Welcome to Your Functional Health Journey
Collaborative personalized health programs focused on longevity with optimized physical and mental performance.
Functional Approach
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a holistic and systematic approach to health and wellness.
The key factor is to uncover the four most common underlying culprits of health issues:
Inflammation, catabolic physiology, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress.
New Patients - Getting Started
Consultations
New patients begin with a free 15-minute consultation with our health coaching staff to determine if we are a good fit for what you are looking for.
Moving forward, a comprehensive consultation is scheduled that gives us a much more detailed health history. Much of the work we do centers around understanding how genetics and your diet and life history have interacted so we can optimize your health.
With a detailed health history, we can then provide recommendations on which functional lab testing would be most beneficial for you.
The functional lab testing we recommend includes testing of your digestive health and microbiome, hormone testing and organic acids, amino acids and Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acid levels.
Labs
The lab tests are designed to look in depth at your mitochondrial function, genetic variables, environmental toxin exposure, hormone health and gut microbiome. A fully personalized protocol is created based on your lab results. Once your lab results come back, they will be reviewed with you in detail. Based on your lab review session, a comprehensive, personalized nutrition and lifestyle program is designed for you to begin.
Protocols
Sustainable protocols using nutraceuticals are collaboratively designed to provide you with more energy, mental clarity, better sleep and mood, while reducing inflammation, boosting your metabolism and strengthening all your key body systems.
Follow Up
Follow up consultations, health & nutritional coaching sessions and retesting labs all happen as needed for each individual.
