Department of Women’s Health & Gynecology · East to West Wellness Center
Painful, irregular or unpredictable periods with no clear next step?
You tracked your cycle, tried medication and followed medical advice. Symptoms may improve briefly, then return when the cycle starts again.
Sound familiar?
If this is you, you’re in the right place
- Irregular or missing periods
- Painful periods, pelvic pain or endometriosis
- Heavy bleeding, spotting or severe PMS
- Acne, hair changes or weight tied to your cycle
- The pill was offered as the only option
What medicine does well, and what it wasn’t built for
Why it keeps coming back
Birth control, pain relief and surgery can manage symptoms, and sometimes you need them. But they may not address what drives the cycle off track: blood sugar, inflammation and how the liver clears hormones.
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 Women’s Health & Gynecology
The three systems we see most often
Insulin resistance
A common driver of PCOS, irregular ovulation and cycle-linked weight and acne.
Inflammation
Inflammation can feed pelvic pain, endometriosis and heavy, painful periods.
Estrogen clearance through the liver
When the liver clears estrogen slowly, PMS, heavy flow and breast tenderness can follow.
Systems we check in every women’s health & gynecology 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
Steady blood sugar
Address insulin resistance and metabolic swings.
Calm inflammation and pain
Support pelvic comfort and inflammatory patterns.
Support estrogen clearance
Address liver pathways involved in hormone clearance.
Track your cycle
Measure changes over time.
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
★★★★★… At 6 weeks PP I plan to add in pelvic floor work and incorporate some deeper healing. When I say my acupuncture journey with Greg has been the gift that keeps on giving, it’s an understatement. One of the best investments I could have ever made in myself was being regimented and consistent in treatment with Greg through these last two years and it’s safe to say I’m hooked! …

★★★★★Since I could remember I’ve always wanted to become a mom. At the early age of 14, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, better know as, PCOS. I was in constant pain and never had a regular period. I remember not understanding; what does this actually mean for me? Will I be able to have children? Many years later, after being married less than a year, my husband and I couldn’t wait to have a baby! …

★★★★★… Never in my life did I have regular cycles (due to PCOS- Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome), but after just 2 months my cycles are now regular. During the first week of treatment I had an internal sonogram done with my OBGYN who confirmed I had 4 large cysts on my ovaries. Just one month after beginning treatment with Greg, 3 of the cysts completely disappeared and the 4th was very small. …

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.
