Supporting our Fibromyalgia Community & Improving Patient Outcomes
At TCLM, we understand how difficult it can be to battle the symptoms of complex, chronic conditions. Often, patients state that they have felt lost in the system, unheard, or passed around to various specialists with no real answers. Many who feel this way are those suffering from symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Unfortunately, those with this condition are often left to their own devices when managing these symptoms and are generally misunderstood or untreated by the medical community.. That is why we have partnered with specialists who have unique insights into the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia development and ways to begin treating the root cause(s) of fibromyalgia.
Professionals on our team have met with various knowledgeable health professionals who are dedicated to unpacking the intricacies behind the development of complex conditions, and those who struggle with fibromyalgia. Such specialists within our ecosystem consist of chiropractors, sleep...
Dysautonomia and POTS Program at TCLM! Hope for Healing
When walking through chronic illness or long lasting symptoms, the journey can begin to feel bleak and hopeless. When all hopes for healing disintegrate and questions are left unanswered, one can begin to define themselves by their disease rather than the beautifully complex human they are, that may be in a current state of imbalance. At TCLM we shift the focus from disease by providing compassionate care, understanding, and tools to guide patients along their healing process. We are determined to get to the root causes of symptoms, rather than simply masking or medicating them. We acknowledge that our members are a human first, and are experiencing more than just physical symptoms, but various emotional and spiritual implications that are either contributing to, or a result of lasting symptoms.
Dysautonomia is a medical condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating vital functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and...

Supporting the Mind and Body to improve Mental Health
Uncovering the source of mental health issues can be a daunting and difficult task. The mind and body are definitely connected in very intricate ways, so it can be challenging to get to the root of mental health struggles. Often, patients are left wondering what came first: Was there a physiological imbalance contributing to poor mental health, or did the emotional turmoil contribute to the manifestation of disease? For many years, psychiatry would approach mental health from a standpoint of strictly chemical imbalances with no hope of improvement without long-term medication. However, many people do not wish to take medication for a long time and some may even have adverse side effects as a result of psychiatric medication.
We believe that there is absolutely no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to managing one's mental health; however, we do know that there are now many more options than there once were. This is great news for many of our members who have been left...
