What We Treat
Acute to complex & chronic challenges are what our patients often come to us after years of searching for answers. We specialize in understanding and resolving a wide spectrum of health concerns, including:
Autoimmune Conditions
Autoimmune diseases require a nuanced, root-cause approach. We identify and address key triggers such as gut dysfunction, chronic infections, stress, & environmental toxins to calm systemic inflammation and rebalance the immune system. Through personalized nutrition, lifestyle interventions, & targeted therapies, we support immune regulation without over-reliance on immunosuppressants.
Cardiometabolic Health
We take a root-cause approach to weight, cholesterol, & blood sugar imbalances by using advanced testing, such as comprehensive lipid profiles & insulin markers, to uncover early metabolic dysfunction. Our personalized plans integrate targeted nutrition, movement, sleep optimization, & supplementation to restore metabolic health & often reverse early-stage disease.
Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy
We uncover and address the root causes of fatigue, ranging from thyroid dysfunction and mitochondrial impairment to nutrient deficiencies and hidden infections. Using a personalized, systems-based approach, we restore energy production & resilience at the cellular level to help you regain lasting vitality.
Brain Fog & Cognitive Dysfunction
We evaluate key factors affecting brain health, including nutrient deficiencies, toxin exposure, vascular integrity, & early neurodegenerative changes. Our personalized protocols combine lifestyle strategies, detoxification support, & brain-targeted nutrition to enhance mental clarity, focus, & long-term cognitive function.
Gut Health & Digestive Issues
Optimal gut function is central to overall health. We use advanced stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, & clinical evaluation to identify root causes such as dysbiosis, leaky gut, and SIBO. Our treatment follows the proven 5R Functional Medicine framework: Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair, & Rebalance to restore gut integrity and support systemic wellness.
Hormonal Health
We take a comprehensive approach to hormone health, assessing thyroid, adrenal, & sex hormones through advanced testing. By identifying the root cause of imbalances, we develop personalized plans that may include lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation, &, when appropriate, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Our goal is to restore your mood, energy, and overall vitality.
Men's Whole Health & Andropause (Male Menopause)
We offer a comprehensive approach to men's health and aging. Through advanced testing, we evaluate testosterone levels, adrenal function, cardiovascular risk, & various lifestyle factors. Our personalized interventions, including nutrition, stress management, & hormone optimization, are designed to restore vitality, performance, & lasting confidence.
Women's Whole Health, Perimenopause, & Menopause
We provide supportive care for women navigating hormonal transitions. Our personalized approach addresses the full spectrum of health challenges related to aging, offering hormone balancing (often with BHRT), stress management, sexual wellness, & compassionate guidance. We aim to empower you to thrive & embrace these transformative phases with vitality & confidence.
Lyme Disease, Tick
Co-infections, Long COVID, Etc
We offer comprehensive & compassionate care for persistent symptoms following post-bacterial & post-virus infections such as Lyme Disease & Long COVID, as well as other post-disease syndromes. Our approach targets persistent inflammation, immune dysregulation, autonomic dysfunction, & potential reactivation of underlying infections. Grounded in evolving leading data-driven research & Functional Medicine principles, our personalized treatment plans are designed to support your recovery, build resilience, & promote long-term healing.
Preventive & Longevity Care
We prioritize proactive health to enhance your vitality & extend your healthspan, focusing on quality of life, not just longevity. Utilizing advanced laboratory testing, genetic risk analysis, & biological age markers, we create personalized lifestyle optimization plans. Our goal is to empower you to age with strength, energy, & cognitive clarity, leading to a vibrant and fulfilling life.
