Virtual Tour of InnerSource Clinic
Inner Source Natural Health was originally conceived in 1996. At this time, Dr. Pina LoGiudice met Dr. Peter Bongiorno for the first time while working in a laboratory at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, outside of Washington DC. There, they were both completing research pre-doctoral fellowships in clinical neuroendocrinology.
Both Dr. Peter and Dr. PIna had a strong love for natural medicine, and decided to forgo the conventional medicine route, and pursue a degree in naturopathic medicine and acupuncture. After medical school was completed, they realized their dream and opened InnerSource Natural Health, with offices in New York and Long Island.
Inner Source Long Island started in Syosset in 2003, and is now located permanently in Huntington. InnerSource New York City is located in the central area of Union Square/Flat Iron, where patients come from all around the tri-state area, and the world.

| Depression, Naturopathic Licensing |
december 2011
Holiday blues are a well-documented phenomenon that affects many people this time of year. Fortunately, many of these “cases” pass after the New Year. But depression–the debilitating illness– remains for some. It is more than a fleeting period of sadness and can last for years–or a lifetime without proper care. The World Health Organization predicts that in 10 years depression will be the second most diagnosed disease in the world. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 10 percent of Americans are depressed.
Today antidepressants are the most heavily prescribed medications. Once they start on the pills, patients are seldom weaned away from them. The drugs and their side effects are controversial. Some studies suggest they don’t help people with mild to moderate forms of the disease. With more people turning to natural medicine, some healers have found natural medicines and lifestyle changes to be more effective.
In this podcast, WHRC NY talks with naturopathic physician, Dr. Peter Bongiorno. He is the author of Healing Depression: Naturopathic and Conventional Treatments. Dr. Bongiorno talks about natural treatments for some depressed patients, about the acceptance of naturopathic medicine by conventional physicians, and about the issue of licensing doctors who practice this medicine in New York State.
