What our patient’s say

Dr. Lu is the most insightful, enlightened person I’ve ever encountered. His diagnostic abilities are beyond anything I’ve seen or heard about. He leverages his complete understanding of the human condition (body, mind and spirit) to combine the best aspects of his Eastern healing and Western medical expertise. Since first seeing him two years ago, I am physically, mentally and spiritually healthier and more aware than I could’ve imagined. Dr. Lu’s approach to healing is a model for what hopefully will be standard medical practice 50 years from now.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have come to Dr. Lu’s Nourishing Life! Last summer suffering from vertigo I was passed from one Western doctor to another with no results. Because I never knew when I would get dizzy I had to cut back hours at work and my family drove me everywhere. But Dr. Lu was optimistic. With treatments, specialized exercises, and diet changes I was eventually able to stop medication and also stop being afraid to go anywhere. Looking back now, I feel as if I’ve walked away from a nightmare. Thanks Dr. Lu and Helpers!

My Western-trained physician referred me to Luke Lu, and now I and my two adult children all see him for care. His ability to see the whole person and to apply the principles of Chinese medicine — herbs, diet, acupuncture — to our problems has been important to us in issues ranging from stomach ailments to sinus problems and head pain. His skills are way beyond the ordinary; I understand why, when my M.D. is stumped, she says, “You should talk to Dr. Lu.”

Warren Buffett is arguably the most prolific investor of all time. His level of success and accomplishment put him in a category all his own. He doesn't manage money, he helps create wealth. This is how I feel about Dr.Lu and his practitioners. They don't practice acupuncture, they create an opportunity to regain health in the most helpless circumstances. Buffetts autobiography titled "the snowball" details his success and the process by which it was harvested. Small things over time create momentum and that momentum can gain a life force of its own. That being said, someone has to start the snowball. Dr Lu and his team did that for me on my journey to health.

Three months to live. That's what the Mayo clinic told me at the age of 32. "It's not cancer but sometimes it's worse than cancer" , was something a doctor had told me in jest a few years prior. I smiled at him and laughed because what else could I do? Some fun words to help you understand...searing nerve pain, non symmetrical paralysis, coughing up blood daily, mono neuritis multiplex, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, necrotizing vasculitis, digestive insufficiency, kidney failure, heart failure, renal failure, etc etc etc . If it strikes your fancy to really go in for a taste check out any EGPA Facebook support group. They're all dying. I'm not. Why am I so special?

I've tried pretty much every imaginable option from western medicine to energy healing to eastern practices. Nothing seemed to be more than a "band-aid fix". This clinic was recommended by someone as a last ditch effort and it saved my life. I've been able to regain most motor function, pain has subsided dramatically and energy has been restored. I'm optimistic about my future for the first time in over a decade. People who have known me all my life regularly want to understand what changed and I can confidently point them in a direction that could also help them. I'm truly grateful and humbled that this clinic exists and serves

Dr. Lu is the wisest and kindest person I know. His diagnostic attunement and abilities seem to be extraordinary as are his skills in treating body, mind and spirit. He appears to utilize unfathomable expertise in Chinese Medicine as well as other energy medicine and healing art techniques and practices. Dr. Lu is a great health educator and advocate of healthier lifestyles and diet as well, both in terms of self-care and prevention, and in teaching how the body can find its way back to wellness with strategic treatment supports. Dr. Sara Alwawi brings an energetic burst of commitment and attunement to the clinic now as well. What I love most about working with Dr. Sara is her unwillingness to accept less than complete treatment outcomes. Never before have I witnessed a physician or other healer “roll up her sleeves and dig down deep” like this, kind doctor. No disease or discomfort would dare try to persist with this healer in town! I am committed to Dr. Lu and this clinic in terms of herbal support/treatments as well as meridian medical interventions and feel blessed and grateful every time I have the privilege of securing my health care here. I feel 100% better, and much more hopeful about aging, since working with Dr. Lu and his collegues. I look forward to ongoing expansion with Dr. Lu and his Nourishing Life practices especially in learning more about nutrition and reflective practice. Like I said, I feel blessed to work with these unbelievably skilled clinicians who also are such good and inspiring people.

I first consulted Dr. Lu in 2019 and that experience was transformative. Dr. Lu’s holistic focus on wellness including self-care, walking in Nature, clean food, and a mindful nutritious diet have become an integral part of my daily life. What impresses me most about Dr. Lu is his deep knowledge and commitment to the philosophy and practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which he fuses with his extensive training and remarkable diagnostic expertise as both a physician and a healer. His treatments have helped me immeasurably in terms of my health problems, and I always appreciate the caring, attentive, and meticulous care that I continue to receive from him. Dr. Lu’s dedication to forging a wellness community through his monthly Zoom teachings and other collective activities inspires his patients to continue following his wellness recommendations for a ‘nourishing life paradigm’.

The clinic environment is warm and welcoming and clinic staff are always flexible in accommodating individual needs and special requests. Dr. Lu’s Nourishing Life Center is an oasis of healing, calm, and peace in Ann Arbor!

Dr. Lu has given me something I never had before, real health. And it has become my greatest treasure and has affected every aspect of my life. Before I saw Dr. Lu I was overweight, tired, my feet and hands were always cold, I was always getting sick and had a cough that had not fully gone away in years. I struggled with depression and anxiety and I was only 33!

Not only that, but I was sick of the modern health care system, my doctors didn’t help me, the medicines they prescribed only made me feel worse or had no effect. They had no time for me, they didn’t listen. I was frustrated and fed up with all of them! Then a friend recommended Dr. Lu. In fact she said exactly, ‘The best thing I will ever have to offer you is my recommendation you see Dr. Lu’.

Since I have been seeing Dr. Lu I have felt very cared for, I feel he is interested in all aspects of my health and body, I have become interested in and deeply connected to my body. I no longer get sick, ever. Even when everyone around me is sick. I am not depressed or anxious. I am peaceful. I am not cold, because my circulation works. My cough is gone. And now I am pregnant for the first time! The pregnancy came easily and has been very easy on my body. I know this is because of Dr. Lu’s treatments.

Additionally, the very little I have learned about Traditional Chinese Medicine has been a balm to my soul. The framework of thought behind it is empowering and inspiring and healing in itself. When I found out I had the opportunity to write a testimonial for Dr. Lu’s practice. I was very grateful. To anyone reading this, I feel the same way my friend felt when she recommended Dr. Lu to me, the best love I have to offer you now is the recommendation. If you are able, you invest in your body and soul and build a relationship with Dr. Lu and the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
