THE PROCESS
The standard healthcare system is designed to provide a one-and-done quick fix with prescription medications.
While this may help in the short term and alleviate the patient’s symptoms, this approach does not address the cause of the ailment.
Chronic diseases account for 86% of all healthcare costs and continues to grow yearly. Approximately 50% of adults have at least one chronic condition, and 25% of adults have at least two chronic conditions needing daily medication.
Functional medicine takes a comprehensive approach to prevention, health, and well-being by treating the root causes of disease and working to restore your body's natural, healthy functioning.
In Practice
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISIT
A comprehensive approach to health and well-being
From chronic illness to disease prevention, functional medicine systematically addresses the unique physical, mental, and emotional needs of all patients. Rather than discarding traditional medicine, it seeks to enhance and improve it.
​
By understanding each patient’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences, it can deliver transformative care to promote optimal health and well-being.
A strong collaborative practitioner-patient relationship
By truly listening to their patients, practitioners dive deeply into the full context of their lives in order to not only uncover the root causes of their symptoms but also empower patients to take control of their own health and progress towards optimal health
​
This combination of focusing on individual patients and applying a comprehensive treatment path that delivers transformational results. Find a practitioner that work with you.
A personalized treatment plan focused on root causes
As a patient-centered care, functional medicine provides the framework to identify and treat the root causes of disease, not just the symptoms. It asks how and why illness occurs and then strives to address the specific underlying dysfunctions.
Patients and practitioners work together to develop a personalized health plan, prioritizing lifestyle changes and individualized interventions.​

GETTING STARTED
Medical Symptoms Questionnaire (MSQ)
We typically begin by asking you to fill out a Medical Symptoms Questionnaire (MSQ).​
This questionnaire from the Institute for Functional Medicine is an essential tool used to assess and track symptoms. ​MSQ Scores give information about the body systems involved in the disease and how badly they are affected: the higher your symptom score, the more severe your medical condition. This helps us prioritize critical systems when planning the healing process. ​​
