What is Functional Medicine?

Defining Functional Medicine

Accordingly, Functional Medicine is an approach to address the root cause of system-imbalance that results in disease processes. It does this particularly by restoring harmony and balance to the body through the following methods:

  • Body Detox
  • Laboratory Assessment – (we do take further urinary, salivary, and blood testing to analyze root problems such as minerals in the body, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, melatonin, etc.
  • Behavioral Modification
    • Nutritional Support
    • Exercise
    • Using proper vitamins and minerals supplementation when deficiency is present
    • Balancing Hormones through nutritional supplementation and bio-identical hormones.

Generally, our Functional Medicine / Weight Management program is a guided behavioral lifestyle change program for patients looking to live a healthier life.  Never feel uncomfortable in your own skin again! Significantly, this program is supported by supplements, medications and nutrition to address the root cause and enhance longevity.

Check on your Health

We also encourage you to see your family physician first for a physical and lab check-up. Take further care of your medical concerns and conditions first before consulting one of our care providers for our Functional Medicine and Weight Management program. We can generally consider hormonal solutions, supplements, and medication once we understand where your health is! We’ll check your results through urinary tests, salivary tests, and blood tests to figure out the best solutions for optimal health.
