Functional Medicine & Acupuncture

Cultivate vibrant health that radiates and inspires.

Dr. Pearl Tin believes living your best examines you as a whole person. True healing is an integrative look at mind + body, symptoms + root cause. I utilize my experience with the modern science of Functional Medicine and the comprehensive medical system of Chinese Medicine to help you navigate, identify, treat, and foster sustainable healing.

Own your health.

Confused by contradictory health messages? Feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing has sustained? No more late-night PubMed searches or leaving your doctor’s office feeling the same and alone.

I am your long-term guide and advocate. Together, we will decipher you’ve already tried, decode your labs, and chart a plan to create a sustainable lifestyle to achieve harmony and self-healing.

My Experience

Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sees the person’s mind, body, and spirit in a consistent relationship with each other and our environment. Treatments restore balance and harmony physically and emotionally.

I consider your history, physiology, and lifestyle. I specialize in mental health, gastrointestinal pain, long-Covid, cancer, fertility, brain care, women’s health, and skin.

As a board licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, I use all TCM modalities to navigate your care: acupuncture, herbology, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, qi gong, medicinal food therapy, and lifestyle counseling.

Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine uses lab tests to identify underlying physiological imbalances to pinpoint the problem and guide our treatment protocols.

I specialize in advising on: long-Covid, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, brain-degenerative diseases, anxiety and depression, digestive disorders, and hormonal diseases like Hashimoto’s and PCOS.

Based on testing, I provide education, nutritional counseling, lifestyle changes, and a supplement program. We work together to coordinate your care providers, lifestyle and watch your lab numbers improve.

What makes Dr. Pearl Tin different?

  • I take the time to ask comprehensive questions from birth (C-section or vaginal?) to what time you wake up at night (this tells me which organ system is affected), and what your poop looks like (a digestion report card).

    Treatments are tailored to the nuances I am trained to look for. I advise based off your differential pattern of imbalance.

    Your initial consultation will include a detailed history and comprehensive analysis of your specific symptoms. In partnership with your care providers, I come up with a treatment plan that works for your schedule, lifestyle, and budget.

  • Health is nuanced and specific to your terrain and physiology. Individual diseases do not happen without affecting other systems of the body. I help identify underlying imbalances to restore your health systemically.

    I help coordinate your treatment plan including; lab testing, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), acupuncture, lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, cupping, gua sha, stress management techniques, a customized Chinese herbal formula, moxibustion, and supplements.

    I use functionals markers to reach your goals. I commonly work with you and your care providers; to calm inflammation, normalize blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels. Hormonal imbalances are corrected. Pain and aches are resolved. Brain fog is lifted, stubborn weight comes off, and sleep difficulties are improved.

  • I provide consistent support and accountability. I meet you where you are without judgement.

    Health advocacy is an art in today’s medical system. I always work with your doctors and other care providers, to know how to advocate for you.

  • “Pearl is a caring and empowering doctor. I learned about my personal areas of vulnerability, which led us to uncover the root of present-day symptoms. I have relief knowing she’s in my health team!”

    -Heidi M.

  • "Dr. Pearl counsels me on diet and supplements to boost my immune system. She can break down health into language I understand. She is an educational doctor and I am so lucky to be her patient."

    -Jordan W.

  • "Seeing Dr. Pearl is like having your own personal medical researcher. My previous doctors didn’t have answers and didn’t do any research when scientific papers are published everyday!"

    -Michelle W.

  • "Dr. Pearl asks questions other doctors never asked me. She has vast knowledge about the thyroid and endocrine system, and knows many other doctors as well."

    -Loren D.

  • "I am personally a medical doctor at Kaiser and saw her for treatment for IBS. She has helped my bloating tremendously, and I absolutely credit her spirit and bright positivity for keeping me accountable and engaged."
