Michael Buyze
Founder, Owner, and Licensed Acupuncturist
Mike has over 40 years of healthcare experience. He holds a Master of Science Degree in Exercise Physiology with a specialty in Preventive and Rehabilitative Cardiovascular Health, a Masters of Business Administration (MBA), and a Master of Science in Oriental and Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSOM). His clinical expertise includes acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, functional medicine, integrative medicine, clinical exercise physiology, and nutrition.
He has worked extensively in the areas of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, longevity, and fertility, with a constant emphasis on wellness within the realities of chronic conditions. In 1995 he returned to school to study Chinese Medicine, obtaining his master's degree and founding East Wind in 1998.
Today Mike is passionate about helping people function vibrantly as they age rather than relying on medications and surgeries that sacrifice true health for mere medical stability, because being medically stable and being healthy are not the same thing.
