Introduction:

In this engaging interview, we speak with Dr. Audra Whatley, a licensed acupuncturist, and certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience in holistic health. She owns and operates the Be Zen Holistic Wellness Center, an integrative medicine clinic.

Dr. Whatley has been utilizing Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) in her practice since 2010. She shares how she incorporated AAT into her services and her experiences working with patients with symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities.

Background:

Dr. Whatley’s background in holistic healthcare and acupuncture led her to explore AAT as a means to address her own lifelong struggle with allergies. After years of personal suffering and trying various treatments without success, she sought out alternative solutions and became interested in AAT for symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. Dr. Whatley’s own experience as a patient laid the foundation for her deep understanding and passion for AAT, which she incorporated into her holistic wellness center.

The Challenge:

Dr. Whatley faced personal challenges with allergies and sensitivities that impacted her daily life. She was also interested in additional non-invasive approaches for her patients, particularly children and infants, whose individual needs shaped her search.

The Transformation:

Dr. Whatley incorporated AAT into her holistic approach to symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. She describes a transition from focusing primarily on women’s health to offering care for families. AAT became one of the services she offered within this broader practice, including her work with infants and children.

The Results:

Practicing in an area known for intense pollen seasons, Dr. Whatley describes patients who reported improvements in symptoms such as itchy eyes and runny noses following AAT treatment. She also describes AAT as an important part of her transition toward a family-oriented practice.

Specific Case Highlights:

Symptoms Associated with Apples: Dr. Whatley describes a personal trainer who reported being able to eat apples without experiencing her previous symptoms following AAT treatment.

Distress During Bathing: Dr. Whatley recounts an infant who became distressed during baths after a bathtub incident. According to her account, the child’s caregiver reported more comfortable bath times following AAT sessions.

Food-Related Symptoms in a Patient with Crohn’s Disease: Dr. Whatley describes using AAT within her broader holistic care of a patient with Crohn’s disease, focusing on symptoms the patient associated with food sensitivities and accidental exposures.

Conclusion:

Dr. Whatley’s journey with AAT reflects her personal interest in the therapy and her transition toward family-oriented care. She describes AAT as a meaningful addition to her services for patients experiencing symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities.

Testimonial:

“Before incorporating AAT technology, I was primarily focused on women’s health, but with AAT, I’ve been able to expand into a family practice.

The training and support from AAT Business Development Group have been top-notch. I have nothing but good things to say about AAT.”
