What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine combines traditional medical care with natural therapies, focusing on treating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. It aims to promote overall wellness by using natural remedies, lifestyle changes, and creating a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Functional medicine is all about understanding the root causes of your health issues instead of just masking the symptoms. It’s a personalized approach that looks at your unique needs, often using lab tests, changes in diet, lifestyle adjustments, and supplements to help you feel your best.

Lifestyle medicine focuses on preventing and managing chronic health conditions through simple, everyday changes. These changes might include eating a balanced diet, staying active, improving sleep, managing stress, and nurturing social connections. It empowers you to take charge of your health and well-being.

Integrative and functional medicine can be helpful for a wide variety of conditions, such as:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Digestive issues (like IBS or leaky gut)
  • Hormonal imbalances (such as thyroid problems)
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Weight management
  • Skin conditions (like eczema or acne)
  • Cardiovascular health
  • Metabolic issues (like diabetes or high blood pressure)

Results can vary depending on what you’re dealing with and your treatment plan. Since functional medicine and lifestyle changes focus on long-term health, it often takes a few weeks to a few months to see improvements. We believe in small, gradual steps toward a healthier you!

At this time, we do not accept insurance.
