Rise Health and Wellness in Encinitas combines functional medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine from a practice on North El Camino Real. The functional-medicine intake begins with a 90-minute consultation that evaluates full thyroid panels — TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and antibodies — alongside sex hormone, adrenal, and gut-health markers, an integrative model that parallels the naturopathic approach at Gaia Naturopathic and Acupuncture Clinic. Acupuncture treatments follow Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian mapping to address pain, hormonal imbalance, and stress-response dysregulation. The clinic also utilizes Neuro Emotional Technique to identify stored somatic stress patterns, pairing that modality with the breathwork and movement practices taught at Soul of Yoga nearby. Root-cause protocols target autoimmune flares, gut permeability, and hormone disruption through advanced lab panels and bioidentical hormone therapy when indicated.
