Our Approach is Different
Our goal is to help you feel your best—and often reduce or eliminate the need for prescription medications.
We focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of your symptoms, rather than simply masking them with medications.
We take the time to understand all aspects of how you’re feeling, rather than focusing on one isolated symptom (unlike a dermatologist who might only treat a skin rash, or a neurologist who looks solely at migraines).
Through advanced lab testing, we identify factors that could be hindering your health, such as hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation, which can be addressed to reduce future health risks.
A personalized plan will be created just for you, targeting the things that may be affecting your health (like toxins or inflammation) and replacing them with what you need to recover (like specific vitamins or probiotics).
You’ll learn which supplements are right for you—and which ones may not be necessary.
To support your progress, our team offers guidance and health coaching if you need it. We act as a partner in building healthier lifestyle habits so you can enjoy long-term wellness.
For many, this approach is all it takes to start feeling like yourself again. In some cases, adding hormone replacement therapy can also be beneficial.
Why Hasn't My Doctor Helped Me?
Here’s the issue: most doctors quickly prescribe medications to address health concerns. (That’s the standard training in medical school!)
Not sleeping? There’s a pill for that.
Feeling low? More pills.
Constipated? Achy? Anxious? Check, check, and check.
While medications are sometimes necessary and effective, they often just cover up symptoms. In some cases, they even create new problems! For instance, many antidepressants can lead to weight gain and reduced libido—both discouraging side effects.
Medications frequently don’t tackle the root cause of symptoms, meaning they don’t genuinely make you WELL.
A Functional Medicine approach, however, just makes sense.
