Featured Patient Testimonial
By M.C.

"In my twenties, I never thought about aging although I have always been pre-occupied with the damage and emotional pain of constant acne. Now in my 30's, and after years of acne, oily skin, and tanning, the consequences began to show and I sought some intervention. My skin is now not only being looked after in a way appropriate for my age but it has also undergone healing treatments and even anti-aging preventative treatments. My skin is still getting better and better: sometimes people even think I'm in my twenties now!"...read more of our testimonials

"The environmental impact on fertility"
The toxins that effect fertility have their own name in the literature known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). They have been shown to interfere with the production and regulation of our own hormones, primarily effecting reproductive function. Endocrine disrupting chemicals have been shown to manipulate the ovaries and alter binding of the hormone at the receptor level, sending mixed messages. Disruptions in the normal ovarian function by these EDCs can lead to irregular cycling preventing ovulation, infertility, causing estrogen deficiency, premature ovarian failure, and poor egg quality, among others. The deleterious effects of the EDCs are not gender specific. These endocrine disruptors have been linked to causing sperm abnormalities, including sterility...read more on our blog. |

"Sleep is the time for our body and mind to recover from stress of the day"
I have been treating young mothers for over 20 years. I have observed that mothering, as busy and demanding as it is, takes precedence to individual maintenance of physical and emotional health. Early in my career while in school at ASU for my undergraduate in Exercise Science, I noticed how much better everyone felt upon starting a regular exercise routine. It seems to immediately lift the mood and improve stress response to daily tasks. I also quickly noticed that eating three meals daily also lifted energy and endurance aspects of life. Most important appears to be the consumption of a good breakfast with some protein. Of recent we are becoming more alert to the contributions of sleep. Sleep is the time for our body and mind to recover from stress of the day. When we are able to move through the different stages of sleep and spend adequate time in the deep sleep, we wake rested and feel recharged to take on the next day...read more on our blog.

1. Start a nightly routine. Following the same routine every night before going to bed gives your body the signal that it is time to settle down and go to sleep.
2. Turn off all electronics at least 1 hour before bed. This means no T.V., IPod, computer, or video games...read more on our blog.

Clean Skin Series Part II: Skin Lesions

 | | Click for Dr. Keiffer's Bio |
"What is this on my skin?"
One of the oldest aesthetic procedures known is the use of chemical peels to improve the skin. In this age of high technology and lasers we hear less of this procedure. Peeling of the skin remains an affordable option to improve the skin's tone, color and texture.
Most people assume that chemical peels are for the face but equally beneficial target areas are hands, arms, chest, back and neck. There are two main groups that would have the most advantageous results, those concerned with anti aging and discoloration and those suffering from acne. This is part 1 of Dr. Keiffer's skin health series. Watch our Newsletter's for more in this series ...read more on our blog.
