Our team examins the origins of an illness and suggests prevention and treatment methods to battle complex and chronic diseases.
We use the principles of Functional Medicine, Functional Nutrition, Mind-Body Medicine, and Positive Psychology to help you reach your full potential.
We Offer:
Patient-Centered Care: By listening to the patient and learning his or her story, we can tailor treatments that address the individual's unique needs.
An Integrative, Science-Based Healthcare Approach: We look “upstream” to consider the complex web of interactions in a patient's history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup of each patient is considered, along with both internal (mind, body, and spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affect total functioning.
