Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease. It can help reduce symptoms from Diabetes Type II, Hypothyroidism, Adrenal Fatigue and Postmenopause, as well as other health conditions. A holistic approach is taken in functional medicine, including a review of the patient’s symptoms, daily activities, mental condition, life cycle and eating habits. A sophisticated blood analysis is also completed. A typical treatment plan will include supplementation, diet/lifestyle changes, physical activity and stress management.
Diagnoses are made through a series of convenient testing. Before starting a treatment plan, patients complete paperwork (also available online), have vitals taken and a consultation is set up to discuss the patient’s history. If eligible for the program, an appointment is scheduled at a local lab for a blood chemistry panel. Once the blood is taken, results are analyzed and a health blueprint is provided identifying each step in the program. A support system is one of the most important aspects of functional medicine. Couples, friends and teams are welcomed to participate together!
