Discover the Power of Functional Medicine
Activating your body's natural ability to heal.
Root Causes
In simplest terms, think of it as a personalized, one-on-one, therapeutic relationship. It’s a health-focused, patient-centric partnership, in which provider and patient work together to dig deep and find out the causes of illness and disease.
Nutrition and Lifestyle
With a step-by-step approach, a healthy lifestyle is something we can build up over time. Little by little we’ll crowd out the bad choices by choosing healthy alternatives that we actually enjoy. What you eat and drink is absolutely, directly related to how you feel and function.
Evaluation and Labs
Functional Medicine labs use advanced laboratory testing to identify the root cause or causes of the patient’s health problem. Evaluating how organ systems are functioning, rather than looking for a specific disease is a basic principle of Functional Medicine.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine refers to the practice of caring for patients remotely when the provider and patient are not physically present with each other. Modern technology has enabled providers to consult patients by using HIPAA-compliant video conferencing tools.
Medications
Functional Medicine practitioners use a combination of natural agents such as supplements, herbs, nutraceuticals and homeopathics, and if necessary pharmaceuticals to prod a patient’s physiology back to an optimal state.
