Functional Medicine
The Functional Medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.
By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.

As we work together, you'll be empowered every step of the way to meet your individual health needs. A comprehensive history and appropriate testing are used to understand your specific genetic, biochemical and lifestyle factors contributing to your concerns. Together, we'll customize a treatment plan to meet you where you're at.
We believe that our bodies are adaptive and innately wise, capable of profound healing. While getting an accurate diagnosis is vastly important, we understand that you're much more than a diagnosis and what you're experiencing at this point in time does not limit your capabilities. You are already whole, seen, and unique! It would be an honor to be a part of your care team.
