It integrates the best of traditional medicine with additional tools and methodologies to promote optimal health and prevent disease.
What can I expect in my first functional medicine appointment?

This allows the practitioner to take a detailed medical history and discuss your lifestyle, diet, stress levels, and other factors that could influence your health. You might also undergo comprehensive testing.

Functional medicine utilizes a variety of tests that may include advanced genetic screenings, nutritional and metabolic assessments, as well as tests for toxins and allergens. These tests help practitioners understand how various body systems are functioning and interact.

It is especially beneficial for those with chronic diseases such as autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, as well as those dealing with fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and digestive problems.
