East-West Functional Medicine
The core of Dr. Hackett’s treatment philosophy is that the body is an open system of open systems. Our bodies’ systems are tightly integrated through a profoundly complex network of signaling systems that relate through biochemical and bioelectrical interactions that can be stimulated to shift toward better homeostasis through natural interventions.
Better fuel (nutrition and water), the right types of building blocks (herbs and supplements), and the correct stimulation (acupuncture and NIR) can help restore, revitalize, and bring the body into a better homeostasis or the “Zhong” or The Center Pivot in Chinese Medicine. The idea of the central pivot of health and being is at the very foundation of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It is called the Zhong [中 ] in the classic TCM literature. There is an aspect of mind, spirit, and the energetic manifestations of the body entwined in the understanding of Zhong 中 . No matter what shape you think you are in, your body has evolved for and has the biological imperative for survival. Give it what it needs to achieve a better homeostasis.
Your lab work, medical reports, and detailed health history are all integral to understanding how best to encourage your body’s systems to work better and integrate better together. The more information the better. As Dr. Hackett likes to say, “there are no ‘complaints’ here, it’s all data collection”.
Patient Testimonials
"I'm generally really healthy. I eat clean and exercise everyday. It just seems like there are so many products, so many opinions, so much noise out there. I just got tired of researching, trying different subscriptions and supplements because a friend liked it. It really cluttered up my space and took up a lot of time. Dr. Hackett curated my wellness and maintenance supplements and I feel great. I just run new things by her when I see her. Most of the time she has a better quality product at a better price. Love her."
"I'm very active. I run and play a lot of tennis. As I have gotten older, old injuries are flaring up in my shoulder, elbow, knees, and feet. I'm pain free because of Dr. Tracy's treatments. She gave me some specialized stretches to do with my regular routine which helps a lot. Now I just come in for my 'tune-ups'!"
"I had back, hip, and knee pain that was really disrupting my life. After getting the acupuncture treatments with the nearinfrared cold laser, I got real relief. My joint pain is pretty much gone since Dr. Hackett changed the supplements I was taking. I'm actually taking less stuff. I can tell the difference with the better quality supplements. I'm playing golf again and feel great."
"She really does what she says. I love the Clear and Brilliant treatments. Her serum is gorgeous! My skin looks amazing. It cleared up my acne and acne scars along with the internal medicine treatment Dr. Tracy put together for me. She based it off of my bloodwork and OAT test plus all of my health history info she asked me about. I'm very happy with my outcome."
"I suffered with debilitating fatigue. I could barely do anything. My immune system was weak, I got sick all of the time. I was so afraid during the pandemic about what might happen to me. I really went to see Dr. Hackett as a last resort. Nothing I was trying worked for very long. We did a series of tests and found out so many new things. Tracy explained the patterns she saw in me and explained the supplements so I understood why I was taking things. She changed them as my health improved. I am still healing but at least I can do normal daily tasks and not feel exhausted. She's fantastic."
"My fibroids made my life miserable. I had terrible cycles and was getting transfusions for the anemia. Dr. Hackett helped my get my cycle more regular and made sure I found the follow-up I needed to resolve the whole problem. I did get surgery, but there is no way I could have gotten some improvement to deal with this without holistic medicine."
