A Smarter Approach to Health — Root Cause, Not Quick Fixes
Functional medicine looks at the entire body as an integrated system. Instead of suppressing symptoms, our doctors identify the underlying dysfunction — from hormone imbalance and gut inflammation to nutritional deficiencies and stress physiology.
Our functional medicine doctor in Chicago focuses on advanced testing and customized treatment plans, while our Schaumburg functional medicine clinic extends the same precision care to northwest suburban patients who want true healing, not just prescriptions.
How Your Functional Medicine Program Works with our MD
At Bliss MD, you’ll never receive cookie-cutter care. Every patient begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes:
Advanced diagnostic testing (hormones, gut microbiome, inflammation, genetics)
A customized nutrition, supplement, and therapy plan
Follow-up adjustments based on data and progress tracking
Our Schaumburg functional medicine doctor also provides remote and in-person consultations for patients across the northwest suburbs.
Beyond the Basics — Therapies That Accelerate Healing

Each therapy is supervised by a qualified functional medicine doctor in Chicago or Schaumburg, ensuring safety and personalized dosing.
