The Empathy You Deserve. *About House of Healing Integrative Medical Center | Torrance, CA* The vision for House of Healing was born from a deeply personal journey shared by sisters Karen and Stephanie (Dr. Abrams). For four years, Karen and Stephanie went doctor to doctor and traveled to numerous top ranked academic centers with no answers. They endured building despair throughout the years due to being discounted and "blown-off" as being too complex, "it must just be depression and anxiety." Karen battled a rapidly worsening condition. Stephanie researched tirelessly to find the answers and finally settled on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Mitochondrial Disease and took Karen to the super-specialists of those diseases. Eventually Karen was diagnosed with MCAS and diagnosed as a terminal mitochondrial disease under the umbrella of muscular dystrophy. Despite clear data showing the severity of her illness, she and Stephanie faced repeated dismissal from doctors and major hospitals, leaving them without help or hope. During one of her hospitalizations in 2018, at a time when she believed she was dying, Karen told Stephanie she finally understood why this was happening: they were meant to open a clinic where patients would be considered, supported, and treated with compassion. In this place, no one would ever have to experience the same roadblocks they faced. She believed she would receive a miracle, allowing them to make this vision a reality. That miracle came through the same type of regenerative and integrative medicine the clinic offers today. A pivotal figure in Karen’s recovery was **Dr. Sonja Fung**, a licensed naturopathic doctor who took on Karen’s complex case when no one else would. Dr. Fung researched tirelessly, ultimately introducing Karen and Stephanie to emerging regenerative medicine focused on mitochondrial repair. This became the turning point in Karen’s treatment and laid the groundwork for the clinic’s approach. Karen’s first significant breakthrough came through a direct cord blood donation from her stepdaughter — the first step in the regenerative therapies that helped bring her back to life. Over time, Karen went from dying to healing, and Stephanie became the driving force behind transforming that experience into a mission. House of Healing exists because three women — Karen, Stephanie, and Dr. Sonja Fung — refused to accept “no” for an answer. Their shared journey of resilience, advocacy, and medical discovery inspired the creation of a clinic dedicated to giving patients the answers, respect, and care that every person deserves. #### The Doctor Who Turned Her Family’s Story Into Hope *A Doctor Who’s Lived the Journey* Dr. Abrams’ medical philosophy was shaped not only by over 25 years of clinical practice, but also by her personal journey as a mother, sister, and advocate. She spent four years uncovering her sister’s diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ultimately helping to save her life through regenerative medicine. Her daughter’s autism has given her firsthand insight into how interconnected the gut, brain, and immune system truly are, inspiring her to specialize in gastrointestinal health and neurodevelopmental disorders. This combination of **medical expertise and lived experience** makes Dr. Abrams uniquely equipped to help those with complex conditions like: - [**hEDS (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders)**](/hypermobile-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-heds/) - [**MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)**](/mcas/) - [**POTS and Dysautonomia**](/pots-dysautonomia/) - [**Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis**](/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-myalgic-encephalomyelitis/) - [**Autism Spectrum Disorders**](/autism-spectrum-disorders/) - [**Metabolic Disorders and Obesity**](/obesity-overweight/) #### From Patient Advocate To Physician Pioneer *Credentials & Background* Dr. Abrams blends academic rigor with integrative medicine, merging advanced diagnostics, nutritional science, and regenerative therapies such as PRP, ozone, totipotent cell therapy, and IV infusions. Her care model is **concierge-style**, meaning patients receive extended visits, individualized treatment plans, and direct access to her expertise. - **Triple Board-Certified** in Pediatrics, Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition, and Obesity Medicine - **NIH-Funded Researcher** in microbiome and gastrointestinal dysbiosis - **Former Medical Director** at Miller Children’s Hospital - **25+ Years of Clinical Practice** in both academic and private settings - **Fluent in English and Spanish** - **Named a Los Angeles Top Doctor, 2024** #### Root-Cause Medicine. Heart-Led Care. *The Philosophy Behind the Practice* At House of Healing, every patient is seen as a whole person, not a collection of symptoms. Dr. Abrams believes that healing begins with listening and that true medicine requires partnership, curiosity, and compassion. *“At House of Healing, you don’t have to prove you’re sick. We believe you. We listen, investigate, and walk beside you as we uncover the root causes of your illness — and help you find your way to the highest quality of life possible for your disease state.” * — *Dr. Stephanie H. Abrams, MD, MS* #### Finally, a Place That Feels Like Home *A New Kind of Clinic for Complex Care* **[.block] []** Patients enter a “living room,” not a waiting room.

Genetics, hormones, gut health, and emotional patterns all play a part. Here, weight is not a moral failure or a lack of willpower. It’s a medical condition that can be treated, reversed, and healed through the right combination of science, guidance, and empathy. #### Find Your Balance Again *What is Medical Weight Loss?* **Medical weight loss** is a physician-supervised approach that treats overweight and obesity as reversible medical conditions, not moral shortcomings. It begins with understanding your unique biology, metabolism, and habits, then designing a plan that works with your body instead of against it. At House of Healing, this means starting with discovery: What’s happening in your gut flora? How are your hormones responding to stress and diet? Which genetic or behavioral factors might be influencing your cravings or energy? From there, Dr. Abrams builds a plan that restores balance and sets the foundation for sustainable health. #### Compassion Meets Clinically Backed Care *What is the Medical Weight Loss Process Like?* Your journey starts with an [in-depth consultation](/consultation/) with Dr. Abrams or a member of her clinical team.

