functional medicine
Holistic healthcare rooted in your whole story
Approaching your health through the lens of functional medicine gives us access to a deeper and more connected view of your whole body’s systems. We’re able to braid this care in with Western medicine, which often focuses on siloed symptom treatment and management.
The functional medicine perspective builds upon that to guide us to the root cause of your problem — creating more personalized and effective treatment plans for active diagnoses while also focusing on prevention for lifelong wellness.
The Framework
The functional medicine approach
In functional medicine, we are never treating just one symptom or system — we’re supporting the interconnected systems of the entire body. Addressing any one health concern requires examination of these pillars:
Diagnostic & Treatment
An expanded toolkit
We use a full suite of diagnostic and treatment tools to assess your needs based on symptoms, lab results, and lifestyle habits — working in tandem with Western medicine rather than in opposition to it.
- Expanded blood tests
(Questlabs, Cyrex leaky gut testing, Grail cancer marker testing, Mycotoxin testing) - GI-MAP® testing for microbiome health
- Food sensitivity testing
- Comprehensive symptom survey
- Supplements & herbal therapy
