Functional Medicine uses a holistic approach to treat chronic disease and improve health. It focuses on exercise, nutrition and recovery. Lead a healthier life — from the inside out. The functional medicine model of care offers a patient-centered approach to look at the root causes of medical diseases. It seeks to answer the question, “Why are you ill?” and “How can you regain your health?” so you can receive personalized, effective care for your needs.

Functional medicine physicians spend time listening to you and gathering your medical history. I use this information to identify the root cause(s) of the illness, including triggers such as poor nutrition, stress, toxins, allergens, genetics and your microbiome (the bacteria living in and on your body).

Once we identify the triggers, I can customize a healthy living plan for you. Your plan will address many aspects of your life, from physical needs, including nutrition, exercise and sleep, to mental and emotional stressors related to social, work and community life.
