Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of Functional Medicine?

The benefits of Functional Medicine include a customized, personalized and preventative approach to health care. Functional medicine practitioners use the most predictive and advanced testing available which aids in getting to the ROOT CAUSE of your concerns. This approach is a patient centered and cost effective partnership where doctor and patient work together to create a tailored treatment plan rather than treatments being dictated by hospitals and insurance companies. Best of all...No hidden fees, no unexpected medical bills.

How do I know if functional medicine is the right approach for me?

Functional medicine is right for you if you have been struggling with a chronic health condition, have been been told that “your labs are normal” or “its all in your head” and you feel like you have not been appropriately managed from you current doctor. 

If this sounds familiar, a Functional Medicine approach can include a customized treatment plan, advanced laboratory testing, dietary changes, health education, and coaching.
