Functional Medicine
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a patient-centered, systems-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Instead of looking at each symptom as its own line of inquiry, functional medicine looks at the body systems behind those symptoms, seeking to restore balance at the deepest levels of the body.
Who is Functional Medicine For?
This is personalized medicine, there is no “one size fits all” with functional medicine. Our team will find the way your body expresses symptoms. This set of expressions is a complex web of historical data (genes and childhood), environment (exposures and toxins), lifestyle, dietary needs, and more.
Functional Medicine is ideal for those who are experiencing a variety of issues, and have tried a myriad of solutions but found no success. Symptoms of maladies may seem disparate but are not. Symptoms vary heavily but can be as simple as lack of sleep, heartburn, frequent headaches, and more. However, we recommended this style of treatment if you are experiencing any of the big five:
Fatigue
Gut and Gastrointestinal Issues
High-Stress Life/Poor Stress Response
Hormone Imbalance/Weight Gain
Autoimmune

How Does the Process Work?
Functional Medicine appointments can be accessed in person or via telehealth. This is a thorough process and our appointments are very detailed. We begin with appointments that combine cutting-edge diagnostic testing with a thorough review of diet and lifestyle factors. Specifically, we use a 3 body system clinical model where we focus on identifying and healing imbalances within the Neuroendocrine, GI, and Detoxification systems of the body. We then take this information to customize and create a program that is unique to you.
Then we implement an ongoing wellness plan with diet and lifestyle changes, and implement a supplement plan to act therapeutically to correct any imbalances the tests showed. We work closely with you along the entire way, making tweaks and adjusting the program as your needs evolve through the healing process.
Many people feel frustrated when they are handed a prescription and sent home, or told to “lose some weight” but have no idea what that means and how it will make them feel better. Functional Medicine is ideal for these people, the entire system is built around patient education and giving YOU the tools to achieve optimal health, while also guiding you through tailored protocols.
