The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.
Many health-related conditions stem from imbalances and nutritional deficiencies that need to be corrected in order for healing to occur. Therefore, professional-grade supplements and dietary changes may be suggested for you. During a consultation, we will determine which tests are needed. These tests assess nutritional status, mitochondrial function, digestive function, food allergies, hormone imbalances, toxin exposure, and more.
A disease state or condition can be caused by many different factors, including inflammation, poor gut health, nutrient deficiencies, lifestyle choices, diet, etc. The precise manifestation of each cause depends on an individual’s genes, environment, and lifestyle. Only treatment that addresses the right cause will successfully treat the condition and have lasting benefits for the individual. Functional medicine is not a drug free approach, but an integration of health, wellness, and root-cause medicine that works alongside conventional/allopathic medicine.

We all have health concerns and goals. Some struggle with weight, some with sleep, and some are simply looking for ways to optimize their health. Regardless of the concern, functional medicine acknowledges there is rarely a “one size fits all” solution. With a detailed history and appropriate testing, we can assemble the pieces of your puzzle to improve your health span… not just your life span. My greatest joy and goal is helping you achieve yours!
