Can Acupuncture help with Gluten and Dairy Intolerance?!

FInd out how i help my patient better her life thru my allergy elimination techniques!

“Thank you Sung for literally changing my life for the better! About 6 years ago I reached out to Sung because I had severe pain in my feet from running cross country. I also was experiencing stomach pains every time I ate due to a severe gluten and dairy intolerance. Over time Sung used acupuncture practices on my feet to alleviate pain and swelling. In addition to this I went through allergy elimination treatments for my severe gluten and dairy intolerance. I saw results in my feet after only a few treatments! And then less than a year later I was able to report that my gluten and dairy intolerance was gone! Fast forward to present day I am happier and healthier than ever. Proof of Sung’s magic is that I just completed a half marathon in 1 hour and 36 minutes with no pain. I can now also eat the food I want without the worry that I will feel sick afterword. Thank you Sung for all that you do!”

The Smoothie Lifestyle

The Smoothie Lifestyle
For those who struggle with dietary restrictions, such as food allergies or medical conditions, it can be stressful to prep a healthy breakfast during busy mornings. Luckily a patient of Acuharmony, Kelli Halligan, has created a solution to help ease meal preparation for this select group of people. Her solution was to create a smoothie company called Simply Sblended Smoothies (http://www.simplysblendedsmoothies.com/) that delivers 7 days of fresh, prepped, and individually portioned smoothie ingredients to your door. Customers will have the ability to work with a nutritionist to create an order of 7 smoothie kits (1 kit for each day of the week) that can fit whatever dietary restrictions and lifestyle goals they want. And above all else the kits are super simple to use! All someone has to do is open a kit, put the fresh and prepped ingredients into the blender, and enjoy!
Kelli first reached out to Acuharmony about six years ago because she was suffering with allergies and has since seen so many benefits from acupuncture and created a much healthier lifestyle for herself! Her goal now is to help people that suffer from inconveniences related to their dietary restrictions feel as great and stress-free as she now does! So join the smoothie lifestyle and check out http://www.simplysblendedsmoothies.com/.
