Yes, acupuncture can be very effective for treating digestive issues. It helps by regulating the digestive system, reducing inflammation, and balancing the body’s internal environment. Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, and constipation can all respond well to acupuncture, helping you to enjoy better digestive health.

We understand how difficult getting pregnant can be for some people, not to mention the toll that the stress of it can take on your body. Acupuncture can be a valuable tool for enhancing fertility as well as aiding in the discomforts during pregnancy. It works by helping to regulate menstrual cycles, improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, and most importantly, reducing stress. All crucial factors for conception. Many patients use acupuncture alongside other fertility treatments to improve their chances of success. Call Dr. Bebell to discuss treatment options and whether or not she can help you on your path to pregnancy.

Acupuncture can be a helpful component of a comprehensive weight loss plan. It can assist by reducing stress, which often leads to overeating, and by improving digestive function and metabolism. Additionally, acupuncture can help balance hormones that influence weight gain. While it’s not a magic solution, it can support and enhance your overall weight loss efforts.

Absolutely! We understand how important it is to get those Zzzz's and acupuncture is a great natural remedy for improving sleep quality. It works by addressing underlying issues that may be disrupting your sleep, such as stress, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. Regular acupuncture treatments can help regulate your sleep patterns, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night.

Yes, children can safely receive acupuncture treatments. Pediatric acupuncture often uses smaller needles and gentle techniques specifically designed for young patients. It can effectively treat a variety of childhood ailments, such as digestive issues, allergies, and behavioral concerns, in a non-invasive and calming manner. 

One of the common concerns that new patients often have when it comes to acupuncture is whether it's painful. Well, you can breathe a sigh of relief because the answer is a resounding no! Acupuncture needles are very thin, and most people feel minimal to no pain during needle insertion. Some may experience a slight tingling or dull ache, but this sensation is typically brief.

Acupuncture is primarily used to alleviate everyday aches and discomforts such as lower back pain, muscle stiffness, tension headaches, and more. Its purpose is to treat pain, not cause it. After all, this holistic method of healing and energy restoration has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine. So, it's safe to say that it's not as intimidating as it might seem. In fact, most first-time patients find that their initial concerns about the treatment fade away as quickly as their stress and pain do.

That's a tough one. It really depends on what you're being treated for as the duration of acupuncture effects can vary widely. Some people feel immediate relief after a session, while others experience gradual improvements over time. The benefits can last for days to weeks. For chronic conditions, regular sessions might be necessary to maintain long-term benefits. Your acupuncturist will tailor your treatment plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome and, of course, give you more information about what to expect.

To get the most out of your acupuncture session, it’s best to wear loose, comfortable clothing. Have a light meal a few hours before your appointment, and try to avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your treatment. Staying hydrated is also important. Arriving with a relaxed mindset can enhance the effectiveness of the session. But no worries, if you don't arrive feeling relaxed, we're guessing that you will leave i spa feeling refreshed and in a tranquil mood.

Acupuncture is indeed safe during pregnancy and can be very beneficial. It’s often used to alleviate common pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, back pain, and fatigue. However, it’s important to see a practitioner experienced in treating pregnant patients, as certain acupoints should be avoided during pregnancy. Prior to becoming an acupuncture physician, Dr. Bebell at i spa was a pediatric critical care nurse, so rest assured, when you book an appointment with her, you and your baby are in safe and knowledgeable hands.

Meridians are like invisible highways running throughout the body, through which Qi (energy) flows. Acupuncture points are located along these meridians. When there’s a blockage or imbalance in these pathways, it can lead to health problems. Consider it like a traffic jam in your body...not fun at all. By stimulating specific points along the meridians, acupuncture aims to restore the smooth flow of Qi and promote overall health.

Acupuncture is incredibly versatile and can address a wide array of health issues. People often turn to acupuncture for chronic pain management, such as back pain, arthritis, and migraines. It’s also beneficial for stress relief, anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, and even hormonal imbalances. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual's specific needs, making it a holistic approach to health and wellness.

Both acupuncture and acupressure target the same acupoints to promote healing and balance. The key difference is the method of stimulation. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into the points, while acupressure uses manual pressure with the hands or fingers. Both methods can be effective, and the choice often depends on personal preference and the specific condition being treated.

