Functional Medicine is a root cause resolution approach to restoring health. It is patient-centered, rather than disease-centered. It seeks the underlying cause of disease by looking for deficiencies in the body and supporting your immune system's innate ability to heal.
Your first appointment includes 60-75 minutes with our Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner where you will be able to share your health concerns and desired outcomes. Initial general bloodwork is included in the new patient appointment cost.
Your new patient forms can be downloaded from the link on this website and must be emailed to us one week prior to your first appointment. This will allow your practitioner an hour or more to make a thorough assessment and review of your history and health concerns prior to your first office visit.
Once a thorough, detailed assessment of your history, lifestyle, genetics, environmental and mental factors is made, our functional medicine practitioner will use the latest lab testing technology to create a personalized health regimen for you. This may include detoxification, lifestyle and diet change, stress management techniques, supplements and botanical medicines to aid your God given immune system in restoring health.
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to review lab results and your wellness regimen will be established. Depending upon the complexity of your case, follow-ups may be necessary every 4-12 weeks for the first year or until maintenance is achieved.
We may also refer you to Nutritional Consultation, Health Coach, Life Coach, or other medical specialists as part of your wellness regimen.
