About

The second is acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. The third is functional medicine, a science-based, patient-centered model grounded in systems theory. He applies that model to the complex interactions between genome, environment, and lifestyle. His functional medicine work focuses on preventing and managing complex chronic disease.
Dr. Archie holds specialty training in family medicine, medical acupuncture, and functional medicine. He is passionate about teaching and extends that commitment beyond the clinic. He conducts group teaching sessions on topics including heart disease, diabetes, injury, illness, and cancer.
