Acupuncture

A key component of TCM, acupuncture is a powerful tool to balance energy to correct symptoms and treat chronic conditions such as pain, addiction, allergies, insomnia and much more. Acupuncture uses extremely thin needles to painlessly stimulate strategic points on your body that affect your body’s energy and balance your natural defenses and blood flow.

IV Nutrition Therapy

Often, oral supplements (and even nutrition from food) simply cannot reach the target destinations in your body — your cells. Intravenous nutrition therapy is the best alternative to ensuring that your nutritional supplements do reach their intended targets. IV Nutrition Therapy can help people with chronic stress, cancer, colitis, IBS, and a host of other problems that stem from or are aggravated by a lack of good nutrition. IV nutrition has also been shown in studies to reduce post-operative complications by up to 50%.

Thermography

Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (a.k.a. Thermography) screens the body for temperature changes on the skin and is FDA-approved as an adjunct for the early detection of breast cancer, and has been a tool of medicine for the past 70 years.  While mammography remains the gold standard, thermograms can detect abnormal tissue due to temperature changes. Thermography can detect these changes before the cancer develops! Thermography is most commonly used on the breasts for detecting abnormalities but can be used on the head, neck and torso to detect other early indications of risk of disease.

Transcendental Meditation

Want to get rid of that “brain fog,” increase your immune defenses, reduce blood pressure, or decrease anxiety or depression? Then allow Dr. Riobe to guide you through meditative techniques that have been shown in studies to be effective. Many chronic illnesses result from or are aggravated by stress and anxiety, which can be alleviated through meditation. Decreased memory and focus can also be relieved by meditation.

Personalized Nutrition Services

You are what you eat — You’ve heard that since you were a toddler! Today, we have hectic lifestyles that lead us to fast food, processed foods, and poor eating habits. Most of us don’t get the bare minimum that even the FDA recommends. Many of us are developing allergies or sensitivities to certain foods such as wheat and dairy and don’t even know it. These modern-day hurdles require us to be more cognizant of what we (and our children) are putting in our bodies. The Riobe Institute can escort you through the chaos of nutrition.

Cellular Based Testing

Your body functions from the level of its cells. This is why blood work is typically normal despite the presence of sometimes debilitating symptoms. Recent technological developments make it possible to drill down to the level of your cells to determine many parameters not available through blood work. Dr. Riobe is specifically trained to interpret cellular based cutting-edge testing to help determine the causes of symptoms and conditions. Using urine, saliva, blood cells, and stool samples, cellular testing can show cellular metabolic disturbances, immune system dysfunction, cellular damage, nutrient deficits and much more that blood work and conventional testing simply can’t see.

Weight Loss Program

Many of us go through life dieting to try to lose those “love handles”, that “beer gut” or the bloated feeling and look we have. Diagnosing the real cause of weight gain is the key to losing weight. Without understanding the root cause of your failure to lose weight, despite constant efforts, you won’t successfully lose it. The Riobe Institute will put you on a personalize nutrition plan that also uses acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, detoxification, and even meditation to steer you to permanent weight loss.

Cancer Risk Reduction

Do you know your personal risk of cancer? The Riobe Institute can help you understand your personal risk and design a personalized risk-reduction strategy. Everything from nutrition to toxins to anxiety affects your likelihood of developing cancer. Dr. Riobe expertly leads her patients to a lifestyle based in naturally restoring balance in mind, body and spirit, that helps reduce the risk of cancer.
