Why Functional Medicine for Women’s Health?
Functional medicine distinguishes itself from traditional medical visits primarily through its focus on understanding the underlying causes of health issues. While traditional visits often address symptoms, functional medicine emphasizes a comprehensive view of the patient’s health by utilizing advanced lab testing. This testing assesses how various body systems are functioning, allowing practitioners to identify imbalances that are causing symptoms and create personalized treatment plans.
By exploring the intricate relationships between genetics, biochemistry, and lifestyle factors, functional medicine aims to restore optimal health and wellness. This holistic approach not only seeks to alleviate current concerns but also aims to prevent future health issues by addressing root causes. It emphasizes understanding the unique biological and hormonal complexities that women experience throughout different stages of life. By focusing on individualized care and holistic approaches, functional medicine empowers people to take charge of their health and well-being.

Do you have adrenal fatigue from chronic stress that is causing hormone imbalances?
-
Do you have gut dysbiosis that is impacting your hormones causing PMS pain, Fibroids or impacting and your ability to conceive?
What does a treatment protocol look like?
-
Our evidence-based protocols utilize high-quality, medical-grade nutritional supplements, organic handmade herbal medicine and when needed, plant-based bio-identical hormones including progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. We will also recommend evidence based dietary and lifestyle plans tailored to individual needs. Our treatments are designed to provide a holistic approach to correcting hormone imbalances, which often intertwine with important aspects of health such as adrenal function, gut health, and liver health.

Correcting a chronic condition takes time. Once established, a treatment protocol may last up to 6 months. After the protocol is complete, we often recommend retesting to determine whether the imbalance has been corrected.
