Functional Medicine
Personalized Healthcare for Long-Term Wellness and Aging Gracefully
Functional Medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness and chronic conditions, rather than just treating symptoms.
It's not about what you have, it's about why you have it.
Functional Medicine emphasizes long-term wellness and aims to prevent accelerated aging, preserving your body's vitality as you age. By working to maintain your health and protect your “real estate” (your body), Functional Medicine targets the underlying causes of inflammation, which can contribute to a wide range of physical and mental health issues.
What Functional Medicine Offers
Root Cause Identification: We don’t just treat symptoms. Functional Medicine identifies the root causes of your condition, from inflammation to hormonal imbalances, gut health issues, and more, so you can live your healthiest, most vibrant life.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Functional Medicine creates individualized health strategies tailored to your unique needs. This may include dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, supplements, and integrative therapies that work to protect your body’s systems and prevent accelerated aging.
Chronic Disease Prevention and Management: Focused on maintaining your health and preventing disease, Functional Medicine helps address chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues, providing long-term solutions that go beyond quick fixes.
Hunting for Inflammation: Inflammation from any source—whether physical, environmental, or emotional—can accelerate aging and contribute to a wide range of health issues. We go “hunting” for inflammation and target its causes to reduce its harmful effects on your body.
Protecting Your Brain and Immune System: As we age, it's essential to preserve the health of our brain and immune systems. Functional Medicine addresses these sensitive areas by balancing hormones, improving gut health, and supporting cognitive and immune function, helping you age gracefully.
Gut Health and Digestive Support: Your gut is at the center of your overall health. Functional Medicine focuses on restoring digestive health, addressing issues like bloating, indigestion, food sensitivities, and more, which can impact your overall wellness.
Holistic Aging: Aging gracefully is about protecting your body’s systems, preventing the acceleration of age-related decline, and addressing the root causes of physical discomfort. Functional Medicine gives you the tools to maintain your health and vitality over time.
