Does This Sound Like You?

 🤔

You’re busy, stressed, and not getting any better.

You’ve seen other doctors and specialists but all they have are band-aids that don’t work.

 🤔

You feel like your mind and body are holding you back from living your best life.

Maybe you feel broken, or maybe you want to feel like yourself again.

 🤔

Your symptoms have been holding you back for more than 3 months, but conventional healthcare can’t figure out what’s wrong.

Perhaps you were told something like "it's all in your head", which made you feel dismissed.

 🤔

You’ve been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or some other diagnosis from the DSM-5, but the treatment you were given didn’t quite work.

 🤔

You’re a high-functioning human who’s surviving, but you’re not thriving.

Or maybe you haven’t seen a doctor or a therapist in years, and it’s about time.

IT'S TIME TO TALK

Welcome to My Website!

I'm Dr. Mike Tung, a Naturopathic Doctor who can't wait to hear your story.

I believe we’re all beautifully complex main characters in our own stories, not just a set of symptoms

Your story is more important than your symptoms because when people are seen, heard, and supported, they can truly heal.

That's why I created the S.T.O.R.Y. Method: a framework for holistic healthmental wellness, and healing pain that helps you harmonize your mind, body, and spirit, so you can shift from surviving to thriving.

Instead of quick fixes and band-aids, I want to help you sustainably heal by addressing the root causes of your suffering - and start living your best life.

What I DON'T Believe:

❌ Our healthcare system is working.
 Medical doctors spend enough time listening to their patients and explaining things.
 Healthcare professionals have all the answers and don’t need to personalize their treatments.
 We are merely physical bodies that can just be "fixed" with drugs and surgery.
 The mind and body are separate and can be successfully treated separately.
 We can heal on our own, without any guidance or support.

"The word ‘health’ comes from the word ‘whole’.

When an individual human being feels complete within themselves - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - that’s what health is."

S.T.O.R.Y. Method

Introducing My

S.T.O.R.Y. Method

Every hero's story is full of stress. Childhood stress, traumatic stress, relationship stress, work stress, "good" stress, "bad" stress, etc. It's a big part of what makes us who we are, and why we suffer in the ways we do.

Instead of talking about it like an afterthought, my method addresses it right away, since stress and our reactions to it are the root causes of many health issues.
This is the sacred bond between a client and their healthcare professional. Or how I see it, between the hero and their guide. Research shows that the therapeutic alliance itself is a strong predictor of health-related success. To me, this is the most important part of healing.

Instead of treating you like a transaction, I consider working with you as an alliance.
You may have heard of this term: "pillars of health". Everyone has their own view on how to build a foundation for health, but I think mine is the most robust. Lots of doctors say that things like diet, exercise, hormones, and sleep are pillars, whereas I see those as building blocks to support your pillars.

I believe that every person's health is supported by four pillars. The biological and psychological pillars are what we conventionally think of as physical health and mental health, respectively. The social pillar represents our relationships and the environments we exist in. The spiritual pillar represents things like purpose and connection to something greater than oneself.

We suffer when our pillars aren't organized, which is why my method addresses the pillars, not just the building blocks.
Unlike those doctors who might give you an effective treatment but no support, I'm not going to just tell you what to do and wish you the best. I believe it's also important to figure out how you'll accomplish your goals, and regularly check in to ensure that we're making progress. Even the best of us need support to thrive.

You focus on what you need to do, and I'll keep you motivated and organized.
Never forget that when it comes to your health and your story, YOU are the main character. Your healthcare providers are supposed to guide and support you — not talk down to you and dismiss you.

My method empowers you to be in the driver's seat of your healing journey, while I navigate you with tools, organization, and strategy.

"When we have the courage to walk into our story and own it, we get to write the ending."
