New You Health Studio

I love New You. It's tucked into the Mission Farms retail spots on the first floor of the living spaces. It's right next to Room 39, another one of my fave destinations. The staff at New You have been incredibly patient and helpful. And that's saying a lot when dealing with my millions of questions and concerns.New You includes a medical practice with a DO who has an integrative approach of healing the whole person to get to the root of the issues and TREAT the PROBLEM vs masking the symptoms. She specializes in ways to help each patient age in a healthy way. There are skin care options, anti-aging services, organic products, supplements & natural remedies, and more offered for sale as well. They also offer more "beauty" type services if that is your thing as well. They recently launched a safe, clean, medical pedicure service. This service is safe for diabetics, chemotherapy patients, those who are immune compromised (like myself), and include polishes that are free of Toluene, Formaldehyde, Resin, DBP and Camphor. If you are interested in a different approach to your health and how you might age more gracefully, and gain energy - I would suggest checking out their website, calling to ask questions, & just stopping by in person. It's a beautiful space, complete with a hummingbird logo (the bird nerd in me adores this).

A year and a half ago I was a very healthy, active 31 year old with no medical problems. Over the course of a few weeks my health deteriorated at a frightening rate. I suffered from constant nausea, stomach pain, vision impairment, tremors, an unending migraine, severe anxiety and almost 50 autoimmune symptoms. Every time I went to a new doctor my blood work came back 'normal' and they would shrug and tell me to take another prescription drug that either did nothing or gave me a reaction that landed me in the hospital. People get tired of you when you don't get well, after a few months doctors started to give up. I was absolutely out of options when my friend told me I had to go to New You, that the doctors there were different.Dr. Brian Lum first saw me when I was still too weak to live any kind of active life and my mental abilities were greatly diminished. Many of my symptoms persisted on a daily basis and I felt as though I would never fully get my life back. Dr. Lum began with subtle changes to my diet and lifestyle that I initially eyed with skepticism - yet each redirection yielded leaps of improvement in my body. Very quickly I had energy enough to go back to school and to start running again. Low grade autoimmune symptoms that had been lifelong have faded to nothing and sugar regulation issues that I felt uncomfortably on a daily basis for years are absolutely gone. Dr. Lum also identified the genetic abnormalities that caused my life threatening reactions to certain prescription medications. I actually feel healthier now than I did before I got sick. As important as his medical expertise is - its really his understanding of chronic illness that sets him apart. He knows what its like to be sick and takes every symptom you have seriously. I had seen 18 doctors over 8 months looking for answers as to what made me sick and how to get better and I would have got them by just going to Dr. Lum first.

Don't be turned off by the fact that the office looks like a day spa. I see Dr. Lum here and he has literally cured my crohn's disease. After I had spent years in and out of hospitals, trying multiple medications with varying degrees of horrible side effects and generally feeling awful all it took was a few appointments with Dr Lum and my symptoms drastically improved. This is personal and painful but read on if you have crohns. I went from having 8-10 bowel movements a day and recurrent painful fistulas to using the bathroom a normal 2 or 3 times a day and having full fistula healing without surgery. If you have crohns you need to see Dr. Lum.

Dr. Alexander and her staff at new you health studio have exceeded my expectations greatly. She has helped me so much with getting my body regulated and helping solve the problems that my other doctors never even knew existed. She takes her time with you and never makes you feel rushed: she genuinely cares about helping people. The facility itself is serene and relaxing and her staff are welcoming and always eager to help. Heidi is wonderful and gives the most incredible facials I have ever gotten. She is so knowledgeable and customizes the facials to what you want for your skin. New You has truly changed my life for the better.

This place claims they will give you one on one care and work with you. However, besides the fact of charging your card they are not consistent at all. Even after your contract is up you should keep looking at your statements since they will charge you periodically. They are extremely overpriced. They talk a big game but will not follow through at all. Don't waste your time.

If you want a studio that doesn't hesitate to charge your account $1000 in advance of an appointment you can't make for 3 weeks which I agreed to! But call with a complaint after spending nearly $1450 in services they won't return your call. That's just poor customer service and my last time visiting that studio!
