All Of Your Health Needs
ACUPUNCTURE ~ NUTRITION ~ BODYWORK ~ FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Gut Health
Your Gut health and microbiome play an absolutely critical role in the rest of your body and organ health. Clearing out gut infections, improving the Gut-Brain Axis and repairing Leaky Gut syndrome can have drastic effects at improving your health globally throughout your whole body.
Brain Health
Brain function and Cognitive health are tied to many various underlying factors. By addressing the body’s role in inflammation, sluggish energy metabolism and poor circulation, among others, we have a sophisticated plan to resolve most all neurological and mental health issues.
Lab-Testing
With modern lab-testing such as blood, urine and hair analysis, we are able to get a comprehensive understanding of your underlying mechanisms that lead to symptoms and disease.
- Shiatsu, Acupressure and Trigger-Point Massage to help release myofascial holding patterns through specific sites in the muscles and ligaments that hold the most amount of stress, thus limiting the range of motion in those muscle groups, leading to poor posture and alignment that can cause more and more pain and discomfort and limit circulation and detoxification elimination pathways from working properly.
- Neuro-Fascial Release Technique, Acupressure, and other gentle bodywork techniques can release and resolve the blockages and imbalances that can cause fatigue, stress, and toxins to build up in the body.
- Chi Nei Tsang (Visceral Organ Massage) is an ancient method used for centuries to help calm the mind and nervous system, improve detoxification, remove gallbladder, pancreatic and intestinal blockages, and improve the Gut-Brain connection via the Vagus nerve.
- Long Distance Phone/Zoom consultations help my clients realize which foods that they are eating which can be triggering an immune response or may be incorrect for their metabolism. I recommend foods that are nutrient dense and will help support their nutritional needs for optimal Adrenal, Thyroid, and Liver function. These three organs are responsible for the vast majority of all cellular metabolic functions that produce energy and remove toxins from the body.
” My approach to healing is to find the underlying causes to your health condition and treat them naturally, using holistic methods such as herbal medicine, nutritional support, detoxification methods and integrative bodywork to help resolve physiological issues the natural way. “
There may be multiple factors that are working together to create a web of imbalances throughout your body. Your nervous system, digestive system, liver functions and Endocrine glands such as your Adrenal glands and Thyroid all play important roles in keeping every cell in our body working optimally.
If any one of these organs become disrupted by inflammation or chronic stress or eating the wrong foods, a domino-effect of multiple health problems and many different symptoms may be the result of just a few underlying weaknesses or toxic buildups in the body.
I always combine ancient techniques such as hands on palpation such as craniosacral and visceral organ massage, as well hearing your whole health history and finding a pattern that explains why you’re feeling the way you are and having such specific symptoms.
“
We treat the root cause of your health condition,
not just merely masking the symptoms.
“
I also use modern lab-testing such as Hair Analysis, DUTCH test, GI-Maps and Blood analysis as well as other diagnostic procedures in order to find out what is really causing your health situation, and come up with an effective healing solution.

Alex Tuggle L.Ac.
Owner of Golden Wellness Center
Alex Tuggle L.Ac. grew up in a holistic healing environment in Southern California. Growing up around Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qigong and Meditation and Integrative Medicine and Nutrition helped Alex to cultivate much of his appreciation for the holistic healing arts that he still practices and teaches to this day.
Alex Tuggle graduated with a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2007 from Yo San University, and then went on to study and practice Integrative Nutrition, Nutritional Balancing, Heavy Metal detoxification, Orthopedic Massage, Trigger Point Release, Visceral Organ Release Technique and Functional Endocrinology and Gastro-Enterology.
Alex Tuggle spoke at the 2014 Autism One conference about the dangers of Environmental toxins, Poor Nutrition and Gut Health, and how we can mitigate the toxic effects of Stress and Inflammation on the Brain and nervous system.
Through his own personal healing journey, which started at the age of 12 after a serious head injury, Alex has accumulated years of personal insight into the many factors that can lead to low energy, chronic inflammation, chronic muscle tension, brain fog, poor digestion and cellular toxicity that can all be working to keep our bodies stuck.
Alex Tuggle L.Ac. explains how stress affects our brain, adrenal glands, hormones and digestive system.

Real Testimonials
” After several months of treatment along with a nutritional program I am feeling much better! My energy level is up. My focus and concentration have improved immensely. Alex’s treatment and guidance program has been awesome. I feel very lucky to be one of his clients! “
” I worked with Alex Tuggle long distance (over the phone) and he helped me based on a hair analysis.
I went to Alex with all kinds of issues and he was knowledgeable about every single one of them. These were all things that regular doctors overlook or medicate you for life. Alex explained how all my symptoms were scientifically related to stress and worrying too much. He prescribed me Chinese herbs and medicine that WORKED.
I’ve only been on his program 6 weeks and 90% of my symptoms are gone and the rest are diminishing! It’s amazing, and improving my health has given me confidence to go after other areas in my life that I’d previously been putting off. I’ve started exercising and pursuing goals that I couldn’t before because I was simply too stressed out and tired all the time! I’ve never been this healthy, not even as a child. Thank you, Alex, for all of your expertise and wonderful help! “
” Great experience. Received hair analysis results and than had a very well informed consultation with Alex. He put me on a regimen which drastically helped to improve my metabolic state. Feeling better both mentally and physically because of it.
” I have seen great results working with Alex!
My allergies are almost 100% gone, and I feel healthier now than I ever have as an adult.
Alex is extremely knowledgeable and patient, and willing to explain everything that he is doing to treat me, so that I feel comfortable and empowered! “
” Alex has done wonders since I have been receiving services from him this past year and is by far the best acupuncturist and primary health care provider I have ever come across!
I knew from the first session that Alex really cares about his patients and wants to see them reach their healthy state, I have never had any health care provider take the time that Alex did to answer all of my questions and be there via email or phone if I needed to follow up after our initial consultation.
Not only do I receive acupuncture during each visit, I also have a follow up discussion with Alex to express any concerns and my progress.
I originally came to Alex to perform a hair analysis test as I was constantly feeling exhausted and I had visited many doctors throughout the past few years where I didn’t feel as though I was getting the answers I needed.
When my hair analysis results came back I was shocked!
Alex walked step-by-step through my results helping me to understand how my adrenals are functioning and the levels of heavy metals in my system amongst various other findings – adrenal exhaustion and thyroid problems is what was causing the imbalance in my body.
Alex is very warming, welcoming and is very educated, he has given me various exercise techniques to help with my symptoms along with been a therapist by helping me open up about the problems I have faced in life and how to best handle them so they do not haunt my body long term.
The above is just the beginning of the many wonders Alex has blessed my life with during this past year. Alex is changing my life on so many levels. I highly recommend Alex, his help is becoming a life changing experience for me and can for you too! “
” Alex is WONDERFUL! I found him a few years ago through a Groupon and haven’t bothered using another masseuse since. Although my first contact with him was for casual massages, I was in a traumatic car accident a year ago. I was suffering from severe whiplash and lower back pain. Alex’s expertise in manual therapy and acupuncture, in addition to all the other amazing things he knows about the human body, has helped me regain my life again, literally.
Besides being extremely proficient in his work, he is a genuinely kind and compassionate person. I not only enjoy our sessions together, I look forward to them. “
