David and Deborah Martin, co-owners of Lotus Blossom Clinic, a holistic health center in Fort Myers, work together as advocates of the basic simple tenets of health: Build immunity, nip illness in the bud, use lifestyle changes to restore health, consider the big picture, look within for the root cause of the problem rather than just treating symptoms; and consider food as medicine to help the body heal itself.

For 20 years, David, doctor of Oriental medicine and acupuncture physician, has been treating patients and focusing on chronic pain, anxiety and stress. Using effective and often unique combinations of healing modalities to assist people in regaining their health, he draws from ancient and modern modalities such as acupuncture, acupressure, herbal and homeopathic remedies, therapeutic massage, Live Blood Cell Analysis and other functional tests, as well as Native American spiritual traditions. His specialties also include infertility, addiction, chronic disease and grief treatment.

Deborah, a reiki master and proponent of all things related to the mind-body-spirit connection, is focused on creating and maintaining business infrastructures that support and empower individuals. She is actively involved in health care education and marketing for Lotus Blossom Clinic. Deborah is certified in Conquering Any Disease, a science-based food healing system, and is the creator of a food healing workshop series available at the clinic. She partners with larger outreach infrastructures to provide these food-healing, empowering workshops.

The clinic’s Gaia’s Food Farmacy food experts offer private consultations regarding the medicinal uses of foods, target specific health goals with primarily plant-based diets and create food plans for individuals using ancient medicinal plant knowledge backed by modern science.
