Patient Stories of Transformation

Dr. Gina is absolutely wonderful. I was looking for help regarding fertility issues my husband and I were having and getting very little from my OBGYN at the time. I was so lucky to have a good friend who knew Dr. Gina and was even more blessed to have the opportunity to talk with her. Right away Dr. Gina’s compassion and knowledge shined. She put me at great ease and justified my feelings over our experiences. She diagnoses and aids with extreme expertise but also a lot of heart to get to the root of any patients ailments. She is very clear with her explanations and empowers you with real knowledge of how the body works so you know exactly how you are tackling a situation and why. But truly the most unique and important thing I can mention is how much time she gives her patients and how quickly she responds. From the littlest of questions to big panicked worries, I was in awe of her calm, kind energy and expediency to answer emails or calls and check in all the time. Dr. Gina truly treats you like family instead of a clinical chart and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a Fertility Specialist or any of the other services she provides.

Dr, Gina and Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness literally changed my life for the better. I first went to Dr, Gina for fertility because I was wondering why I was not getting pregnant when there was seemingly no medical issues. Together we got to the root of the underlying anxiety and insomnia issues that were causing major hormonal imbalances through doing detailed blood chemistry analysis and comprehensive hormone analysis, combined with simultaneously evaluating and diagnosing me from the Chinese Medical perspective. Correcting those imbalances would create a much more comfortable home for a baby to grow.

She worked with me by integrating Western Functional Medicine with acupuncture, prescribing customized Chinese herbal therapy and coaching me on diet and lifestyle changes. She also had me on a targeted and personalized supplement protocols that was based my labs. It was all so methodical and mapped out for me.

I almost immediately noticed a difference. I was able to successfully go off the antidepressant I was taking. I had WAY more energy, I was sleeping better, my skin looked great and I dropped 10 lbs without any effort.

Eight months after I first saw Dr. Gina, I found out I was pregnant! After my husband, she was the very next person I told. I had a very healthy pregnancy and delivery and soon after, I delivered the most perfect little girl. My family moved out of state last year and my visits with Dr. Gina are one of the biggest things I miss about Denver. I don’t know that I’ll ever meet a practitioner like her again but I will sure try! In the meantime, anything I put in my mouth, any medicine or vitamin I take, I always stop to think ‘what would Dr. Gina say.’

I started going to Dr. Gina about three years ago after being unable to conceive for several years. My husband and I had been through several medical interventions, and nothing seemed to be working. My doctor recommended that I look into acupuncture, so I searched for an acupuncturist near me and found Healing Traditions and Dr. Gina and I’m so glad I did!

At my first appointment, I explained that I was really nervous about needles, and Dr. Gina put me at ease. At each appointment, she would take the time to really listen to me. She would explain what we were treating and why, and how it was viewed in both western and eastern philosophies.

I won’t say that the process was easy or quick, but it was effective. She got me looking at my body and lifestyle in a whole new light, and completely changed how I live, think, and eat. It was hard at first to make these changes to my diet and harder still to start thinking positively about my situation, but I feel so much healthier now! And — best of all — I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Dr. Gina is one of the kindest, most supportive, and most knowledgeable medical professionals I have ever met. I recommend anyone struggling with fertility issues to give Dr. Gina and Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness a call.

My husband and I tried to conceive for approximately 3 years. One year we just tried and tired, with no intervention and no success. The second year we went to a fertility group and began our endless tests to determine what was wrong. After about 1 year, a lot of money, tons of drugs that I needed to take orally and inject myself with and 2 rounds of IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), we were again unsuccessful and the doctors had no reason why. I learned of Dr. Gina and Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness through a friend from work. She told me about Dr. Gina and that she sees her to help manage her pain but she said she always hears and sees woman who are either pregnant or trying to get pregnant, coming and going from the office when she has her appointments. She told me Dr. Gina’s reputation was very good in helping with infertility.

At this very time, I was looking for a Chinese Medicine Dr/group to seek treatment through. I had heard through friends that Eastern Medicine can sometimes be successful with infertility. I was so happy for the referral but had no idea what was to come. When I first met with Dr. Gina and discussed our difficulty and desires, I automatically felt like I had found a medical professional who would hear me. She gave me so much time (at every appointment actually) and so much attention. It was a bit unfamiliar to be honest! There was a lot of work to do, she explained, and the more I stuck to my prescribed protocol, the better the outcome would be.

