What is Functional Medicine?

You've probably heard the term "functional medicine" before. Maybe you've even worked with practitioners who call themselves functional.

But if they just replaced your prescriptions with supplements, herbs, or essential oils? That's not functional medicine. That's just treating symptoms with different tools.

Real functional medicine goes deeper.

It's not about what you take. It's about addressing what's actually broken and supporting your body's natural ability to heal.

Here's my approach:

Functional medicine is a full-spectrum approach to healing that addresses:

Diet & Nutrition - Not another restrictive diet, but eating in a way that actually supports your cellular function and metabolic health.

Stress Management - Because chronic stress destroys cellular health faster than almost anything else.

Self-Care & Lifestyle - Sleep, movement, and daily practices that support healing instead of depleting you further.

Nervous System Regulation - Getting your body out of constant fight-or-flight so it can actually heal.

Targeted Nutraceuticals - Strategic supplementation based on what YOUR cells actually need (not just what worked for someone else).

But it all starts with one fundamental truth: when your cells are healthy, you are healthy.

Your 37 trillion cells control everything - energy production, hormone balance, detoxification, immune function, metabolism. When they can't function properly, you get symptoms.

Most doctors run minimal tests and look for disease. I run comprehensive functional tests and look for optimal health.

I don't just treat your symptoms. I support your cells so your body can heal from the inside out.

That's functional medicine. That's how transformation happens.
