NYC’s Leading Integrative Health Care Center
Asthma affects over 25 million people in the U.S., often making daily life a struggle with wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. At Patients Medical in New York City, we look beyond inhalers and steroids. Our integrative approach to asthma combines conventional care with functional, nutritional, and holistic medicine to identify and treat the root causes—so you can breathe freely, naturally.
We don’t just open airways—we heal the systems behind the symptoms.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. It causes the airways to narrow and swell, producing excess mucus and triggering breathing difficulties.
There are several forms of asthma:
Symptoms vary in intensity but typically include:
Asthma is more than a lung condition—it’s often the result of immune dysregulation, environmental exposures, and chronic inflammation. We investigate key triggers, including:
To uncover the underlying causes of your asthma, we use advanced diagnostics such as:
Anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich food plans help support respiratory health and reduce inflammation. This may include:
Custom IV drips with nutrients like:
We offer physician-guided supplements such as:
Asthma is often stress-sensitive. We offer:
Daniel, age 38, had battled asthma since childhood. He relied on daily inhalers but still had frequent attacks, especially during spring. At Patients Medical, we discovered multiple environmental allergies, a leaky gut, and a vitamin D deficiency.
We designed a 90-day integrative plan:
Three months later, Daniel reported 80% fewer flare-ups, improved energy, and reduced dependence on inhalers.
Yes. Many patients experience significant relief using natural therapies like anti-inflammatory diets, herbal supplements, IV nutrient therapy, and stress reduction. Our goal is to reduce airway inflammation and immune overreaction—without over-reliance on medications.
We use a range of advanced diagnostics, including allergy panels (IgE, IgG), inflammatory markers, gut microbiome tests, hormone panels, vitamin/mineral levels, and environmental toxin screenings to understand the full picture.
Possibly—at least initially. Our integrative treatments complement traditional medications. As inflammation and triggers reduce, some patients can reduce or eliminate inhaler use under medical supervision.
Beyond allergens, hidden triggers include food sensitivities (like gluten and dairy), mold exposure, air pollutants, stress, gut imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances.
A leaky or imbalanced gut can overactivate the immune system and worsen inflammatory responses in the lungs. Healing the gut often helps reduce asthma flare-ups.
Yes. We offer child-safe, evidence-based integrative plans using diet, gentle herbs, immune support, and environmental detox strategies for pediatric asthma.
Absolutely. Our personalized care plans address all asthma types—whether triggered by allergens, exercise, infections, or chemical/environmental exposures.
Chronic stress raises cortisol levels and worsens immune sensitivity, increasing asthma flares. We use acupuncture, mindfulness techniques, and adaptogenic herbs to balance stress hormones and support adrenal function.
Key nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin C, and omega-3s support lung function, reduce inflammation, and help relax bronchial muscles. These are personalized based on your lab results.
We are an out-of-network provider but offer superbills for reimbursement. Some lab tests may be partially covered depending on your insurance plan.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
