Functional Medicine

 

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired with no answers or solutions to your health problems?  Are your doctors ignoring your concerns or just giving you more pills to mask your symptoms without treating the underlying root cause?  If this sounds familiar, Functional Medicine just may be the solution you are looking for!  

 

Our functional medicine program includes: comprehensive lab testing with a detailed assessment, natural supplement recommendations, and nutritional and lifestyle counseling.  

The best part of this program?  You will have access to a physician who truly listens and addresses your concerns, answers your questions and is there for you every step of the way!

​

What is Functional Medicine?

 

Functional Medicine is a scientific approach to the prevention and

early assessment of complex, chronic diseases, and the use of

natural therapies to restore health and well-being. The focus of FM

is not on the condition itself but more on identifying and removing

the underlying cause and the obstacles that block our healing, and

improving existing physiological systems. Our patients utilize FM to

have their condition treated but also achieve a high quality of life

because the focus is on the whole person and not just the disease.

 

How Does Functional Medicine Work?

 

We begin by getting a thorough history of your past and present

health information and lab work.  In Functional Medicine, the

physician acts as a “medical detective", piecing together all of

your medical information, health assessments, history and lab

findings to provide a clear picture of the disease mechanism.  By

identifying the main culprits (i.e. bacteria, parasites, heavy metal toxicity,

food allergies, stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, etc.) we are

able to treat the root cause of your condition, providing you with

the most optimal results.  Conventional medicine skips this step and jumps right into the treatment, often missing the valuable information that provides answers to your health problems.