Your first acupuncture visit will typically begin with a detailed discussion about your health history, lifestyle, and current symptoms. This helps the acupuncturist understand your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. During the session, you’ll lie comfortably while the acupuncturist gently inserts needles into specific points on your body. The needles usually stay in place for about 20-30 minutes while you relax. Many people find the experience very soothing and relaxing. During your session, Dr. Bebell can also incorporate other healing techniques such as cupping or the use of other tools, but she will discuss with you any treatments that she feels will aid in your healing journey each step of the way.

Certain medical conditions may contraindicate or require special considerations during massage. It's essential to inform your therapist about any medical issues, allergies, or medications you're taking to ensure your safety and receive appropriate treatment.

Yes, prenatal massage is specifically tailored for pregnant individuals and can help relieve common discomforts associated with pregnancy. However, it's essential to inform your therapist about your pregnancy to ensure the safety of both you and your baby.

Remember that massage therapy can be a highly personalized experience, and open communication with your therapist is key to getting the most benefit from your sessions. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific health concerns before getting a massage.

Look for licensed or certified massage therapists who have completed accredited training programs. You can ask for referrals from friends, family, or healthcare providers or check online directories or reviews.

A standard massage session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, but shorter or longer sessions are also available depending on your needs and preferences.

The frequency of massages can vary based on your individual needs and goals. Some people get massages weekly, while others may choose monthly sessions for maintenance. Your therapist can provide guidance based on your specific situation.

The level of pressure used during a massage can vary from gentle to deep. It's important to communicate your comfort level with the therapist. While some discomfort might be felt during a deep tissue massage, it should not be painful.

Massage therapy can provide a range of benefits, including stress reduction, pain relief, improved circulation, increased flexibility, reduced muscle tension, and enhanced relaxation. It can also support recovery from injuries and promote better sleep.

There are numerous massage modalities, each with its own techniques and benefits. Common types include Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, sports massage, aromatherapy massage, and hot stone massage, among others.

Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. It is often used for relaxation, pain relief, and improving overall well-being.

During a massage, you can expect to lie on a comfortable table while the therapist uses various techniques to manipulate your muscles and soft tissues. You can communicate your preferences regarding pressure and areas of focus.

Most people undress to their comfort level. You'll be properly draped with a sheet or towel during the session, and only the area being worked on will be exposed. Your therapist will respect your preferences and ensure your privacy and comfort.

The short answer is yes, but it's not necessary in order to lose weight. Your coach will advise you based on the amount of exercise that you do now. Light to moderate exercise is typically allowed and encouraged during the program. However, if you participate in intense or strenuous workouts, we may need to modify the intensity for the first few weeks, just until your body adjusts to the program. Your coach will advise you based on your energy levels and dietary intake while ensuring that you eat a sufficient amount of protein to maintain your muscle mass.

The protocol involves a phased approach that starts with a strict low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet. Participants typically consume Ideal Protein products and whole foods. As they progress through the phases, they gradually reintroduce a wider variety of foods while learning about portion control and making healthier choices.

Ideal Protein and the traditional ketogenic diet might seem similar, but they have some key differences. While the classic keto diet is low in carbs and moderate in protein, it’s known for being high in fats. Ideal Protein, on the other hand, focuses on a low-carb, low-fat approach with just the right amount of protein to maintain muscle.

Many people also try to follow a keto diet on their own, but the challenge with DIY keto plans is that they often lack proper guidance and a long-term plan. This can lead to losing muscle mass and regaining the weight after you stop the diet.

Ideal Protein stands out as a unique low-fat ketogenic program that not only helps you burn fat but also promotes quick and lasting weight loss. With its medically developed three-phase plan, paired with one-on-one coaching, it helps you lose weight and more importantly, teaches you how to keep it off.

Weight loss results can vary depending on factors such as starting weight, adherence to the program, and individual metabolism. On average, participants may lose 2-5 pounds per week during the initial phases. We've had patients lose 11 pounds a week consistently, although this is not the norm. It greatly depends on things such as your muscle mass, the amount of weight you have to lose and whether or not you follow the plan. At your first consultation, your weight loss coach will discuss with you what you can expect in greater detail.

Yes, it’s super important to eat everything on the Ideal Protein protocol, even if you’re not feeling hungry. Once your body enters ketosis, your hunger decreases, and it might seem like skipping meals will speed up weight loss—but that’s not the case. In fact, skipping meals can slow down your progress.

The diet is carefully designed to ensure you're getting the right nutrients to support your lean muscle mass and steady weight loss. Plus, eating all your veggies and salads helps keep you feeling full, supports digestion, and provides essential nutrients.

So, if you skip meals or snacks, it could actually slow your weight loss. It’s best to stick to the plan to get the results you’re after!

