EMPOWERED WELLNESS WARRIOR

Functional Medicine: Guiding you out of the symptom maze.

Fatigue, anxiety, depression, digestive problems, unexplained weight gain, chronic pain, menopause struggles…the list of symptoms goes on.  Patients often come to me armed with their “normal” medical test results and lament: “My doctor says I’m fine, but I feel terrible!”  As many of us know, a “clean bill of health” based on these tests isn’t necessarily reflective of how we actually feel.

This is where Functional Medicine shines. Lifestyle, dietary habits, stress and your environment are all factors that can play a significant role in your health and hinder your inability to heal. It looks at the big picture and gets to the root of issues.

Invest in your health through a personalized wellness program designed to improve your quality of life, sustain an optimal level of mental, physical and emotional well-being and age gracefully. Through a fusion of Functional Medicine and Chinese Medicine, I will assess the general condition of  your body systems, key organs, mental health and address your main health-related goals.

Cutting-edge laboratory testing can be ordered to determine whether your body systems are running optimally and to improve your physical, emotional and mental function.  Lab profiles are designed to uncover the root causes of symptoms and recommend intervention strategies that will solve chronic problems.

The unique combination of these tests are non- or minimally invasive, using samples of saliva, blood, stool or urine.  Key areas to focus on are:

  • Gut health and digestion
  • Nutritional status
  • Detoxification
  • Food allergies
  • Thyroid & autoimmune issues

After careful assessment, I will provide you a personalized, comprehensive nutritional and supplemental program with suggestions for lifestyle adjustments to help optimize your current health and long-term good health.
