Gary Pecho graduated Cum Laude from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in 2009. He holds a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition. Gary is an active member of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM) and the Illinois Association of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (ILAAOM). He has over 14 years of clinical experience in the treatment and prevention of disease with Acupuncture and herbal formulas. Gary is particularly interested in the treatment of infertility, low back pain, pain conditions, pain management, sports medicine, psycho-emotional disorders, stress and anxiety and pediatric complaints.
Gary’s interest in nutrition and weight management stems from a life-long love of cooking (and eating) nutritious, well-balanced meals. This passion led him to England, where he pursued and achieved a Culinary Arts degree from City and Guilds of London. Gary opened a successful bed and breakfast, a pub, and a restaurant in the Channel Islands, Jersey, England-where he was also the chef. He enjoys combining this practical knowledge and experience with his studies in nutritional therapy to help clients use food as medicine to prevent and treat disease.
