When our genes interact with a negative physical source (poor nutrition, environmental toxins/radiation, dysfunctional family dynamics, etc.) as well as a negative emotional source (anxiety and stress, depression) a state of disease can follow.

Symptoms only occur when an overburdened mind/body system has reached its threshold of keeping this disease at bay. Often times conventional medicine or compartmentalized medicine (the skin rash is only seen as a rash rather than a systemic disease involving the bowels for example) aims to alleviate these symptoms through the use of medications.

When applying functional medicine, we first spend a significant amount of time with you creating a full picture of your current health status. Then, we formulate a comprehensive plan of action for your health. Whether you decide to take advantage of the guidance by our life coaches or go it alone, we will provide you with ample opportunities to discuss and finetune this plan as you go through with it.

We use advanced laboratory testing and assessments to find the source of the disease. Then, we take advantage of the latest advances in nutrition and detoxification programs, nutrigenomics, nutraceuticals and supplements, psychological therapies (such as mindfulness-based stress reduction), and psychophysiological therapies (such as neurofeedback) to guide you toward optimal health.