It’s about feeling lighter, stronger, and more in control of your life. Patients often notice: - Improved energy and stamina - Better blood sugar and cholesterol levels - Reduced inflammation and joint pain - More stable moods and sleep - Increased confidence and self-trust When the body’s chemistry and lifestyle align, weight loss becomes a byproduct of healing, not punishment. #### For Real People With Real Lives *Am I a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?* If you’ve struggled with diets that don’t last, weight regain after success, or health conditions tied to weight, medical weight loss may be right for you. Dr. Abrams welcomes adults and adolescents seeking an evidence-based, non-judgmental approach. It’s especially effective for those with metabolic or gut-related conditions, those on multiple medications, or anyone who’s ready for change but unsure where to start. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical contraindications may not be eligible for some medications, but there are still many holistic options available. #### Healing That Lasts *Medical Weight Loss Results* Results vary from person to person, but many patients report steady, sustainable progress rather than short-lived change.

Explore what’s possible, and begin your science-based journey to healing in Torrance, CA. #### Stop Patching Symptoms. Start Building Resilience. *What is Regenerative Medicine?* Regenerative medicine is the evidence-based process of stimulating your body to repair tissues that have been damaged by injury, age, or chronic disease. It’s a powerful approach for patients—especially those with **hEDS, Long COVID, or chronic joint instability**—whose bodies struggle to initiate a complete repair cycle on their own. Instead of relying solely on medications or invasive surgery, we define and utilize targeted therapies like: - **Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP):** Concentrating healing growth factors from your own blood to stimulate tissue repair. - **Totipotent/Stem Cell Therapy:** Utilizing powerful cells to replace damaged tissue and reduce systemic inflammation. - **Peptide Therapy:** Using short-chain amino acids to signal the body for specific actions, such as healing the gut lining ("leaky gut") or boosting immune function. #### Sanctuary in Healing *What is the Regenerative Medicine procedure like?* We perform all regenerative procedures in the peaceful, grounded atmosphere of our Torrance clinic. **Preparation:** For PRP or Cell Therapy, a simple blood draw is taken. The sample is processed on-site in specialized, sterile equipment to concentrate the healing factors or cells. **Targeting:** Using advanced imaging (like ultrasound), Dr. Abrams precisely maps the injection site—whether it's a damaged tendon, ligament, or joint space—ensuring optimal placement for maximum benefit. **Treatment:** - **Injections (PRP/Cells):** The concentrated healing material is injected into the target area. The procedure is quick, and we prioritize patient comfort and gentle precision. - **Stemwave™:** For pain and joint healing, this non-invasive acoustic wave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to stimulate cell regeneration, often providing **80% immediate relief** with no needles or downtime. **Aftercare:** You are guided through immediate post-procedure care and sent home with clear instructions designed to maximize healing potential. #### From Instability to Stamina *What conditions does Regenerative Medicine address?* **Regenerative therapies** are central to our work in chronic, complex conditions where tissue integrity is often compromised: - **Chronic Joint Pain & Instability:** Treating knees, shoulders, hips, and backs, particularly in patients with **hEDS/Hypermobility** who need ligament and tendon strengthening. - **Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Long COVID:** Totipotent cell therapy targets mitochondrial dysfunction and systemic inflammation to help **restore cellular function and energy**. - **GI Dysmotility & "Leaky Gut":** Targeted peptide therapy is used to repair the compromised intestinal lining, which is a root cause of inflammation in many chronic conditions. - **Osteoarthritis & Tendinopathies:** Repairing cartilage and promoting healing in chronically damaged tendons (e.g., rotator cuff, Achilles). - **POTS/Dysautonomia-Related Pain:** Addressing the underlying structural pain and instability that often accompany these conditions. #### Full-Body Care for a Complex Life *What areas of the body can Regenerative Medicine address?* These powerful treatments can be applied wherever damage or dysfunction exists—including major joints (knee, hip, shoulder), the spine, soft tissues (ligaments/tendons), and at a systemic level to improve energy and tissue quality throughout the entire body. #### Science That Meets Your Complexity *What are the benefits of Regenerative Medicine?* **Empowered Healing: Addressing the Root Cause of Damage** Instead of temporarily masking pain signals, regenerative medicine focuses on the core problem: damaged tissue and inflammation. For patients with conditions like hEDS, where connective tissue is inherently fragile, our procedures help stabilize structure and promote healing where the body has failed. This is not a band-aid; it’s an active process of rebuilding. **The Benefit of Lived Expertise and Integration** Dr. Abrams doesn't just treat the joint; she treats the **whole system**. We integrate your regenerative care with a full root-cause workup—checking for nutritional deficiencies, metabolic issues, and inflammation—to ensure the repaired tissues have the optimal environment to thrive. This integrated approach leads to more durable, profound results. #### True, Sustainable Wellness *Am I a candidate for Regenerative Medicine?* **The best candidates are:** - Patients who value a **root-cause approach** and are looking for alternatives to surgery or long-term steroid injections. - Individuals whose chronic fatigue or pain has a clear tissue-damage component (e.g., specific joint pain, leaky gut diagnosis). - Those willing to optimize their lifestyle and nutrition to support the body's regenerative process. We often advise against treatment for those with active systemic infections or certain blood disorders, and candidacy is always determined through a thorough, personalized consultation. If you are suffering from chronic pain, joint instability, or complex chronic illness where tissue repair is needed, you are likely a candidate. #### Restore Function, Purpose, and Hope *Regenerative Medicine Recovery & Results* #### Expertise With Empathy *Why Choose House of Healing Integrative Medical Center for Regenerative Medicine?* When dealing with a complex body and chronic illness, you deserve expertise rooted in genuine understanding.

A typical course of treatment includes six sessions, scheduled twice weekly. There’s no pain, no invasive procedure, and no recovery period.