I first started seeing Dr. Gina when I had recently begun suffering from severe insomnia. I had always been a great sleeper, but out of nowhere, I was unable to fall asleep or stay asleep. I was getting only 1-3 hours of sleep a night, and it was beginning to affect my physical, mental and emotional well-being. I didn’t know where to turn, so I first went to my general practitioner. She only prescribed me sleeping pills, which I was not interested in taking. I wanted to find a more natural way of dealing with this problem, and that is when I decided to try acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. From the first time I spoke with Dr. Gina over the phone and heard how kind and understanding she was, I knew that was the right decision. At my initial consult, Dr. Gina took the time to learn about me and my health history. I was so used to seeing a doctor for 5-10 minutes, that I couldn’t believe the time Dr. Gina spent with me. Instead of giving me a pill to solve the symptoms of my problem, she was able to get to the root of the problem and treat the deficiency that was causing me to not be able to sleep. Dr. Gina gave me acupuncture treatments and prescribed me a custom herbal formula. After several weeks, I was once again sleeping through the night. Although it took a little bit of time to balance things out, I felt much better doing that than taking sleeping pills. Since that time, I have continued to see Dr. Gina. I have had two children, and Dr. Gina has helped me through the postpartum periods for both. She is incredibly knowledgeable on health, nutrition, and combining Chinese medicine with Functional medicine. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Gina. I truly believe that she has helped me more than any other health care provider, and I trust her completely. We are very fortunate to have such a talented practitioner in our area.

I sought out Dr. Gina’s services after being unable to conceive for two years. I had been with two practitioners prior to Dr. Gina, and knew from the beginning, she was exceptionally different and had so much passion for what she does.

The road we traveled was not always easy and she told me from the beginning that if I followed what she recommended, I will get my desired result. She had more confidence and faith in me than I did in myself at times. This journey was an emotional roller coaster, but Dr. Gina was always there cheering me on, and provided me with all the resources to succeed.

Our story had the best ending it could, Avery Kathryn was born in February, 2013. We are extremely appreciative for what Dr. Gina and Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness did for us. There are not enough words to express our gratitude.

For anyone out there struggling with fertility issues, I highly recommend seeking out the services that Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness can provide. We are only one couple out of many that had a happy ending. I guarantee that you cannot find a more hard working, compassionate doctor and clinic out there truly dedicated to restoring health in women and helping bring healthy and beautiful babies into this world.

My treatments of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine with Dr. Gina have help me tremendously. I have seen Dr. Gina for several ailments, including a broken elbow, low back injury, body heat, irregular periods, extreme PMS, and everyday health. The treatments to my elbow opened blockages and healed the area in 3 weeks. Orthopedics were amazed and shocked. My body heat and PMS have subsided remarkably. Dr. Gina as a practitioner, is a warm, caring and knowledgable physician dedicated to solving her patient's health issues.

We had been trying to get pregnant for about 4 years prior to doing acupuncture with Dr. Gina. We exhausted all the medical options prior to IVF but didn’t want to go there, and had also tried to get pregnant via other holistic methods.

We felt very comfortable with Dr. Gina from the start. First of all, the environment she creates is so soothing and comforting (which was a major issue I had with the first acupuncturist I went to). Second, she is just so personable and genuine. My husband and I are truly grateful to have found Dr. Gina. Nine months of treatment with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, combined with Dr. Gina’s prescribed nutritional supplements, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, I became pregnant. I would say it took a lot of commitment on my part (but as anybody who’s been trying to get pregnant would know, you are willing to do anything); it wasn’t just about the acupuncture, herbs and supplements, it was also Dr. Gina’s passion, experience, knowledge, commitment, and belief in the integrated medical and wellness approach she implements, that helped me start my family. I am also so happy and fortunate to have seen Dr. Gina for acupuncture treatment during my pregnancy. I truly believe that it helped my pregnancy and labor go smoothly. My husband and I continue to tell everyone we know that is dealing with unexplained infertility to seek help from Dr. Gina and Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness. – Sincerely, Jessica T

I have worked with Dr. Gina for the past 7 years for menopausal issues and hypothyroidism. She was the first one to discover I had an under active thyroid and helped me choose the most appropriate thyroid medication, as well as, guided me on the specific supplements that would further support my thyroid health. She coached me with diet and lifestyle and I learned things from Dr. Gina that no one previously had explained to me. Dr. Gina has such a supportive and compassionate nature to her, listening intently to my every complaint and or worry and always empowering me with education and providing me with actionable steps I can be taking with my health. I would at a loss with my health if it worn't for finding and working with Dr. Gina.

