The Approach
Understanding
The process requires understanding of each patient's lifestyle, genetic disposition and biochemical factors to direct a personalized treatment plan that can generate positive patient outcomes.
Addressing the root
We address the root cause of their disease rather than focusing on symptoms. Through this process we can provide individual care to a specific disease process and promote healing.
patient centered
We shift away from the traditional disease centered focus of medicine to practice a more patient centered approach.
Functional medical providers use an upstream approach looking at the complex interactions in the patient's history. Through this process we identify predisposing events, triggers and contributors to disease.
the whole picture
The healing process begins by addressing the internal mental, emotional and spiritual health along with the physical body and social environment.
We address a person's modifiable lifestyle factors which include focusing on stress reduction, sleep, nutrition, movement and fostering positive relationships.
Health JOURNEY
We use a combination of prescribed medications, botanical medicine, supplements, detoxification treatments and lifestyle changes to reach optimal health.
This approach empowers the patient to continue a lifelong journey of physical and spiritual wellness.
