The Center For Functional Medicine is a health center focused on restoring health and vitality using diet and lifestyle interventions, advanced testing, clinical nutrition, and addressing the root causes of complex, chronic disease. Call it Naturopathic Medicine, Integrated Medicine, or Wholistic Medicine – our approach is to analyze and support the various systems of the body and to allow the body to heal itself. Our focus is on Autoimmunity, Brain and Gut health and how these play a role in most all complex, chronic conditions. However, our focus is on YOU, not the condition. Chronic conditions such as Autoimmunity, allergies, digestive and neurological problems require an approach that looks upstream to identify Root Causes and Resolves them, rather than just suppressing symptoms. Instead of asking, “What drug matches up with this disease?” Functional Medicine asks the vital questions that very few other doctors ask: “Why do you have this problem in the first place?” “Why has the body lost its ability to function properly?” and “What can we do to restore optimal function?” Our first goal is to identify the Root Causes of your condition. Things like chronic stress, toxins, infections, inflammation or a Leaky Gut. Every patient has their own unique story, diet, lifestyle and list of contributing factors. And it’s only when we go deep and really get to know each individual patient that we can put the pieces of the puzzle together and resolve these Root Causes and allow the body to heal itself. By shifting away from traditional symptom and disease-centered medicine, to a patient-centered and holistic approach – we put YOU at the center care.
Patient-centered care is at the heart of what we do because it empowers the patient to take ownership of their own health and healing.
Part of the therapeutic partnership is understanding that - we are not going to do Anything To You, instead we are going to do Everything With You. True caring does not come from doing something to someone, but rather from assisting, serving and coaching them to achieve their desired goal.
Health & Healing are an Inside Job! And it requires Your Active Participation!
