Functional Wellness

What is Functional Wellness?

Functional wellness is all about addressing the root causes of dis-ease by using a comprehensive systems-oriented approach. We firmly adhere to personalized care for a long-term vision of health, looking at the interactions between your environment, genetics, and lifestyle choices that can influence your health and lead to chronic conditions.

Many individuals are examined by physicians who practice conventional medicine and find themselves unhappy or unconvinced by the results. They know something is wrong with their bodies – but the tests come back completely normal. Afterward, their issues continue and often worsen as time goes on with little to no relief.
