It’s back to school time in Boulder & everywhere again. For most people this coincides with the coming of Fall & the beginning of a new level of learning & activity for the whole family.

Acupuncture & Type 1 Diabetes in Boulder Colorado

It is just mid-March, but seasonal allergies are beginning to affect people in Boulder & the Front Range in Colorado already...but don’t despair. There are many things that Acupuncture & Chinese herbs can do naturally to ease seasonal allergy symptoms.

In Colorado, we have the opportunity to train & enjoy outdoor sports all year long. Some say Boulder is one of the nations athletic meccas, & I have to agree.

Each of these athletes usually has their own training plan, nutritional needs, & often professional guidance to get them to their goals safely.
