I have been working with Jason Blalack for 2.5 years. I started seeing him in April 2013 when I had been sick with Chronic Fatigue for about 4 years and I'd been through a few practitioners (3 alternative MDs known for working with complex, chronic illnesses, 2 chiropractors, 3 other acupuncturists and a few others). Once I found Jason, I was able to relax and work with him on the majority of my symptoms. It has been so helpful to have him manage my supplements and prioritize what's really important to take and what's not. And unlike some of the other practitioners, he doesn't give me 1, 2 or 3 new supplements every time I see him. I used to manage my supplements in a spreadsheet!! Not anymore!! I chose Jason because I heard that he had experienced a severe chronic illness in his early 20s and had used Chinese herbs to get better. In the first appointment, Jason described to me in Chinese medicine terms what he thought was happening in my body and what my healing would look like: a steady upward trend of improvement with down spells from time to time. That's what has taken place. We discussed that I had improved after about 8 months. I was so pleased to feel an underlying energy that was strong and consistent for the first time in years. I find Jason to be highly intelligent, creative, curious, thoughtful and he has a sense of humor. To treat complex illness it's critical to have a certain kind of person working on your behalf. There can be a large number of variables and symptoms and so setting the right priorities is key. Shortly after we saw the first improvement in my Chronic Fatigue, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and this changed our focused rather dramatically. I was advised to do chemo and radiation and so Jason supported me with acupuncture and herbs through those rather difficult physical experiences. He was such an emotional support to me during cancer treatment. He was gentle, kind, steady and communicated an underlying confidence that I would get well from all that my body had been through. I had gotten to the point that I couldn't remember what it was like to be even a little bit healthy. Once cancer treatment was over, the next focus was menopause. Some chemo drugs cause early menopause and it's abrupt so the symptoms have been intense. The Chinese herbs are once again super helpful -- they are the only thing I've tried that reduces symptoms that are pretty much unbearable. Today, aside from the menopause symptoms, I feel great! I have energy to function well and my mind is clear and quick. I recently went on vacation in Europe for a month and I did fabulous! I have been able to begin rebuilding my life. When Jason is out or away, I see Kate Blalack and have found her to be intelligent, effective and wise as well. I so appreciate being able to see someone else when Jason is away who knows and understands me. read more

Jason is an excellent acupuncturist for chronic and major illness. He has studied medicine for a significant number of years and even learned Chinese so he could read Chinese texts and not rely on a translator which may be unclear or even inaccurate. He's dedicated to what he does. I saw Jason for 8 months for a condition that has been undiagnosable from a Western medicine perspective. I have tended to call it Chronic Fatigue for lack of another label. There has been significant improvement in my condition up through December of 2013. Then in January of 2014, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and now Jason is supporting me with both the chronic fatigue and cancer treatment which currently involves chemo. I love that I have a plan in place that includes supplements and herbs to build my body strength between chemo treatments. One of the great things about Jason is his approach. He's incredibly knowledgeable and yet spacious and warm. When he's sitting and talking with you, you can see his mind is moving fast and he's processing everything at lightening speed. When I get on his table, he slows down, centers (almost imperceptibly) and checks pulses. When he places needles, he uses his intuition in addition to logic. And often my intuition and his intuition are in conversation. I feel like I am integral to his choices and actions. He trusts me and I trust him. Given that my illness has lasted 5 years thus far, I have seen many practitioners. For me Jason has been the best. read more

I found Jason's understanding of Chinese herbalism masterful. He understands not only how to diagnose and prescribe, yet also which herbs, given the condition and situation, are likely to support the body in developing the mechanism to heal itself, which is why, I feel, that his patients get long lasting results. He also has a great capacity with acupuncture (I dislike needles and never felt worried getting acupuncture with him). Last, he listens carefully and shows kindness and acceptance to patients, which helped me to feel safe in bringing up all of my questions and concerns!! I felt some fear when I went to see him, as I thought I might have a serious condition, and he sat with me through it all, reading tests, offering acupuncture and herbs, and helping me get to the root of what was happening (which luckily was not serious), and to heal. read more

I recently moved to Boulder and with the recommendation of my son decided to make an appointment to see Jason for a skin condition that caused relentless itching for the previous 3 months. This was the first time that I had received acupuncture or oriental medicine as a treatment for any condition. The experience was awesome and the results were even better than I could have hoped for. Not only did Jason focus on my physical symptoms of hives and itching, but addressed several other things that I had been dealing with emotionally and I am so pleased with the results in several aspects of my overall health and well being. He has helped me in a very short amount of time and I highly recommend Jason to anyone especially to those who have not had success with western medicine. Monica read more

I started going to Jason a few years ago when I was diagnosed with tinnitus. The options available to me with traditional western medicine were slim and not anything I was interested in trying. I had utilized acupuncture in the past for allergies and had responded well. However, my response this go around was amazing! Within one session and starting Chinese Herbs, my tinnitus was gone. We continued to work on my underlying constitutional issues for about five months. I am thrilled to report that the tinnitus has not returned and all is well. Jason has a wonderful understanding of the complexities of Traditional Chinese Medicine and I wholeheartedly recommend him! read more

Jason Blalack is a wonderful acupuncturist. Jason is extremely knowledgeable, kind and gentle. He has helped me time and time again with particular respiratory related symptoms- a weak spot in my constitution. I would arrive at his office feeling absolutely horrible and walk out feeling much much better. After following his herbal tea treatments for the next course of days, I would have survived my illness with out taking any dreaded over the counter meds or having to go onto antibiotics- both courses of action I try to avoid. Jason Blalack is part of my "health team" and I will continue to see him. read more
