Functional Medicine emphasizes that symptoms are not the problem, rather they are maladaptive ways the body communicates a need, imbalance or stressor.

Functional Medicine is not Conventional Medicine. In that, Functional Medicine is health centered, not disease centered. Functional Medicine is client centered, not physician centered. Functional Medicine is Lifestyle Medicine centered, not procedural/drug centered. Functional Medicine is restorative centered, not symptom reduction centered.

In short, Functional Medicine is a science, and evidence-based modality that takes into account you as an individual, focuses on a whole body approach and connects you to your own personal healing journey.

Functional Medicine investigates bodily stressors which propagate chronic and damaging inflammatory responses. Systemic inflammation every system in the body - digestive, hormonal, neurological, immunological and all biochemical systems. Leading to symptoms that express themselves as physical dis-ease and emotional imbalance.

Using principles found in Lifestyle Sciences and Mind-Body Medicine, functional healing comes by exposing and correcting bodily stressors. While dampening down physiological imbalances that lowers the incidence of inflammation and dis-ease.

Using modern laboratory testing, I uncover root causes of inflammation. It is a holistic approach focusing on behavioral and lifestyle modification, along with individualized supplementation protocols, diet recommendations and a slew of other scientifically sound interventions that are meant to propagate the healing process.

Bringing balance, while both encouraging innate healing and providing a deeper connection with self.
