A New Paradigm for Optimal Health and Dis-Ease Management

Medicine the way it should be.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership.
Functional Medicine is an evolution that best addresses the increasing Health-Care needs of the 21st Century. We look beyond the ‘tip of the iceberg’ 4 Better Health.

Even though Americans are filling 4.3 billion prescriptions worth nearly $374 billion on medicine yearly and another $20 billion spent on Over the counter (OTC) medications yearly, we are sicker, heavier and more exhausted than ever, all the while.  That is not Health-Care, that is Sick-Care.

How is Functional Medicine different?

As Functional Medicine Experts:

• We won’t discount your symptoms as ‘normal aging’.
• We empathize and validate your concerns through detailed history taking, listen to you and accept and value each symptom as a key piece to your health puzzle.
• We don’t separate your body into parts; we support each part to help them work together synergistically
• We recognize, respect and emphasize the factors that feed or fight disease using a DINE approach: Detoxification, Inflammation, Nutrients and Energy,
• We use an integrative, science-based healthcare approach, state of the art data collection, and a systems-oriented approach.
• We integrate Functional Medicine into the “Western” (Traditional) Medicine to optimize your health and offer you options other than medications for life.
• We focus on reversing conditions and prevention through individualized diet recommendations, supplements, lifestyle modifications and stress reduction.
