How We Treat

Functional Medicine is a revolutionary approach to patient care that moves beyond the paradigm of conventional medicine. Current methodology seeks to establish a diagnosis, then treat or manage the condition. Curative treatment is possible in cases of easily recognized problems, like antibiotics for pneumonia for example. For chronic disease, medical management, mostly through prescription drugs, is the standard. Over the course of their lives the average American will collect diagnoses and prescriptions remaining fundamentally sick the entire time. 

Rather than a pharmaceuticals first strategy, FM embraces dietary and lifestyle changes with a focus on improving metabolism, decreasing chronic inflammation, and reversing what are generally considered to be incurable diseases.

We focus on the whole person. We understand that each person has a unique past, individual gene expression and their own journey that deserves our attention.
