Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic health issues, using comprehensive testing, lifestyle analysis, and personalized treatment plans to support your body’s natural healing processes.
Functional medicine takes a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment, considering aspects of an individual’s medical history and determinants of health—this information is considered alongside data gathered from comprehensive diagnostic testing to create your unique lifestyle, nutritional, and nutraceutical treatment plan.
Root-cause approach to healing – Focuses on the underlying causes of illness, rather than just treating symptoms, for more sustainable and long-term health.
Personalized care – Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan based on their unique genetics, lifestyle, environment, and health history—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Integrative and holistic – Combines modern science with natural therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to support the body’s innate healing processes and promote overall wellness.
Focus on prevention – Empowers patients to manage their own health, prevent disease, improve energy, and live with vitality.

Functional medicine is a personalized, evidence-based approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine, which often relies on pharmaceuticals or surgery, functional medicine uses a holistic approach—including lifestyle changes, nutrition, and natural therapies—to restore balance and improve long-term health.
Functional medicine is commonly used to manage chronic conditions such as digestive disorders (IBS, Crohn’s), autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, thyroid disorders, metabolic issues, menstrual issues, fertility, and mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression. It’s also an effective preventive approach for individuals looking to optimize their overall wellness.
Your initial consultation will typically be 60 minutes and will include a comprehensive review of your health history, lifestyle, diet, stress levels, and current symptoms. Your provider will order necessary diagnostic tests to uncover underlying imbalances.
At the next visit—the review of findings—the patient and provider will go over laboratory test results and treatment options. This visit typically lasts 30-60 minutes, in-office or via telemedicine. Your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan focused on diet, lifestyle, supplements, and other integrative therapies.
Follow-up appointments, to discuss patient progress and make any needed modifications to the treatment plan, are recommended every 3 to 4 weeks. These appointments typically last 30-60 minutes, in-office or via telemedicine. Acupuncture may be included as part of in-person visits.
