What Is Our Mission?
Functional medicine is an advanced type of healthcare that looks for the underlying causes of chronic health conditions. It considers how all body systems work together and are connected. It is typically very expensive, complicated, and difficult to find. These make functional medicine unavailable to those who need it. We want to solve these issues and help make functional medicine more accessible. Our mission is to bring the benefits of functional medicine to everyone. We offer lower costs, step by step action plans, and convenient meetings to make it as accessible as possible.
What Is Functional Medicine?
The purpose of functional medicine is to discover the underlying causes of disease. With standard treatments, the solution for many chronic diseases is to take medications and cover up the symptoms. (While medications are needed in a number of circumstances), blocking the symptoms or warning signs, in many cases, doesn’t address the root of the problem. Medications aren’t designed to heal your body from the condition. Functional medicine goes deeper to discover why you have a particular condition and then works towards removing the factors that may have triggered it in the first place. Functional medicine uses advanced diagnostic laboratory testing in order to find the source of the problem. Furthermore, it works to nutritionally support and naturally rebuild that system of the body with specialized targeted protocols.
What Are The Meetings Like?
Convenient and personalized meetings are designed to uncover lifestyle and environmental stressors that may be contributing to the problems you may be experiencing. We may asses multiple body systems and may order testing for hormone levels, infections, food sensitivities, inflammatory markers, or tests for vitamin or mineral deficiencies to identify the sources of your complaints. The 1:1 meetings are customized to your specific needs.
Who Do We Work With?
We enjoy working with anyone who is looking to optimize their health, prevent future problems, and perform at their highest level. If we are going to live our best life and feel our best, we must consider the following. Whatever that important role is – wife, mother, husband, dad, business owner, CEO, coach, manager, counselor, teacher, student, or athlete – whatever your calling happens to be, your health and how you feel is absolutely foundational. When your health is not at its best and you don’t feel right, all those valuable elements of life begin to suffer. When you don’t feel well, your passion starts to decline. Your career, your drive, your relationships – all of those things are affected. When you feel great, you can put more into each one of those important parts of life. We are here to improve your health, so you can feel better, and better pursue your calling in life.
