"Inflammation is playing a role in almost every chronic disease that's out there.  If we don't address the underlying inflammation we never treat the cause and people continue down the disease pathway. Functional medicine gives you the tools to look at the root cause."

Why Functional Medicine?

 

A Better Future For Our Patients & Community

 

Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and arthritis, are the leading causes of disability and death. Nutritional and lifestyle medicine can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and can save lives.

 

Understand The Root Cause

 

In the Functional and Nutritional medicine approach, we focus on factors that lead to chronic conditions by looking at the patient's history, diet, lifestyle,  and functional lab testing to better understand and address these factors, instead of just managing these chronic conditions with drugs.

"Functional Medicine can be applied to almost every branch of medicine. If someone wants to be more satisfied with what they're doing in any branch of healing, Functional medicine will improve their knowledge of nutrition, improve their knowledge of the interrelationships between the lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, and stress with other factors like hormones and inflammation. It's a way to frame a case, it's a way to ask the right questions."
