Prevent, Heal, Thrive—Your Health, Reimagined
Empowering Wellness Through Integrative Medicine
​
What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative Medicine is a healing-oriented practice that takes into account the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative. Integrative medicine is informed by evidence and utilizes the most effective interventions from various medical traditions to promote optimal health and healing. It focuses on treating the root causes of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms. The goal is to empower patients with the tools and knowledge to achieve their best possible health, whether through lifestyle changes, supplements, mind-body practices, or conventional medical treatments.

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a systems-based approach to healthcare that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease. Practitioners of functional medicine view the body as an interconnected system, rather than focusing on a single organ or set of symptoms. By exploring the complex interactions between genetics, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors, functional medicine aims to address the underlying issues causing dysfunction. Treatment plans are personalized and often include changes in diet, nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sometimes the use of targeted supplements or medications to restore health and vitality. Specialized functional lab testing is utilized which is not commonly used/available from conventional practice physicians. Functional medicine is particularly well-suited for treating chronic, complex conditions.

These approaches complement each other in offering a holistic, patient-centered model of care. They share the philosophy of using both conventional and alternative therapies and placing an emphasis on prevention, education, and the active participation of patients in their own healing process.

Services
Discovery Call
15-minute call to discuss your health goals and learn more about how integrative and functional medicine can support your well-being. We'll take the time to explore your unique needs, answer any questions, and see if this approach feels right for you. ​​
Initial Consultation + 1 Follow up
The initial comprehensive consultation (usually 60-90 minutes) is a deep-dive into your health history, current concerns, and wellness goals. During this visit, we explore your medical background, lifestyle, family history, and symptoms in detail, using both conventional and integrative approaches to identify root causes. Together, we'll create a personalized plan to help you feel your best and optimize your long-term health. A follow up (~30-45 min) visit will include review of your progress and any test results from the initial visit.​​
Follow Up
After your consultation and initial follow up, you can choose how often we follow up. Follow-ups are a good way to evaluate your progress and make adjustments to your plan as needed.
Regular meetings will insure you stay on track with your health goals. You will have access to specialized functional medicine lab testing/interpretation. (~30-45 minutes)​​
To Our Healthcare Workers
We offer integrative health screenings for healthcare workers with personalized insights into their current health from an integrative and functional medicine perspective.

Take the first step toward prioritizing yourself—because caring for others starts with caring for you. Schedule a discovery call, after which we will obtain lab work, followed by a 1:1 consultation with actionable insights. Flexible timing/tele-medicine visits offered.
