Advanced Diagnostic testing for heart and brain health

We offer advanced testing for cardiac, metabolic and brain health to identify risk before disease occurs so that we may make changes to prevent disease BEFORE it occurs. This includes detailed history, advanced lab work not typically available, and imaging studies like coronary artery calcification scores or MRI volumetric analysis of brains. An ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure.

Group Programs for Weight Loss, Fatigue, Auto-Immune Disorders, and Detoxification

Excess weight, Autoimmune disorders and Environmental Toxicity are robbing people of energy, quality of life, even years of life. Our society has epidemic levels of these problems which have not been nearly as common throughout history. Some have forecast a decrease in lifespan for the Millennial generation and beyond, and Western Medicine is ill equipped to deal with these problems. Our programs teach participants how to navigate our toxic environment and activate their bodies’ detoxification and healing capabilities through Lifestyle and Functional Medicine Principles.

At Bold City DPC, mindfulness meditation is a prescription for wellness.

The health benefits of mindfulness meditation.


Science has shown that mindfulness meditation can positively affect a range of health conditions, including cancer, depression and PTSD and aging. "We show that mindfulness meditation impacts measurable brain circuits more so than helpful relaxation practices, and that these brain circuit changes help us understand how mindfulness meditation improves health.” Dr. David Creswell - Carnegie Mellon University,

Reduces inflammation

Chronic inflammation is at the core of many health problems, including heart disease, cancer, depression and diabetes. Mindfulness meditation is shown to lower inflammatory cytokines, specifically interleukin-6, which is a biomarker that can indicate unhealthy levels of inflammation in the body.

Reduces stress

NIH-sponsored clinical trial led by a Georgetown University Medical Center researcher has found objective physiological evidence that mindfulness meditation combats anxiety. Patients had sharply reduced stress-hormone and inflammatory responses to a stressful situation after taking a mindfulness meditation course.  -- Patients who took a non-meditation stress management course had worsened responses.

Pain Management

Mindfulness-based pain relief shows promise as a supplement, or alternative to drug treatments. In their review, Zeidan & Vago (2016) found the mechanisms of mindfulness-based pain relief to be distinct from placebo, and associated with the experience level of meditators. Less than a week of mindfulness training can reduce subjective pain intensity and unpleasantness.

Improves mood

Mindfulness training holds promise for treating mood disorders partly because it may lead to changes in patients' brains, improving connectivity among some brain areas and changing tissue density in key regions, research suggests. "Mindfulness changes the brain by allowing people to access this present-moment pathway...This is vitally important for working with sad mood states." Zindel Segal, PhD

Chronic inflammation is at the core of many health problems, including heart disease, cancer, depression and diabetes. Mindfulness meditation is shown to lower inflammatory cytokines, specifically interleukin-6, which is a biomarker that can indicate unhealthy levels of inflammation in the body.

Treatment and Diagnosis of heavy metal toxicity, toxic mold exposure, chronic infections, and gastrointestinal problems

Environmental toxins such as heavy metals, toxic mold and chronic infections are often overlooked by standard medical practitioners. Gastrointestinal problems can occur from complex relationships between our body, our microbiome and our environment. These conditions often manifest with a myriad of symptoms which don’t fit well in a brief medical visit and don’t respond to a simple prescription. We offer advanced diagnostic and integrative treatment protocols that are not commonly available. These treatments, often Naturopathic, have restored the health of many patients who were otherwise hopeless in our contemporary medical system.
