Functional Integrative Program

Are you

 

  • Trying to stop the progression of your disease or reverse your disease?

  • Tired of taking medications and want to take charge of your health?

If your answer is yes, then you need to look into Functional Integrative Medicine

​

What does Functional Integrative Medicine do?

​

In order to keep a tree healthy and allow it to flourish, you need to support the most basic and essential elements first; the foundation: the roots and soil. Similarly, if a tree is not healthy, the first place you should look for answers is those same foundational elements

 

In Functional Medicine, the same approach applies to patients. The most important factors, and the ones we examine first when gathering information about the patient, are the foundational lifestyle factors; sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress levels, relationships, and genetics. These can eventually result in the signs and symptoms that are grouped into a diagnosable constellation that we call disease, represented by the branches and leaves.

 

If you are tired of spending your time in the leaves and watching your chronic symptoms go

through the cycle of diagnosis and drugs without getting any better, Functional Medicine can

help you get to the root cause of the problem.
