I have had the pleasure of getting to know Buddy and the team at PEAK. This could be a very long winded review due to all of the great things I have to say, but I will try to sum it up. The team at PEAK medicine are reinventing the way you should look at your health program. They have a full spectrum approach to the way you manage your health and it is one of the best programs in the country. I will stand behind those words! If you are considering, or are even the slightest bit interested in, getting healthier or want to pursue various health/nutrition goals.... you HAVE TO go visit with PEAK medicine and see what they can do for you. You will not be disappointed! Keep up the good work guys!

Great place! I came here back in June upon the recommendation of Iron Mind Counseling as I was having very bad anxiety and health issues as well. They offer great comprehensive blood work and even pointed me towards a blood serum mycotoxin test as I knew I likely was having mold illness. From both blood works I got the confirmation that I really needed to jump on this! And I likely would have kept pushing it off and dealing with it with the doctors I had been seeing in the past who weren’t offering the right tests or treatments. I’m glad that by going here I have come to find that there is an affordable way to treat this and I don’t have to keep jumping through hoops! Highly recommend!

I LOVE PEAK and all the staff. I have some challenges with anxiety and they are all so accommodating with me. They respond in a timely manner, I never feel rushed thru appointments and when I bring up a concern no matter how far fetched it might seem, they talk me thru why it could or couldn't be that issue. Highly recommend

While we do have our "regular" doctor/PCP with a large local health system, we have been delighted with PEAK and its staff and programs. They have helped us learn more about consequences of personal choices with nutrition, have a great medical staff and nutrition health coaches. If you are looking for supplemental medical help or even full time, this is the place to go. Along with Healthy Habits Organic store we have both attained better habits, better health outcomes and better understanding of how to properly monitor our health. Check them out.

I cannot say enough about Peak Integrative.This is the future of healthcare.Instead of just telling you what is wrong they actually look into what could be your issue and how to treat it instead of promoting some new off the wall pharmaceutical products to sell you in hopes you feel better. All starts with you and your body and the mindset.. First you do a discussion of your health and concerns. Bloodwork testing in all areas to see where to start and finding what could be wrong with you. Available chat sessions and very quick to respond to any issues you may have. Definitely try Peak . Maybe the game changer you need to a healthier and happy lifestyle.

Can't say enough about the incredible experience that I had today at Peak Integrative Medicine. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. Buddy Touchinsky was wonderful, he spent an ample amount of time going over options and making several suggestions to help my son. This practice deserves 10 stars!!! I highly recommend this practice.

Peak Integrative Medicine is by far the best practice in the area. The facilities are beautiful and comfortable. I love not being rushed through appointments to meet a quota. I feel heard and understood. My other doctors have made me feel like my issues are in my head. Well, my in depth blood work panel says otherwise. Christin was very thorough during my intake appointment and made sure all of my concerns were addressed. Buddy has been great for Chiropractic care. The practice offers a large variety of treatment options worth checking out. Invest in your health before it’s too late!

Thyroid problems like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are hard to understand and often happen because of problems with the immune system, not getting the right balance of nutrients, or stress from the environment.

Levothyroxine (T4 replacement) is still the main treatment for hypothyroidism. However, integrative care helps the body’s systems work better, which makes metabolism, mood, energy, and immune balance better.

Immune system cells

At PEAK Integrative Medicine, we look at thyroid health from a functional and holistic perspective. This means finding the real problems and helping the body stay strong over time, not just giving it new hormones.

Testing: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and autoimmune markers are all part of advanced thyroid testing. This specific testing helps us customize hormone treatments to your body, whether they are T4-only, T4/T3, or natural desiccated thyroid.

Nutritional Foundation: To help your hormone production and balance, we encourage a diet that is low in inflammation and high in nutrients. Be aware of vitamin D, B12, iodine, selenium, and zinc, as well as omega-3s.

Autoimmune Support: Immune system support for Hashimoto’s includes foods and nutrients that may help lower TPO antibodies and may reduce the severity of symptoms.

Gut Optimization: Probiotics, lifestyle changes, and staying away from endocrine disruptors can all help your gut health, lower inflammation, and help your thyroid detox.

PEAK Integrative Medicine can help you stay healthy and full of energy for a long time with our personalized integrative thyroid plans. This is true whether you have hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s inflammation, or just want to speed up your metabolism and give yourself more energy.
