Enhancing Health Through Functional Medicine: We address the overlooked gaps in mainstream medicine

We specialize in advanced analysis and treatment for complex,
under-recognized conditions that traditional healthcare
often overlooks. we go beyond symptom management to
uncover and treat the root causes of illness.

"Getting to the root cause of symptoms—not just managing them."

DISEASE STATES WE TREAT USING THE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE APPROACH

MENU ANCHOR

Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is the root cause of many diseases, including autoimmune conditions, metabolic disorders, and cognitive decline. Functional medicine identifies gut dysfunction, poor diet, and environmental toxins as key drivers of systemic inflammation. Natural approaches include anti-inflammatory diets, gut repair strategies, and targeted supplementation with curcumin, omega-3s, and polyphenols. Our approach integrates advanced inflammatory marker testing, gut health optimization, pharmaceutical interventions when required, and continuous follow-ups to manage inflammation effectively.

Cognition and Brain Health
Cognitive decline, brain fog, and neuroinflammation are often linked to gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic inflammation. Functional medicine emphasizes the gut-brain connection, where dysbiosis, leaky gut, and systemic inflammation can impair neurotransmitter function and cognitive clarity. Natural treatments include omega-3 fatty acids, nootropic herbs, mitochondrial support, and gut-healing strategies. We use a multifaceted approach that includes cognitive function testing, targeted supplementation, and pharmaceutical options if necessary, with ongoing monitoring to track cognitive improvements.

Chelation Therapy
Chelation is the process of removing heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic from the body, which can accumulate and contribute to neurological, immune, and gut dysfunction. Functional medicine links heavy metal toxicity to oxidative stress, inflammation, and microbiome imbalances. Natural treatments include chelating agents like EDTA, chlorella, and NAC, along with liver and kidney support. Our approach involves comprehensive heavy metal testing, personalized detoxification strategies, pharmaceutical chelators when required, and ongoing monitoring for safety and effectiveness.

Lyme Disease
Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia bacteria transmitted through tick bites, can lead to chronic fatigue, joint pain, and neurological symptoms if left untreated. Functional medicine emphasizes that chronic infections like Lyme often coexist with gut dysfunction, inflammation, and immune dysregulation. Natural treatments include antimicrobial herbs, immune support, and detoxification strategies alongside gut healing protocols. Our approach integrates advanced Lyme testing, herbal and pharmaceutical antimicrobial therapies, gut and immune system support, and personalized follow-ups.

Thyroid Dysfunction
Thyroid dysfunction, whether hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, affects metabolism, energy levels, and digestive health. Functional medicine considers gut health crucial, as leaky gut and dysbiosis can trigger autoimmune thyroid disorders. Natural treatment strategies focus on optimizing iodine, selenium, and zinc intake, supporting gut health, and reducing inflammatory triggers. Our approach includes detailed thyroid panels, nutritional and lifestyle interventions, and, when necessary, bioidentical hormone support and pharmaceutical treatment with ongoing monitoring

Dysbiosis
Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiome, where harmful bacteria, yeast, or parasites overgrow and disrupt normal digestive function. In functional medicine, gut health is central to overall wellness, and dysbiosis is often linked to inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic disorders. Natural treatments include probiotics, prebiotics, dietary modifications, and herbal antimicrobials to restore microbial balance. Our approach is multifaceted, incorporating advanced stool testing, targeted supplements, pharmaceutical interventions when necessary, and regular follow-ups to monitor progress.

Adrenal Dysfunction
Adrenal dysfunction, including adrenal fatigue and HPA axis dysregulation, occurs when prolonged stress impairs cortisol production, leading to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic issues. Functional medicine recognizes that adrenal health is closely tied to gut function, as chronic stress can lead to leaky gut, dysbiosis, and inflammation. Treatment involves adaptogenic herbs, micronutrient support, stress management techniques, and lifestyle modifications. We use a comprehensive approach, including salivary or urinary cortisol testing, targeted supplementation, and pharmaceutical support if indicated, with ongoing follow-ups to assess recovery.

Mycotoxin Exposure
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by mold that can lead to chronic inflammatory responses, neurological issues, and gut dysfunction. Functional medicine recognizes that mold toxicity often disrupts gut health, liver detoxification, and immune function. Natural treatment focuses on binding agents like activated charcoal and bentonite clay, liver support nutrients, and environmental remediation. Our approach includes mycotoxin urine testing, detoxification strategies, gut repair protocols, and pharmaceutical interventions when necessary, with follow-ups to ensure progress.

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
SIBO occurs when bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, leading to bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and nutrient malabsorption. Functional medicine identifies root causes such as impaired gut motility, low stomach acid, chronic stress, and dysbiosis, addressing them through dietary changes, herbal or pharmaceutical antimicrobials, prokinetics, and gut microbiome support. Treatment focuses on eliminating excess bacteria, restoring proper digestion, and healing the gut lining.

Longevity
Longevity in functional medicine focuses on extending healthspan—ensuring people remain active, sharp, and disease-free as they age. Cellular aging is driven by oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and hormonal decline, all of which functional medicine targets through personalized interventions. Strategies include optimizing hormones, reducing chronic inflammation, supporting autophagy and mitochondrial function, and using fasting, peptides, and senolytics to enhance cellular repair.

What is Functional Medicine?

Collaborative Practitioner-Patient Dynamics

Functional medicine encourages a synergistic relationship between the practitioner and patient. It empowers patients to actively manage their health and helps identify the root causes of health issues.

Tailored Treatment Plan Targeting Root Causes

As a patient-centric practice, functional medicine aims to uncover and address the root causes of diseases rather than just alleviating symptoms.

The Definition of Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is a systems-oriented approach to healthcare that aims to identify and address the root causes of disease. It emphasizes a deep understanding of each patient's genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors, applying this knowledge in a patient-centered rather than a disease-centered approach to treatment, seeking to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms of a disease.
