Why Functional Medicine?
Identify and address the root causes of disease rather than merely treating symptoms.
Thyroid
In testing a complete thyroid panel and supplementing with the appropriate levels of T2, T3 and T4 as well as lowering antibodies, patients will start to thrive and feel like themselves again.
Gut Health
A focus on gut health is essential for improving digestion, nutrient absorption, hair growth, energy, hormone production and overall well-being. This is essential to address in prevention and reversal of autoimmunity.
Metabolism
Balancing insulin levels is crucial for managing energy, metabolism/weight, and overall health.
Hormone Replacement
Optimize health, vitality, energy and minimize symptoms by implementing hormone therapy early if indicated. Hormone replacement therapy is not just important for symptoms, but also to minimize dementia, bone loss and heart disease.
Vitality & Well-being
Functional medicine promotes vitality and overall well-being by focusing on individualized care and the interconnectedness of body systems, aiming to address the root causes of health concerns for comprehensive well-being.
Inflammation
Inflammation is at the root of many chronic health issues and while inflammation is a natural and protective response by your body to injury or infection, when it becomes chronic, it can lead to long-term damage and contribute to disease.
