Frequently Asked Questions

Functional medicine bridges the gap between traditional (allopathic) and naturopathic (alternative) medicine, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms rather than simply masking them. It’s a personalized, science-backed approach designed to support your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
We specialize in complex and chronic health conditions by asking deeper questions — “Why is this happening?” and “How can we restore balance?” — recognizing that each person is entirely unique. Your genetics, biochemistry, environment, lifestyle, and personal story all play an essential role in your overall health.
Using tools like functional lab testing, individualized nutrition plans, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle strategies, we design a holistic protocol tailored just for you. Education is a core part of our care — we meet you where you are, helping you build sustainable habits so you can return to doing what you love most.
Functional medicine is deeply evidence-based and takes a whole-body view — body, mind, and soul — understanding that all systems are interconnected. We combine all of the best medical practices, working closely with your medical care team, by incorporating the latest laboratory testing and diagnostic techniques, botanical herbs, and therapeutic diets to give you the best care possible.