I was referred to Dr. Gina by my neighbor who had been going to her for years. My neighbor and I would go on walks where we would discuss her treatment with Dr. Gina. I would pick my neighbor's brain every time we would get together, leading me to finally reaching out to Healing Traditions Integrated Wellness and Dr. Gina. Dr. Gina made me feel like I was her only patient, always being so generous with her time and patient with my millions of questions. I first started seeing Dr. Gina for thyroid issues that weren't being fully addressed by my primary care doctor. She recommended I look into different thyroid hormone medication alternatives, which resulted in me finally getting on the right medication which changed so much for me. I finally wasn't waking up feeling like a zombie, never feeling like I could get enough sleep. She also helped me modify my diet and learn how to choose foods that optimized and supported my health, especially my blood sugar which also often tended to be borderline high. Within a year of working with Dr. Gina all my labs normalized to the point my primary doc asked what I had been doing. I of course told him all about Dr. Gina and Healing Traditions. After working with Dr. Gina for two years, my family and I moved out of Colorado for 5 years and then returned in 2021. Once we moved back to Colorado, I immediately booked a consult with Dr. Gina as I had been suffering from all the lovely symptoms that come along with being peri-menopausal. Once again, Dr. Gina put my mind at ease, armed me with information and dispelled all the misinformation surrounding HRT. Like usual, she ran a gamut of labs on me and checked my hormone levels and to no surprise, my hormone levels were tanked. From there, she made a game plan for me and I haven't looked back yet. She has inspired me and empowered me to become my own self advocate which has been worth it's weight in gold. I thought enduring and suffering through peri-menopause was normal and just a part of "getting older". Dr. Gina explained the importance of starting and staying on HRT and that "toughing out" my night sweats, sleepless nights, crazy brain fog and weight gain that came out of no where, was not an option anymore. She taught me that those symptoms were my alarm bells to larger and more complicated issues down the road if I didn't get myself on the proper HRT and support my body was needing at this stage of life. Don't know what I would have done without Dr. Gina all these years.

I originally started seeing Dr. Gina for shoulder and low back issues. She is awesome treating sport and musculoskeletal issues and her acupuncture treatments for my back and shoulder pain helped me tremendously. The acupuncture treatments on my shoulder greatly speed up my recovery from a rotator cuff surgery. During one of my visits when Dr. Gina goes through and asks about general health issues, I had mentioned that I was loosing a ton of hair, gaining weight even though I was working out almost daily, felt like I could never get enough sleep to quench my chronic fatigue and always felt cold to the point I would sit in front of my space heater during the summer. She recommended that we run some lab work on me and look at a thorough thyroid panel. I had just had my blood work ran by my PCP a few months prior to this and brought in those labs to her. My TSH was 3.2 and my doctor told me "everything looked fine". That was the only thyroid marker he ordered and measured on me. Dr. Gina explained that she liked to run and look at thyroid panels that included multiple markers and not just the TSH. However, she did also explain that a TSH of 3.2 was well "out of the functional range" but still within the "laboratory range" so was considered, "normal" by general allopathic standards. Once we got my lab results back from the labs Dr. Gina ran on me, they revealed that not only did I have a very under active thyroid, but that my labs showed I was positive for thyroid anti-bodies, revealing that I had an underlying autoimmune process attacking my thyroid, aka, "Hashimoto's. Dr. Gina explained that there is a genetic piece underlying Hashimoto's and that it often runs in family lines. This made total sense to me as my mother and both my grandmothers had hypothyroidism. I was finally able to start putting all the pieces to my health mysteries together. Dr. Gina helped guide me in choosing the best thyroid medication to request from my doctor. She also curated an entire personalized dietary and supplement protocol for me, as well as, helped me resolve chronic GI issues (H. Pylori and Parasites) I had since traveling abroad, which I believe was also crucial to my healing, in addition to the thyroid medication. It took me about 9 months to fully get myself dialed in with the proper medication dosage. Once my medication dosage was finally dialed in, I began to feel what it felt like to have proper thyroid hormone levels. I could finally think straight and actually felt rested after a normal 7-8 hours of sleep. This was after literally years of never feeling good or right. I also realized how many of my health issues I was trying to bring to my doctor were being flat out dismissed... Forever Grateful for all Dr. Gina has done for me and helped me with.

