Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is all about helping you thrive.

Functional medicine is all about helping you thrive. We look for trends in the body and intervene before there is pathology. Because we are looking for changes away from the ideal, we use more narrow ranges for lab values than Western medicine uses. We also use lab assessments that are not traditional. This is often helpful for difficult to diagnose digestive and neurologic symptoms. To treat we use nutraceuticals (herbs, vitamins, and other supplements), hydrotherapy, food, lifestyle changes, exercise, and vitalistic medicine in addition to manual medicine.

Much of my practice focuses on reproductive health issues, digestive issues, and energy or blood sugar issues. Many times, the most difficult cases are those that are complicated by mold or lyme disease.
