Maria Delgado, A.P

I believe that we all have a specific purpose to serve in life, but without health it makes it really hard to find that purpose or anything else for that matter. My purpose is to help you achieve optimal health so that you may go on to pursue your purpose. I also believe our body is the most amazing machinery that we own. It's smart and capable of healing itself but ONLY when it has everything that it needs in order to function properly.

My name is Maria Delgado and I am a Board Certified Acupuncture Physician, with a practice focus on Functional Medicine. I've had my share of ailments throughout my life from bacterial Meningitis, to severe chronic knee pains and the most recently Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.

I come from a family of Western physicians and although I respect and understand that there is a time and place for conventional medicine, I also understand the importance/urgency to incorporate complimentary medicine, which supports our body's systems specially when it comes to chronic ailments. It is not enough to rely on a medication alone, but rather understand why that medication is needed, and FIX the problem.

What has happened to me, and what I see often in my patients, is much more than a lack of ONE thing. It's a combination of many organ dysfunctions that have been created due to many factors.

The philosophy in which I have built my practice (Enlightened  Health) is that we need to rebuild our bodies, so that our bodies can start working for us. In order to do so we need to reduce and learn how to cope with stress, detoxify, and identify nutrient deficiencies and organ dysfunction.

I consider myself a detective of health and absolutely love the challenges that every patient's case brings. When it comes to your health, proper guidance and support from a professional is required in order for you to achieve your health goals. If you have decided and are committed to investing in your health, then let's not wait any longer and let the journey begin, because health is a journey not a destination.
