Exciting news!

Exciting News! New Provider coming in January

We are very pleased to announce the addition of a new provider! Starting in January 2019, Kellie Kell, a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, is joining our Oasis Family Medicine Team as our third main care provider, who does what Dr. Kuo and I do. Since it can be difficult to get in to see Dr. Kuo, and since I am currently not taking on new clients, Kellie's addition to the team means our services will be more accessible for those who have not been able to come to Oasis Family Medicine as often over the past few years.

As with myself and Dr. Kuo, Kellie also practices and is continuing her education in Functional medicine, which integrates Western conventional medicine and natural alternative/holistic medicine to provide you with the best treatment options available. I invite you to have a visit to connect with Kellie - you'll find that she will provide the same personalized and trusted healthcare that you have come to know from Oasis Family Medicine.

And there's more! We'd also like to welcome our new Office Assistant, Ariana! Please be sure to welcome her the next time you are in the office :) 

You can learn more about Kellie and Ariana (and the rest of the outstanding Oasis Family Medicine Team) on our website here.

Daughter (mostly) agrees with dad's fish oil assessment

Fish oil has become a popular supplement these days and unfortunately, not all fish oil supplements are created equal.  Most people taking fish oil are not aware they are taking a poor quality one. If the fish oil you are taking is not high quality, it can be doing more harm than good in your body. It is vital to make sure the supplements you take are high quality, in the right ratio, and are actually necessary (I recommend you get your Omega 3 levels checked.). Taking poor quality oils is as bad, if not worse, than consuming sugar, so it is super important to use only the best quality supplements available.

That being said, the brand of fish oil I use and highly recommend is Ortho Molecular OrthOmega capsules, a top-notch, excellent quality fish oil supplement. 

OrthOmega uses sustainable wild fish oil, is the purest of the pure, and is ocean-to-table in a few months, compared to almost every other brand that actually takes 2-3 years to go from ocean to capsule availability on the shelf.  Even a few brands that I have previously recommended are still taking 12 months to 2 years to go from ocean to your mouth.  Way too long!  OrthOmega cuts out the middle-men too, so it's actually cheaper than other high quality fish oils.

In the video below, I have enlisted the help of my daughter, Kalaya, to demonstrate that high quality fish oil should not taste "fishy" and should actually taste good. Undeniable proof in my book... If it tasted the least bit fishy, I can guarantee that my daughter would NOT be happy with the taste! Just keepin' it real ;)

Happy Holidays: Guilt-free Wines + Stem Cells + Exosomes

In case you missed it, Happy Halloween! 

Here's a fun photo of our Oasis Family Medicine team.

The Holiday Season is here, and along with it, many temptations for over-indulgence, and not just with food, with alcohol too. As I have said before, holiday celebrations shouldn't bring on guilt or sacrifice. The key is using wisdom in choosing how you participate, and I recommend drinking the healthiest guilt-free wines possible. The best source? Dry Farm Wines.

For a FANTASTIC synopsis about why to drink Dry Farm Wines, start listening at 1:03:30 to this podcast. 

You can also check out my previous blogs If You Drink Wine READ THIS or Eat, Drink (healthily) and Be Extra Merry, or to find out more about Dry Farm Wines, click here. Cheers!

Brain Mapping + PEMF + Light Therapy

First of all, here's a reminder: 

Wednesday, November 14 @ 6pm - FREE Community Event: Brain Health Matters: Brain Mapping with Dr. Yoshi Rahm.

The brain plays an active role in nearly every function of your body. From logic and critical thinking to imagination and talent, from digestion and sleep quality to heart rate and recovery, the brain is there, making sure everything runs smoothly. When the brain isn't working properly, it can affect us in many negative ways. When we lose our temper or experience extreme sadness or lack of control, it could very well be that our brain is out of balance. An improperly balanced brain can lead to many neurological problems. The Brain Map process is painless, safe, accurate, and non-invasive. There really is no better tool for analyzing brainwaves and collecting customized data for each individual. Also, learn how to change your brain wave patterns toward health so you can live a more fulfilling life. Click here to RSVP! I hope to see you there :)

Next, I'm going to re-visit a treatment I highly recommend (PEMF - Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy) and also tell you about another highly recommended treatment (Light Therapy) now available here at Oasis Family Medicine. These treatments are highly effective and beneficial in their own right, but when used together - offered as Oasis Charging Sessions (EFS PEMF + TrueDark® Light) - the results can be even more beneficial.

I continue to express my utmost confidence in PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy) and recommend that every person should implement it into their lives for more optimal health. PEMF should be considered the 5th element of health (Water, Fire, Earth and Air are the four common elements). Studies have shown that PEMF has virtually no side effects, yet it is a very powerful treatment modality. You can read more about PEMF in my previous blog here.

PEMF therapy can be used alone, or it can be used together with another treatment I highly recommend and now available here at Oasis Family Medicine - TrueLight™ by TrueDark® Light Therapy. This therapy uses pulsating or steady LED light technology to safely and effectively encourage healing at the cellular level, rejuvenate muscles, stimulate collagen production, speed up the healing process, and aid in pain relief. You can read more about TrueLight™ by TrueDark® Light Therapy here.


With advancements in technology making these treatments more readily available and more affordable, let me say this: In this day and age, NO ONE should be without these treatments. Whether you buy your own PEMF or Light Therapy machine, go to another office for PEMF or Light Therapy treatment, or come to Oasis for PEMF or Light Therapy treatment, I encourage you to take the steps needed to add these treatments to your overall health plan.

For more information on PEMF, Light Therapy, and Oasis Charging Sessions, please call the office at 818-957-6909.

Have a great week, and as always, feel free to pass this along!
