Appalachian Integrative Health!

PRP is a regenerative treatment that utilizes your body’s own healing factors to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. After a small blood draw, the blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma — a concentrated portion rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This PRP is then used to support healing in targeted areas of the body.

PRP is commonly used for:
• Joint pain and arthritis
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Sports injuries
• Chronic inflammation
• Muscle strain and overuse injuries

One of the things we love most about PRP is that it works with the body instead of simply masking symptoms. It is a powerful option for patients looking for a more natural and regenerative approach to pain and healing.

As with everything we do at Appalachian Integrative Health, treatment is individualized. Some patients may benefit from PRP alone, while others may benefit from combining it with therapies such as prolotherapy, trigger point injections, physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, nutritional support, or lifestyle modifications.

Check out the photos/video below to see the PRP process in action — including the platelet-rich plasma after centrifugation! 🩸✨

If you’re interested in learning whether PRP may be a good fit for you, feel free to reach out to our office for more information.

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month 💚🐞

This weekend, I had the honor of participating in the Lyme Warrior 5K alongside my incredible friend and fellow Lyme-literate provider, Dr. Janine Talty. Events like these are such an important reminder of how many individuals and families are affected by Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses every single day.

Lyme disease can be incredibly complex and difficult to diagnose. Many patients suffer for years with symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, anxiety, neuropathy, headaches, digestive issues, and more before finally getting answers. Unfortunately, standard testing can sometimes miss cases, which is why more comprehensive specialty testing through labs such as IGeneX and Vibrant Wellness can be extremely valuable in certain patients.

At Appalachian Integrative Health, we work with many patients dealing with Lyme disease, co-infections, mold illness, and chronic inflammatory conditions. One of the most important things to understand is that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing. Every patient’s history, immune system, toxic burden, nervous system, gut health, and co-infections are unique — and their treatment plan should be too.

Our goal is always to provide compassionate, individualized care while helping patients uncover the root causes contributing to their symptoms.

As we move deeper into tick season here in Virginia, don’t forget to check yourself, your children, and your pets after spending time outdoors. Early detection and awareness truly matter.

Zac spent last weekend in Atlanta advancing his skills with specialized training in Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections! 💉✨

PRP therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood—packed with healing platelets—to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote natural recovery. It’s a powerful option for treating joint pain, soft tissue injuries, and more.

We’re excited to bring this cutting-edge treatment to our patients—PRP appointments will be available soon! 🙌
