Become a Patient

Identifying and correcting the root cause of your disease through testing, therapies, and treatments that address your body, mind, and spirit is the only real way to heal. Becoming a Shine Health and Wellness patient provides you access to one of the most innovative functional and integrative health programs available. In just four steps, you can be on your way to optimal wellness.

Your initial appointment with Dr. Shine will include a comprehensive physical examination using the InBody device. This body composition analysis evaluates your body fat percentage, muscle mass, and water content in just minutes.

During your next visit, Dr. Shine will review your lab results and body composition analysis to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Developed in collaboration with our lifestyle educator, your plan may include nutritional recommendations, supplementation, exercise programs, detoxification, and other targeted treatments. The Metagenics 5R program will also be discussed as a starting point for treatment.

Dr. Shine and her team will provide you with the tools and resources you need to implement your personalized health plan successfully. To begin, you will participate in the GI Restoration Program. The goal of the program is to improve the performance of your GI system to influence the health of your body overall, and involves the following five steps:

1. Remove harmful substances from your diet while using targeted nutrition to remove toxins and other unwanted compounds from the body.
2. Replace digestive enzymes and stomach acid through supplementation to help your digestive system break down food and eliminate it from the body.
3. Reinoculate the GI tract with probiotics (friendly bacteria) to support GI tissue, your immune system, and intestinal barrier function.
4. Regenerate the GI mucosa through diet, supplementation, and lifestyle changes to prevent harmful substances, such as bad bacteria or pathogens, from entering the bloodstream.
5. Retain the health and function of your digestive system with nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management.

Dr. Shine and the entire Shine Health and Wellness team look forward to helping you on your journey to optimal wellness. To schedule your first appointment or discuss our integrative and functional medicine program, please contact our office at 626-317-0207 or request a callback online.
