FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine aims to return the body to its optimal state through the use of diet, supplements, herbs, and lifestyle modifications. While traditional medicine is very effective at treating acute symptoms with medication, functional medicine improves your overall health, preventing disease before it occurs. It is also particularly effective in treating chronic conditions, by delineating and addressing their root cause.
The importance of diet, supplements and environment to a person's health cannot be overemphasized. For example, many recent studies have shown that certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies, as well as toxic overload from one's environment can lead to disease. Moreover, our diet and lifestyle have a strong influence on how our genes are expressed. We use cutting-edge laboratory tests to determine precisely which vitamins, minerals, probiotics, botanicals, dietary and lifestyle modifications you need to bring your body to its optimal state. These tests check your:
- nutrient status
- toxic load
- genetic predispositions
- gut microbiome
- food sensitivities
- hormonal balance
As you adhere to the treatment plan, I will guide you each step of the way. Together, we will monitor the changes in your overall health, and make the necessary adjustments to achieve long-lasting results. We use functional medicine to help with:
- chronic pain
- migraines
- gastrointestinal issues
- chronic infections
- autoimmune disorders
- diabetes
- weight management issues
- allergies
- food sensitivities
- emotional disorders
- infertility
- women’s health issues
