Functional Medicine:
Your Path to Wellness
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach that shifts the focus from merely managing disease to restoring optimal health. Unlike conventional medicine, which often targets symptoms with quick fixes, Functional Medicine asks why you’re experiencing issues—whether it’s fatigue, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, or chronic conditions—and addresses the interconnected systems of your body.

The Power of Functional Medicine:
Transforming Health from the Inside Out
Functional Medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. By considering the interconnectedness of genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors, Functional Medicine provides a holistic, long-term solution for better health.
Root Cause Approach, Not Just Symptom Relief
Traditional medicine often treats symptoms with medication, but Functional Medicine goes deeper, identifying and addressing the underlying causes of chronic conditions. This leads to sustainable healing and long-term wellness rather than temporary relief.
Personalized & Holistic Care
Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, Functional Medicine creates customized treatment plans based on your genetics, lifestyle, environment, and unique health history. This whole-body perspective ensures that all aspects of your health are considered for the best possible outcomes.
Focus on Prevention & Long-Term Wellness
Rather than just reacting to illness, Functional Medicine emphasizes preventative care and proactive health management. By using advanced lab testing, lifestyle modifications, and targeted therapies, it helps prevent chronic diseases and supports lasting vitality.
Questions? We have answers.
Traditional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms with medication, while Functional Medicine aims to uncover and treat the underlying causes of health conditions. It also takes a holistic approach, looking at how different systems in the body interact, rather than just focusing on isolated symptoms.
Your first consultation will be an in-depth discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, diet, stress levels, sleep, and symptoms. Advanced lab testing may be recommended to uncover hidden imbalances. Based on this information, you will receive a personalized treatment plan that may include nutrition recommendations, supplements, lifestyle modifications, and other therapies.
While Functional Medicine focuses on natural approaches, medications may still be used when necessary. The goal is to reduce dependency on medications over time by addressing the root causes of health issues and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
Most insurance plans do not fully cover Functional Medicine consultations, as they are considered preventative and integrative care. However, some tests and treatments may be eligible for reimbursement with HSA (Health Savings Accounts) or FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts). We recommend checking with your insurance provider for details.
