Frequently Asked Questions

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. It integrates advanced lab testing, lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and holistic therapies to restore balance and optimize well-being.

Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on managing symptoms with medications, functional medicine seeks to uncover the underlying causes of health issues. It considers factors like genetics, diet, lifestyle, and environment to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each individual.

Functional medicine can support a wide range of chronic and complex conditions, including:

• Digestive disorders (IBS, leaky gut, bloating)

• Autoimmune diseases

• Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, adrenal fatigue, menopause)

• Chronic fatigue and brain fog

• Metabolic disorders (diabetes, obesity)

• Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders

• Skin conditions (eczema, acne, psoriasis)

• Food sensitivities and allergies

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive consultation, including a detailed review of your health history, symptoms, diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
