Daniela Chaparro · 08/08/2022

Dr. Shustina has a wealth of knowledge and is helping me a heal years of gastrointestinal issues. p.s Her podcast, available on her site, is a GOLD MINE.”


Erin Bestreich · 07/22/2022

“Dr. Shustina has been an incredible doctor to me for the past 3 years. I came to her feeling broken and she has given me suggestions, a plan, and the support that I needed to heal. She has a very caring approach and really listens to her patients. I feel very lucky to have found her!”


Larisa Likver · 11/19/2019

“I was referred to Dr. Shustina by a friend of mine who was fascinated by her work and improvement he had after her treatment. After seeing numerous doctors and have endless amount of tests without any significant results I was kind of skeptical to see Dr. Shustina. But just after 1st treatment I had 50% important of my abdominal symptoms which were bothering me for years. It felt like it’s too good to be true but it WAS true. Next few treatments which were provided by Dr. Shustina shortly after the first one completely resolved my chronic abdominal discomfort. I get my pain- free life back. Amazing feeling. Thank you Dr. Shustina Larisa L New York, NY”

“I have seen Dr. Shustina several times and was very impressed by her professionalism, knowledge and bed-side manner. She helped tremendously by giving me a detailed plan which helped me to lose weight, get fit and alleviate my knee pain. I recommend her for any person who wants to achieve real health.”


Monica LaBadia · 01/25/2021

“Dr. Shustina truly changed my life. She combines Western medicine with holistic practices in a way that is quite singular. When I came to her I was suffering greatly with ulcerative colitis. She helped me with diet, lifestyle changes, and mindset to heal my body through holistic methods. Her energy work sessions completely changed my body and mind for the better. It has been a year since I began working with Dr. Shustina and my inflammation is so low, it is safe to say I have "cured" my "incurable" disease of ulcerative colitis. If you feel you are all out of hope and answers, come to Dr. Shustina.”
