Our Functional Medicine
Diseases don’t exist. Not in the way we think they do; just like the world appears flat but it isn’t. Functional Medicine is a way of practicing medicine that focuses on the mechanisms that are affected by our environment washing over our cells, creating downstream effects that we call “disease.”
In order to get well, you must fix the cell. Cellular inflammation is the key contributor to many health conditions and diseases. Poor lifestyle choices, genetics, and toxicity all play a part in the underlying disease process. Through specific testing and advanced cellular healing protocols you can heal the body at the cellular level.
Our comprehensive Functional Medicine program focuses on uncovering the underlying cause of disease in the body and helping to remove that cause. We strive to educate you through your entire program. You will often hear us describe this program as a “health academy,” because our goal for you is to learn everything there is to know about healing your body naturally. There will be a lot to learn, but we will walk with you through this health journey.
Most Common Questions
Functional Medicine is the opposite of dysfunctional medicine. It is a new way of navigating through the landscape of disease. Based on mechanisms and causes, not symptoms and diseases, Functional Medicine is personalized medicine. We examine everything about how things connect and how things heal using a comprehensive health and medical history, conventional testing, as well as various biomarkers and functional tests. This helps us to understand the landscape of disease in the body to make customized recommendations that address the underlying cause of disease.
