Dr. Martina Sturm is an integrative medicine practitioner who blends the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with the precision of modern functional medicine to help patients heal at the deepest level. As one of a select number of practitioners in the United States to hold a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (DACM) from Pacific College of Health and Science—an ACAOM-accredited institution—she brings a highly advanced, multidisciplinary perspective to patient care.
Her philosophy is grounded in both classical medical systems and modern evidence-informed practice:
Identify root-cause imbalances, restore healthy physiology, rebalance the nervous system, and support the body’s innate capacity to repair and thrive.
Through comprehensive, personalized, and truly integrative care, Dr. Martina helps patients restore long-term health, vitality, and resilience.
What Dr. Martina Specializes In
Dr. Martina works extensively with patients who present with complex, layered conditions requiring a systems-based, multidisciplinary approach. Her areas of clinical focus include:
• Chronic illness and multi-system dysregulation
• Mold toxicity, environmental illness, and advanced detoxification support
• Gut health, microbiome restoration, and digestive disorders
• Metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and mitochondrial repair
• Integrative oncology support and treatment-side-effect management
• Sports injuries, orthopedic pain, and performance optimization
• Neurological symptoms, migraines, neuropathic pain, and dysautonomia
• Stress-related imbalance, adrenal dysregulation, and nervous system dysfunction
Her Integrative Philosophy
Dr. Martina’s clinical approach integrates Eastern and Western medical frameworks to create a deeply individualized, root-cause healing experience. Care is guided by an understanding that symptoms are expressions of underlying physiological imbalance—not isolated problems to suppress.
Her work integrates:
• Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern diagnosis
• Advanced functional lab testing and systems biology
• Whole-person evaluation of lifestyle, stress, environment, and physiology
• Personalized treatment strategies aligned with each patient’s root causes
Depending on individual needs, care may include therapeutic nutrition, targeted nutraceuticals, herbal medicine, acupuncture, movement-based rehabilitation, lifestyle optimization, and other minimally invasive, evidence-informed therapies.
Her mission remains consistent across every case: identify and address the underlying drivers of illness so patients can rebuild resilience, restore function, and sustain long-term health.