The Ideal Protein Protocol is considered safe when followed under the guidance of a trained healthcare professional. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, and individual medical and health factors should be considered before starting the program.

The Ideal Protein Protocol is a medically developed and supervised weight loss program that emphasizes high-quality protein intake and controlled carbohydrate consumption to promote fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass.

Alcohol isn’t allowed during Phases 1 and 2 of the program, and it’s really important to avoid it while you’re in ketosis.

When you're in ketosis, your liver is working hard to convert fatty acids into ketones for energy, and it’s also busy making glucose from protein (and sometimes fats) for organs that need it. On top of all that, your liver still has its regular jobs to do.

Your body considers alcohol as something toxic, and when you drink it, your liver shifts its focus to getting rid of the alcohol, putting other tasks like making glucose for your brain and other organs that need it on hold. This can cause low blood sugar, which can be extremely risky or even life-threatening.

Figuring out your skin type is pretty simple! If your skin feels tight and flaky, it’s likely dry. If it gets shiny soon after washing, it’s probably oily. Combination skin will have some areas that are oily and others that are dry, while normal skin is well-balanced—not too oily or dry. Just pay attention to how your skin feels and behaves!

Most people know to wear sunscreen on sunny summer days or if you’re spending the day at the beach, but should you wear it every day, even on cloudy days and in the winter? Dermatologists and other experts say YES, you should wear sunscreen every day. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, even when it’s cloudy, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV radiation reaches the earth. Going unprotected on an overcast day can lead to skin damage, increase your risk of skin cancers, and lead to premature aging.

Look for skin care products such as a moisturizer that already includes sunscreen and that protects you from both UVA and UVG rays. That way it'll be gentle on your face and block all those skin-damaging rays.

Keep it simple and use a gentle cleanser to wash your face, a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated, and don’t forget sunscreen during the day. Once you’ve got that down, you can add in extras like serums or exfoliants depending on what your skin needs.

It’s never too early to start caring for your skin! Many people start adding anti-aging products to their routine in their late 20s or early 30s to help with prevention. It’s all about taking good care of your skin before any signs of aging appear. If you didn't get a head start, that's ok too. There are plenty of options available to help bring back some of that hydrated, youthful appearance to your skin. Just ask...our skin care specialist will be happy to discuss treatments with you.

Of course! What you choose to share about your own personal therapy journey is entirely up to you. Some people benefit from sharing what they've learned in therapy and what tools they've developed along the way. Others benefit more from keeping this information private. The decision is completely yours. If you don't feel comfortable telling someone about your therapy sessions, that's OK. If someone asks, you can politely respond "I'd rather not discuss that." You are in control of your information and who you choose to relay it to.

Definitely! Working on your mental health can make a big difference in your relationship. When you focus on your own well-being, you’re better equipped to handle stress, communicate effectively, and understand your feelings. This can lead to clearer, more open conversations with your partner and reduce misunderstandings.

Plus, addressing personal issues or past experiences through therapy can help you bring a more balanced and healthy mindset into your relationship. It’s not just about fixing problems; it’s about enhancing your overall connection and making sure both you and your partner feel supported and understood. So yes, taking care of your mental health is a great step toward building a stronger, happier relationship!

Therapy can be incredibly helpful for relationships and marriages, but it’s not a guaranteed fix. It provides a space where both partners can openly discuss their concerns, learn new communication skills, and work through challenges together. A therapist can offer guidance and strategies to help you both understand each other better and navigate tough times.

However, the success of therapy depends on a few factors, like both partners’ willingness to engage and work on the issues at hand. Therapy can definitely support and strengthen your relationship, but it’s a process that requires effort from both sides. If both partners are committed to making positive changes, therapy can be a powerful tool for improving and even saving a relationship.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just want to understand yourself better, therapy might be a good fit. It’s a space where you can talk through your thoughts and get support from someone trained to help.

It really depends on the person and what they're going through. Some people start to feel better after just a few sessions, while for others, it might take a bit more time. Just remember, therapy is a process, and it’s totally okay to go at your own pace.

Both involve talking to a professional, but they can be a bit different. Counseling usually focuses on specific issues or life changes and is often shorter-term. Psychotherapy digs deeper into long-standing problems and usually takes a bit more time.

Absolutely! Confidentiality is a big deal in therapy and we honor that code every step of the way. What you share with your therapist stays private. There are a few exceptions such as if your therapist feels that there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, but only in extreme cases. Your therapist will go over any limits to confidentiality with you at the start, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
