Welcome to The 5 Element Approach
Hello! I'm Erika Weber, Acupuncturist Physician, and Chinese Medicine Herbalist.
Drawing from over 20 years of clinical experience and the constitutional framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I created The Five Element Approach to Lasting Health to bring ancient diagnostic clarity into modern life. This method identifies your unique energetic pattern and integrates both Eastern and Western perspectives to create precise, sustainable change. It’s not about chasing symptoms — it’s about understanding your design.
About the Method
• Rooted in the constitutional branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine
• Identifies the underlying specific pattern shaping your energy, digestion, mood, sleep, and stress response
• Moves beyond symptom-chasing toward precise, personalized alignment
• Focuses on identifying underlying patterns — not just treating symptoms
• You move away from random protocols and toward alignment with what your body naturally needs
In Five Element theory:
• Each person has a primary constitutional tendency which aligns with one of the 5 element.
Each element reacts with other elements creating a holistic approach to the method.
What sets this approach apart:
• Integrates both Eastern and Western perspectives
• Blends classical Chinese medical theory with modern physiology and hormone insight
• Applies ancient diagnostic wisdom in a practical way for contemporary life
The focus is not short-term symptom relief — but sustainable vitality built on self-understanding.
This is not a quick fix.
It is a framework for lasting change.
Who This Is For
This work is for individuals who feel like their body has changed — but don’t fully understand why.
It’s for those navigating shifts in energy, mood, digestion, sleep, stress tolerance, or hormones and want a deeper, more intelligent framework for what’s happening.
It’s for people who are tired of trying random protocols and are ready for a personalized approach rooted in pattern recognition.
It’s especially supportive for adults in midlife and beyond who want to move from symptom-chasing to sustainable vitality.
You don’t need to be in crisis.
You simply need to be ready for a smarter lens.
