Restore Your Health. Restore You.

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic conditions, rather than just treating symptoms. It views the body as an interconnected system and considers factors like genetics, lifestyle, environment, and nutrition in creating personalized treatment plans. Unlike conventional medicine, which often relies on standardized treatments, functional medicine prioritizes individualized care, aiming to restore optimal health and prevent future issues. 

Functional medicine focuses on treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. It uses advanced diagnostic testing and a deep dive into your lifestyle, nutrition, and stressors to address the root cause of health issues. Conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms with medications or procedures.

I have chosen to operate as a cash-based practice to provide the highest level of care and flexibility to my patients. Here’s why: 

1. More Time with Patients: Insurance reimbursement models often limit appointment times, which makes it difficult to address complex health concerns. By opting out of insurance, I can dedicate the time needed to truly understand your unique health needs. 

2. Focus on Individualized Care: Insurance typically only covers standard treatments and tests, which doesn’t align with the personalized approach of functional medicine. This allows me to recommend tests and treatments that are best for you, rather than what’s dictated by insurance coverage. 

3. Transparent Pricing:  Without the involvement of insurance, there are no hidden fees or unexpected bills. My pricing is straightforward, so you know exactly what to expect. 

This model ensures that I can prioritize your health, not administrative processes or insurance limitations. 

Basic labs and some medications may be covered by your insurance

Functional medicine typically involves longer appointments, advanced diagnostic testing, and comprehensive evaluations. This level of care requires more time, resources, and personalized attention compared to traditional medicine.  While the upfront costs may be higher, this investment in your health often results in long-term benefits, fewer chronic health issues, and reduced dependency on medications. 

We address a wide range of conditions, including hormone imbalances, digestive issues, fatigue, and weight management challenges. Our focus is on optimizing overall health and preventing future illness

Your first appointment is a deep dive into your health history, current concerns, and lifestyle factors. We’ll review any existing lab work, discuss your goals, and determine the next steps, which may include advanced diagnostic testing. This session sets the foundation for a personalized care plan.

Yes, our weight loss approach focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. We address underlying factors like metabolism, nutrition, and hormone balance with the use of medication as tools to create a plan tailored to your body and long-term success.

The timeline for results varies depending on your health goals and the complexity of your condition. Some patients notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may need several months of consistent care for lasting change. That's why our programs are offered in monthly increments, so you can receive care as long as you desire. 

Once you’ve achieved your health goals, maintaining those results is just as important as reaching them. Our maintenance plans provide ongoing support, accountability, and follow-up to help you stay on track. These plans are less intensive than initial care, offering flexibility while ensuring you have access to expert guidance when you need it. They’re perfect for those who want to preserve their progress and continue feeling their best.
