What is Functional Medicine?
Personalized care focused on root causes.
Functional medicine offers a personalized approach that digs deeper into the root causes of health issues, rather than just addressing symptoms. By considering your unique history, genetics, and lifestyle, it creates a tailored plan aimed at promoting optimal health and well-being.
What to expect:
- Complete a detailed intake form to fill out your medical history, lifestyle (past and present), life events and stressors, diet, possible environmental exposures or illnesses
- Schedule a comperehensive visit where we use the intake form as a spring board to navigate through your history and find possible root cause explanations and do a physical exam
- Implementing diet modifications (often setting a baseline food plan), lifestyle or activity suggestions, sleep optimization, and stress management and find realistic ways to implement
- Ordering any further lab testing (ranging from basic blood panels to stool testing, micronutrient testing, OAT (organic acid testing), etc)
- Prescribing any needed medications or supplements when necessary, and to the patient's informed comfortability
- Scheduling a follow up appointment (oftened paired with courtesy check in calls to track the patient's status)
Achieving your goals can take time, and we have the patience to help you do that!
Frequently Asked Questions
This is your sub-headline
No. But hear us out! We have chosen a direct-pay model to allow for greater time spent with your provider. The prices are transparent to help prevent surprise bills. We can provide a superbill to you that you can submit for reimbursement with eligible HSA and FSA plans or through your insurance provider if applicable.
The answer to this is patient specific. It is a possibility, and we understand that many stressors affecting our health come from tough financial situations. We will do our best to address cost in the visit. Some deeper root cause information can only be ascertained with lab testing, but our providers will help navigate a timeline that works with your budget.
We also always start with diet first, but if there are digestive or absorptive issues, supplements can help boost those nutrients while you are undergoing a healing process. Nutrient boosting can also help "tip the scale" in reducing inflammation, oxidative stress or pushing a metabolic pathway in a particular direction.
In either case, we will listen to your needs to make sure your financial wellness is considered as a factor in your treatment plan.
Sometimes an investment up front can save you more money (and precious time) in the future if your chronic condition is improved or resolved!
