Functional medicine is a form of alternative medicine that aims to identify the underlying causes of illness rather than merely treating symptoms. In functional medicine, individualized treatment plans are designed to control the patient’s physiological imbalances, and patients collaborate with their physicians to achieve optimal healing. Diet, exposure to environmental toxins and nutrition are all factors that are thought to lead to illness.
During a comprehensive functional medicine evaluation, we will profile your family history, medical history, lifestyle, and current issues in a peaceful, nourishing setting. The first phase of the comprehensive functional medicine evaluation will be devoted to putting your personal puzzle together and coming up with a “to do” list. The “to do” list will include recommendations for you to follow at home and a follow up schedule. During the second phase of the evaluation, a complete physical examination will be performed and any abnormalities will be analyzed.
