Functional Medicine

A Holistic Approach to Health

Functional medicine is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach that looks deeper than symptoms to uncover the underlying causes of illness. Rather than addressing body systems in isolation, it views the body as interconnected—each part influencing the whole. Healing begins when your full story is understood.

At the foundation of health are three key systems: the gut, hormones, and the nervous system. Research shows that these systems are deeply linked—when one falls out of balance, it can reverberate across the others. By restoring digestive health, balancing hormones, and supporting nervous system regulation, we create the conditions for long-term healing and resilience.

What to Expect

Your care begins with a comprehensive initial consultation. Before your visit, I review your intake forms and any available medical records. During our time together, I take the time to listen to your full health story so we can connect the dots and understand what may be driving your symptoms.
