Why use funtional medicine?

Why use a functional medicine approach to health?

Not sure what functional medicine is? It’s the practice of finding and treating the true root-cause of an imbalance or disease. Functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the inter-connectedness among environmental and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the uniqueness in each individual. Using lab testing or investigative work we can get to the root of the issue.

Just  a few of the conditions a functional medicine approach can address:

Digestion

We can get to the root of your issues. We cover dysbiosis, food intolerance, impaired digestion and more.

Fatigue

What's keeping you from a good night sleep? We can work through the possibilities. 

Estrogen dominance, hormone mimickers, diet,  stress, hidden thyroid issues, how do they all play a role?

Detoxification

Education, exposures, testing, detoxification, genetics are all possible issues. I can help determine your best approach and guide you through the process.

Insulin Resistance

Using food as medicine we can work on finding balance in blood sugar and energy levels

Stress

Managing stress effectively may be the most important piece of your health puzzle.
