Department of Stress, Anxiety & Burnout · East to West Wellness Center
Wired, tired, burned out or flat?
Therapy and medication help many people. But when anxiety, low mood or burnout come with poor sleep, hunger or digestive symptoms, the body side may need attention too.
Sound familiar?
If this is you, you’re in the right place
- You feel wired and tired at the same time
- Anxiety gets worse with hunger or poor sleep
- Motivation and mood have noticeably dropped
- A long stretch of stress left you burned out
- Racing heart, tight chest or a nervous stomach appears
What medicine does well, and what it wasn’t built for
Why it keeps coming back
Therapy and medication work on the mind and brain chemistry, and they matter. But the body can also keep the stress response active. Blood-sugar crashes can release adrenaline, gut inflammation can affect mood and an altered cortisol rhythm can keep the nervous system on edge.
That’s the part we work on. We don’t replace your doctor. We optimize the systems underneath, your metabolism, mitochondria and immune response, so your body can do what it’s built to do: heal and stay well.
Systems biology, applied to Stress, Anxiety & Burnout
The three systems we see most often
Cortisol and the stress response
A stress system stuck in fight-or-flight can keep the body alert and depleted.
Blood sugar
Blood-sugar crashes can trigger adrenaline, which can feel like anxiety.
Gut and inflammation
The gut makes many mood-related signals, and inflammation can affect mood.
Systems we check in every stress, anxiety & burnout evaluation:
Diagnosis decides what we fix. If a system tests fine, we leave it alone and put your time and money where it matters.
How we fix it
In the order that matters
Calm the nervous system
Reduce the body’s fight-or-flight response.
Steady blood sugar

What we measure
Your numbers, re-tested
We only order what would change your plan, and we tell you up front which tests may be covered.
Our tools
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture, clinical nutrition, medical-grade supplements and herbal prescriptions, moxibustion and red light. When you need more, our physician partners and your own specialists are part of the plan.
What patients say
★★★★★… Everyone in the entire office is so comforting and warm, which has also gone a long way for me in alleviating the anxiety I feel around my medical conditions. I could write a novel (and clearly I am!), so I'll just end by saying the HUGEST thank you to Greg, Marisa, Payton, Desiree, Kate, and Hannah for the best care. I'm forever grateful that you're part of my medical team!
Jennifer H. · Google review, 2026-03
★★★★★… I started treatment almost two years ago, first to help manage my anxiety and chronic neck pain, which smoothly transitioned into hormone balancing and fertility. I got pregnant shortly after starting those treatments, and continued to come in for weekly visits in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, which is extremely beneficial for both fetal development and my mental health. …

★★★★★… Not only is Greg extremely knowledgeable, but his warmth and compassion go a long way in alleviating the anxiety I feel around my conditions. Greg is persistent and determined, willing to keep working on a challenging case like mine, which kept me from feeling defeated many times! …

Our offer
A personalized care plan, backed by your own markers
Every department offers the same thing: a time-based plan built for your issue. Testing, mapping where the problem started, a written plan, treatments, clinical nutrition, and supplement and herbal prescriptions, all aimed at your issue instead of piecemeal visits. Acupuncture is our super-specialty, and many plans work with or without it.
| East to West care plan | One-size protocol | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s built | From your testing and your history | The same steps for everyone with the same complaint |
| What it targets | The systems underneath, in the order that matters for you | The symptom you walked in with |
| How you know it’s working | Markers agreed up front, re-tested | You guess |
| What backs it | Progress Guarantee tied to those markers | Nothing |
| What you take home | A System Map and a roadmap for you and your doctors | A product list |
Every plan comes with our Progress Guarantee. Before we start, we agree on the markers we’ll track: your symptom score plus two or three lab or clinical markers that can realistically change. If you’ve done your part and we haven’t hit them in your plan’s time frame, we keep working with you at a reduced rate or add complimentary care. We promise the work and the measurement, not a cure.

The one place to start
Plans, not protocols. It starts with your Systems Biology Evaluation.
You know you have the problem. What nobody has shown you is how your symptom ties back to your metabolism, inflammation and immune system. That connection is our specialty.
- We map your chief complaint back to every system driving it.
- We decide which tests you actually need, and tell you which may be covered and which aren’t.
- We lay out your plan and timeline, with options for how many treatments and how long.
- You leave with your one-page System Map: where the problem sits, which systems are involved, and how we’ll address each one, in order.
Sometimes the answer is simple. If it’s a local problem, you may only need acupuncture, and we’ll tell you that.

We may review salivary cortisol, A1c, fasting insulin, a full thyroid panel, ferritin, B12, vitamin D and the gut microbiome.

Do you replace my doctor?
No. Medication, surgery and specialist care do important work. We work alongside your medical team on the systems underneath, and we never ask you to stop a prescribed medication; that’s a conversation with your prescriber.
