What is Functional Medicine?

A Deep Dive

Our Process

Functional Medicine is a revolutionary approach to patient care that moves beyond the paradigm of conventional medicine. Conventional medicine addresses the what. What is the name of the condition that represents your symptoms and what pill can be prescribed to treat those symptoms. Functional medicine finds out the why. Through lab testing, complete patient history, timeline and a physical exam we are often able to identify the why of the symptoms and reverse the condition through nutrition interventions and lifestyle modification. We 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.

What to expect

Find the Root Cause

Traditional medicine only addresses the symptoms. What is the name of the condition that represents your symptoms and what pill can be prescribed to treat those symptoms. Functional medicine finds out why your symptoms exist. Through extensive lab testing, complete patient history, timeline and a physical exam we are often able to identify the why of the symptoms and reverse the condition.

Lab Testing

We partner with specialized labs all over the country to provide saliva, stool and blood testing.

Physical Exam

In office, hands on physical exams.

History

We take a thorough history starting from before birth that includes possible exposures, medications, traumas, and lifestyle factors.

Patient Centric Results

How Do We Fix IT

Through lab testing and informed history we are able to create a patient specific treatment plan. These plans may include diet and lifestyle modifications, nutritional supplements, bio-identical hormone replacement or prescription medications if required.

Not fully understanding what functional medicine was all about, but believing that traditional medical care left too many gaps to chance, I decided to be proactive and visit Vogan Functional Medicine. I was interested in a full health and wellness assessment but also on potential future issues -specifically Alzheimer's and heart disease, as both run in my family. Dr. Vogan and I discussed and agreed upon the tests to be run, and once we had the results, we talked in depth about their meaning, lifestyle changes, nutrition and supplementation. Drummond and Katie are very knowledgeable, with years of experience, and I trusted them to guide me throughout the process from beginning to end. I'm glad I did!

Dr. Vogan is very knowledgeable and professional and really cares about his patients and about getting them healthy! He keeps current on the most recent findings and is always looking for ways to advise his patients to live a better and healthier lifestyle. If you are tired of the same old same old from your doctor I would highly recommend setting an appointment with Vogan Functional Medicine to see how they can improve the quality of your life!

I have been getting my yearly tests, but still was feeling sluggish. When I would ask my Dr to run more tests they would say it wasnt necessary. I contacted Dr. Vogan and he met with me and he walked through a detailed exam. He ran a more detailed test, that my GP would not run, because they dont feel it is necessary. Long Story short the results came back and we were able to figure out why I was always tired and sluggish. I would HIGHLY recommend Vogan Functional Medicine.

It has been my experience working with anybody in any industry that the quality of their work is the intersection of their ability and the amount that they care about the task. While I'm sure there are lots of health professionals that have a lot of knowledge and ability, I believe you will be hard pressed to find many that care more or are more passionate than Katie and Drummond. After spinning my wheels for many years trying to regain control of my health, I'm excited about the traction and progress I've experienced working with VFM and am nearing my goal of being in better health at 40 than I was at 30.

I’ve worked with a variety of other types of providers, but their approach is not gimmicky, trendy or the latest fad. It’s based in research and effective. If you’re serious about your health, this is the right place.
