Functional medicine uses a variety of holistic methods to address chronic health conditions.
Over the past several years I have grown in my passion, education and expertise within the Functional Medicine realm. Through completion of the Institute for Functional Medicine curriculum, I have invested substantial time and energy to better serve people in our community.
So what is Functional Medicine?
It is a holistic (looking at all aspects of the individual) approach to healthcare in which the doctor seeks to identify the source or root cause of a patient's health troubles and offer tailored plans of care to remedy health issues. This type of care begins with a long conversation about your lifestyle, risk factors, and health history. We will then discuss any necessary testing that needs to be completed and create your plan.
The most common conditions that I am seeing in the office right now include: digestive health concerns, hormonal imbalances, auto-immune disorders, psoriasis/eczema, and food sensitivities.
Whether your treatment plan includes supplementation, dietary changes, lifestyle changes, and/or cooperative care with another provider, I will be with you every step of the way to ensure that we are making progress toward your goals.
