Comprehensive Functional Medicine Services: Your Path to Optimal Health

Functional Medicine: A Holistic Approach to Health

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness and disease. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or procedures, functional medicine aims to understand the underlying factors that contribute to health problems. As practitioners, we take into account the patient’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors to create personalized treatment plans. Through an extensive consultation, medical history reviews, and specialized testing we can uncover imbalances and deficiencies that may be contributing to health issues.

What We Provide:

1. Personalized Care: We take into account each patient's unique genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors when developing treatment plans.

2. Holistic Approach: We view the body as an interconnected system, where all parts affect each other. It seeks to promote overall health and well-being rather than just treating isolated symptoms.

3. Integrative Therapies: Treatment plans often incorporate a combination of lifestyle modifications, nutrition counseling, supplements, herbal therapy, stress management techniques, and other alternative therapies.

4. Prevention and Long-term Health: By addressing underlying imbalances and promoting lifestyle changes, we are aiming to prevent future health problems and optimize long-term health outcomes.

5. Patient Empowerment: Our goal is to encourage patients to actively participate in their own health journey, making informed decisions and taking responsibility for their well-being.

Overall, functional medicine seeks to shift the focus of healthcare from merely managing symptoms to addressing the underlying causes of disease, promoting vitality and resilience in patients.

How It Works:

1. Schedule a consultation: During this time we will get a comprehensive look into symptoms, health/genetic history and any environmental or lifestyle factors. 

2. Functional blood testing: Functional blood testing goes beyond standard lab tests by providing detailed insights into various biomarkers and physiological processes in the body. These tests and our interpretations are designed to identify imbalances, deficiencies, and early signs of dysfunction that may not be apparent in routine blood work. Tests may include assessments of hormones, nutrient levels, inflammation markers, digestive function, and metabolic health, among others. 

3. Creating a treatment plan: The results will help us tailor personalized treatment plans based on your individual needs to get you on a path toward optimal health and symptoms relief. Treatment plans will incorporate a combination of lifestyle modifications, nutrition counseling, supplements, herbal therapy, stress management techniques, and other alternative therapies. 

4. Starting the healing path: We follow a very strategic map to addressing healing. Based on bloodwork, symptoms and which of these factors are at play will determine our path.