"My husband and I tried to conceive for approximately 3 years. One year we just tried and tired, with no intervention and no success. The second year we went to a fertility group and began our endless tests to determine what was wrong. After about 1 year, a lot of money, tons of drugs that I needed to take orally and inject myself with and 2 rounds of IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), we were again unsuccessful and the doctors had no reason why.

She told me Dr. Gina’s reputation was very good in helping with infertility.

At this very time, I was looking for a Chinese Medicine Dr/group to seek treatment through. I had heard through friends that Eastern Medicine can sometimes be successful with infertility. I was so happy for the referral but had no idea what was to come. When I first met with Dr. Gina and discussed our difficulty and desires, I automatically felt like I had found a medical professional who would hear me. She gave me so much time (at every appointment actually) and so much attention. It was a bit unfamiliar to be honest! There was a lot of work to do, she explained, and the more I stuck to my prescribed protocol, the better the outcome would be.

I needed to change my diet to more clean, green and healthy intake. I needed to implement more protein and fat into my diet, as well as, lessen my alcohol, my sugar, gluten, my caffeine (and by lessen, I mean if you could cut it out fully that was great but……..I got really close though)!

I was to start on customized herbal formulas that I took throughout my cycle, as well as, nutritional supplements that she prescribed and that I would be on (some) for the majority of our work together. Dr. Gina had her work cut out for her too! She explained that she needed to clean out my body/system of not only all of the junk I put in it with the “unclean” food I ate, but of the Western Medicines hormones and medicine they put into my body over the past year as well. Then, she explained, she would begin to build up my system, in the areas that was determined I was lacking (through her bi-weekly analysis). These words I will never forget: She said it would take about 5-6 months to clear my system out and begin building it up to help create and support a baby. From month 5 or so she would begin treating me specifically for the infertility. She explained that if we are not successful by month 10 or so, she would probably discontinue the treatment.

Meanwhile, my husband and I began our search for adoption agencies and even chose one to go through. They had a waiting list of 1 year. We put our name on it. It seemed like a sign. We agreed that we would give 1 year to Chinese and Functional Medicine, while we wait for our name to come up on the waiting list with our adoption agency. What harm could it do? We weren’t 100% sold on Dr, Gina's integrative medical approach (Eastern + Functional Medicine) but we were going to give it a shot, out last and final one to biologically have a child.

I jumped in full force, as did Dr. Gina. I was pretty meticulous about my diet change and cooked my herbs Dr. Gina prescribed, took my supplements, and tracked my basal body temperature as she taught me. I read the books and searched the internet for articles and information that she told me about. I also began the acupuncture sessions. We had bi-weekly hour long appointments where she would assess my progress, etc. and she would determine where her focus and treatment needed to be each time. 4 months into our treatment and work together, I had become pregnant! 4 months!!! Dr. Gina was as happy as I was and she began to treat me now for a healthy pregnancy.

After my first trimester, the baby appeared safe and sound, and she sent me on my way. I saw her towards the end of my pregnancy for her assistance in getting my body prepared for birth and delivery, etc. I must finish by saying what a firm believer and receiver of Eastern Medicine combined with Functional Medicine I now am. Not only because of what Dr. Gina helped me/us achieve, but because of how the changes and the treatment made me feel as a whole. I felt so much better, physically and mentally, when following the protocol and it spilled over because at 40 years old, I had the best and easiest pregnancy, labor and delivery than anyone I know! Now, we have been given the wonderful gift of a little, healthy, beautiful, fun, happy, calm, sweet boy. We thank our journey, our God and Dr. Gina for this gift because we (my husband and our families) do not think this would have been possible without her intervention, knowledge, compassion, empathy and practice. If we had had a girl, her middle name would most definitely have been 'Gina'. "
