What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a type of health care that focuses on discovering the underlying causes of chronic health complaints. With advanced lab testing and understanding how all body systems are connected – we can address the source of the problem, instead of just treating the part of the body that has the symptoms. Functional medicine goes deeper to discover why you have a particular condition, and then work towards removing the factors that may have triggered it in the first place, to help you heal naturally.

Everything is connected.

Everything is Connected

The GI system, for example, is typically thought of as its own separate system. In reality, it affects every part of the body including the brain and immune system. Your gut houses most of your immune system. Bacteria in the gut produce several of our neurotransmitters. An unhealthy gut can lead to headaches, skin conditions, joint pain, fatigue, or mood disorders.

Advanced Testing

Going beyond the basic CBC tests, lab testing is one of functional medicine's greatest strengths. Test kits are delivered to your front door. Some test require a simple saliva, or urine sample, or finger prick at home. Others require a blood draw which you can do at a local lab or with a mobile service at your home. After mailing the sample to the lab, your test results are ready in two weeks.
