Functional medicine is a holistic healthcare approach that aims to identify and address the root causes of disease. It focuses on the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence an individual’s health.

Unlike conventional medicine, which primarily treats symptoms with medication or surgery, functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness—such as lifestyle, diet, and environmental factors. This personalized, patient-centered approach uses a systems biology perspective to restore balance and prevent disease rather than relying on standardized protocols and acute symptom management.

Our functional medicine approach may be used to address a wide range of concerns, including hormone imbalances, gut health disorders, anxiety and mental health issues, thyroid conditions, fatigue, and autoimmunity, among others.

Your initial visit will include a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your health history, symptoms, and goals. This visit may also include diagnostic lab testing to further understand your health needs. Once we have a clear assessment of your current challenges, we’ll craft a care plan that incorporates nutrition and lifestyle adjustments along with tailored supplementation to address your long-term goals.

At our clinic, we primarily focus on evaluating and tracking a comprehensive functional panel, including hormone testing, to gain a deeper understanding of your health. If food allergies or general gut dysfunction are suspected, we guide clients through the gold standard elimination and reintroduction diet, providing a more precise assessment and often resolving symptoms. If curiosity about allergies or gut health remains after completing the elimination diet, we can order food allergy testing and comprehensive stool testing for further insights. All recommendations are tailored to your unique combination of symptoms and health concerns.

Treatment plans are developed based on a comprehensive evaluation of your health, including lab results, health history, and personal health goals. Plans are personalized and may include dietary recommendations, supplements, lifestyle changes, and other natural therapies.

Supplements may be recommended as part of your treatment plan to address nutritional deficiencies, support healing processes, and promote overall well-being.

Follow-up appointments vary based on individual needs and treatment plans. Initially, follow-ups may be more frequent to monitor progress and adjust treatments as necessary.
