Integrative & Functional Medicine

Integrative Medicine is an approach that treats the body, mind and spirit. The practitioner first learns about the patient and their lifestyle, including their eating habits, sleep patterns, exposure to toxins and daily stressors to develop a treatment modality that works to treat the whole person in order to achieve true healing and well-being rather than just masking the disease with a prescription drug or surgical intervention. Functional Medicine narrows the approach of Integrative Medicine by trying to identify the root cause of the disease. Practitioners will utilize detailed patient history questionnaires and specialized genetic-level testing to help determine the root cause of the disease and then work in partnership with the patient to heal them. Our unique approach is a collaborative one that undertakes the principles of both integrative medicine and functional medicine. This allows us to create a personalized approach of patient care. We individualize each treatment plan after first identifying the root cause of the disease or chronic illness and then the practitioner and patient work together through the healing journey.
