Functional medicine seeks to identify the root causes behind why your body may not be functioning optimally. Instead of focusing solely on symptoms, it looks deeper to understand what underlying factors are impacting your health. A functional medicine practitioner acts as a health detective, gathering detailed information about your:

• Family history including upbringing
• Family dynamics
• Any past trauma
• Health history encompassing symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, and other relevant experiences.

• Current environment
• Potential toxin exposure
• Social interactions
• Stress levels
• Relationships
• Diet
• Exercise habits
• Sleep patterns
• Aany symptoms you’re experiencing

From this comprehensive assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at addressing the root causes of your symptoms, which may involve:

– Restoring healthy gut bacteria and digestive processes
– Supporting detoxification pathways
– Enhancing immune function and managing inflammation
– Addressing nutrient deficiencies
– Balancing and supporting hormonal health

The Functional Medicine approach may include, as needed, prescription medications alongside nutritional guidance, botanical remedies, supplements, detoxification protocols, stress management techniques, and physical activity recommendations.

Our team can collaborate with your primary care physician, internist, gynecologist, or other specialists to create a tailored wellness program that aligns with their treatments while incorporating our recommendations on diet, nutrition, functional testing, and stress management.

With expertise in Preventive and Lifestyle Medicine, we offer valuable support in managing complex chronic conditions and in identifying fundamental imbalances and lifestyle factors that might be affecting your health, helping you to achieve better health as you age.
