What it is

Functional medicine looks for what's driving an ongoing health concern. It's a closer, more individualized look than a standard office visit, and it works alongside your primary care doctor.

If you've been through the usual round of testing and been told everything looks "normal," but you still don't feel like yourself, a functional medicine evaluation may be worth discussing.

People often ask us about functional medicine for ongoing fatigue, digestive trouble, stress, trouble sleeping, or questions about their nutrition or lab results.

What an evaluation looks like

1

Your history

A detailed look at your symptoms, your health background, and what's going on in your day-to-day life.

2

Diet and lifestyle

We review how you eat, sleep, handle stress, and stay active.

3

Lab markers

Where it's useful, we look at blood lab markers, the same kind of lab work used in our nutritional counseling visits, to get a fuller picture.

4

Your recommendations

From that combination of history, lifestyle review, and lab work, we put together recommendations that are specific to you.

Why we take this approach

We start with the least invasive option and try to understand what's behind a health concern before reaching for anything more aggressive. We work alongside your primary care doctor and share what we find.
