What We Treat
We treat people, not symptoms.
What We Treat
What we really treat is YOU, but here are some of the complaints our patients come to us with.
Gut Dysfunction
Functional medicine treats gut dysfunction by identifying and addressing the root causes of digestive issues, such as inflammation, food sensitivities, imbalances in gut bacteria, or infections. We take a personalized approach, evaluating diet, lifestyle, stress, and environmental factors. Treatment often includes dietary changes, such as removing trigger foods or allergens, improving gut microbiome health with probiotics or prebiotics, and repairing the gut lining using specific nutrients. The goal is to restore optimal gut function, reduce inflammation, and improve your overall health by supporting the digestive system's key role in the body.
Autoimmune Diseases
Functional medicine treats autoimmune diseases by addressing the root causes of the condition, rather than just managing symptoms. We focus on a personalized approach, examining factors like genetics, environment, lifestyle, diet, and gut health. The goal is to reduce inflammation, restore immune balance, and support the body's natural healing processes. We often use dietary changes, stress management, supplements, and detoxification to improve your immune function and reduce the triggers that lead to your autoimmune reactions.
Hormones
Functional medicine treats hormonal imbalances by identifying the root causes of dysfunction, such as stress, poor diet, toxins, or underlying health conditions. We take a personalized approach, looking at how lifestyle factors, sleep, nutrition, and environmental exposures impact your hormone levels. Treatment often involves dietary adjustments, stress management, and supplements or natural therapies to support the body’s endocrine system. The goal is to restore balance in hormones like thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), promoting overall well-being and resolving symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, or weight issues.
Chronic Illness
Functional medicine treats chronic illness by addressing the underlying causes of disease rather than just managing symptoms. We take a holistic, patient-centered approach, examining factors like genetics, lifestyle, diet, environmental exposures, and stress. We aim to restore balance in your body’s systems, such as reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and optimizing hormone and immune function. Treatment plans often include personalized dietary changes, stress reduction techniques, targeted supplements, and lifestyle modifications to promote long-term healing and prevent disease progression.
Mental Health
Functional medicine treats mental health by addressing the underlying causes of emotional and psychological issues, such as imbalances in nutrition, gut health, hormones, inflammation, and stress. We take a holistic, personalized approach, evaluating how factors like diet, lifestyle, environmental toxins, and genetics may contribute to conditions like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and more. Treatment often includes dietary changes to support brain health, supplementation for deficiencies, stress reduction techniques, and improving gut health, which is very closely linked to mental well-being. The goal is to restore balance in the body and brain, promoting mental clarity and emotional stability.
Unexplained Symptoms
Functional medicine treats unexplained symptoms by focusing on finding the root causes through a holistic, individualized approach. We assess factors like diet, lifestyle, genetics, gut health, and environmental exposures to identify potential imbalances. Rather than addressing isolated symptoms, we look at how different body systems interact with each other. We use tools like comprehensive lab testing, dietary changes, supplements, and stress management to restore balance and promote healing, often uncovering underlying issues like inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or nutrient deficiencies.
