Are you ready to take a deep dive into your health?

We look at the very foundation of your health and wellness — which, in this case, is your body. As with anything, you need a good, solid foundation on which to build. You wouldn’t construct a house on an unstable foundation without doing some prep work first. You can’t run before you can walk. And you wouldn’t bake a cake in a dirty pan.

The same applies to your health. You have to start at the bottom and work your way up. Before you can seek treatment for your Hashimoto’s, headache, or heart condition, you need to get to the root-cause of the problem and fix that first!

FAQs

  • Functional medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the root cause of disease, rather than simply treating symptoms. It takes an integrative and individualized approach to healthcare, with the goal of restoring balance within the body.

  • Traditional medicine generally looks at the body as a collection of separate systems, each with its own set of diseases. Functional medicine, on the other hand, views the body as one interconnected system. It also takes into account each person’s unique circumstances, including lifestyle, diet, environment, and genetics.

  • Functional medicine can be used to treat a wide variety of chronic conditions, such as allergies, autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and mental health conditions.

  • No, we do not. Our approach relies heavily on natural nutraceuticals, including herbal support, vitamins, and minerals, along with structural work and detox modalities such as saunas, castor oil packs, and other external therapies in our protocols. In addition to this, we focus on nervous system regulation in a majority of our clients as well. These methods are designed to reduce toxin, infection, and chronic stress levels, allowing the body to regain its ability for self-regulation.

    If we find something that we are unable to manage within our office, we will make the necessary referral and would be happy to co-manage care at that point.

  • Yes, many people find that they can integrate functional medicine with conventional treatments such as medication or surgery in order to maximize their overall health and well-being. However, always speak with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your current treatment regimen.
