Functional Medicine
What is Functional Medicine?
Our model of care in Functional Medicine provides a distinctive patient-centered strategy for addressing chronic disease and enhancing wellness. Our goal is to answer the question “Why are YOU ill?” to deliver personalized and effective care tailored to your needs. We are committed to actively listening to you, taking the necessary time to gather an accurate history and summary of your specific conditions, with a focus on biochemical, genetic, and lifestyle factors.
This information is instrumental in identifying the root cause of your ailments, specifically examining triggers like poor nutrition, stress, toxins, allergens, and the state of your microbiome. Our dedicated approach ensures a comprehensive understanding to guide targeted and individualized care for your well-being.
