Plant Based Diet
The benefits of a plant-based diet have been studied and documented for years. Most recently, it has been discovered that fiber found in plants promotes a healthy gut microbiome, which can have profound positive effects on mood and anxiety.

If caught early, cardiac evaluation can help address issues with the cardiovascular system and be treated with physical therapy and a strictly plant-based diet. With Dr. Balakhane, major medical procedures will be administered only if absolutely needed.
Diabetes
Far too many Americans are suffering from Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes. Progression from Type 2 is not inevitable. If treated early by the right internal medicine doctor, progression can be mitigated and sometimes reversed.

Spirometry
A spirometry test is a pulmonary test used to assess how well your lungs are functioning by measuring how much air you inhale and exhale. It can detect conditions such as asthma, pulmonary disease, and other disorders affecting your lungs.
