Functional Medicine
Summary
Functional medicine seeks to discover the root cause of symptoms, disease, illness and dysfunction. With a focus on root cause, we can empower patients to understand their symptoms and begin the process of healing and restoring optimal health. The components of the functional medicine matrix assist the patient in understanding the aspects of their health that are impacting their symptoms. It treats the whole patient, incorporating mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of health. Functional medicine is evidence based, customized and patient centered. It is a powerful practice that can set the patient on a new path toward health and wellness.
Treatments
We offer functional medicine consults that address all aspects of functional medicine care including assimilation (gut health), defense and repair (inflammation, infection), energy (mitochondrial function), biotransformation and elimination (toxicity and detoxification), transport (cardiovascular and lymphatic disease), structural integrity (cellular and musculoskeletal) and communication (endocrine, neurotransmitters and immune disease).
