Services
Naturopathic Medicine
Our naturopathic approach treats chronic and acute conditions by addressing root causes through personalized plans combining nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes. We focus on immune support, hormonal balance, and detoxification to restore natural healing processes. Patients benefit from evidence-based therapies tailored to individual genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Lyme Disease Treatment
Specialized protocols target Lyme disease and co-infections using antimicrobial herbs, immune modulation, and tissue support. We address neurological symptoms, joint pain, and fatigue through customized combinations of botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, and detoxification strategies. Treatment integrates dietary adjustments and stress management to enhance recovery outcomes.
Clinical Nutrition
Personalized nutrition plans address deficiencies and metabolic imbalances through whole-food diets and targeted supplementation. We implement blood-type-specific eating strategies, eliminate inflammatory foods, and optimize digestive health to improve chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders.
Acupuncture
This traditional Chinese medicine technique alleviates pain, reduces inflammation, and restores energy flow through strategic needle placement. We use acupuncture to treat musculoskeletal issues, hormonal imbalances, and stress-related conditions, often combining it with electrical stimulation for enhanced therapeutic effects.
Detoxification Programs
Our detox protocols remove environmental toxins and metabolic waste through targeted nutrition, herbal support, and biotherapeutic drainage. Patients receive customized plans addressing heavy metal elimination, liver function optimization, and cellular detoxification to improve energy levels and chronic disease management.

Our family's experience with Dr. Aieta has truly been life changing. He was able to get to the root cause of several issues that no other physician has been able to do. With thorough guidance, we were able to replace traditional chemical-based medicines (that had negative side effects) with natural alternatives and the results are literally life-saving. Our entire family highly recommends Dr. Aieta.

Self empowering health care is the best way I could describe my experience with Dr. Aieta. Balancing his passion for health with his grace for each person's human experience, he is able to elucidate a plan that is scientifically grounded, tailored to your individual needs, and eminently achievable. He applies his expertise in a way that extends it right into his patient's hands - exactly where it should be!

I really enjoyed reading Taking Back Your Health. The book has a lot of great information which is clear, concise and easy to understand. A great reference for the bloodwork results and the nutrition section was helpful.

I consider Dr Aieta to be my primary care physician and is my "metabolic" go-to guy. I'm of the mindset that proper healthcare should always start with bloodwork and expert interpretation that monitors what's going on as we attempt to live a healthy lifestyle. Now we can all participate in that process in a more educated manor with the help of his new book "Taking Back Your Health." Dr Aieta details his approach with his patients in a simple, easily understood explanation of the process.

This book is written in great detail yet in an easy to understand way. I would give my hearty recommendation as one of those books that you could give to that person who is somewhat skeptical of naturopathic medicine. Awesome book!

As a patient of Dr. Aieta's for more than 5 years, his book, " Taking Back Your Health" is a great resource for anyone looking for a naturopathic guide to health. As his patient, I have done the bloodwork suggested in this book and have found it helpful in guiding me towards better health. His advice is solid.

Frank is the best! He has greatly improved my and my sons health. My son was diagnosed with graves disease and his specialist wanted to radiate his thyroid and put him on hormone replacement medication for life. We tried Frank's protocol before doing this and he was in remission within 3 months and has been in remission ever since. He is amazing!

Dr. Aieta saved my gut health some years ago with natural, lasting treatment. Without his help I would've been in constant agony and nausea with no resolution in sight. Can't recommend him enough!
