Frequently Asked Questions
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, systems-based approach that looks for the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. It integrates modern science with personalized treatment.

Not exactly. Integrative medicine blends conventional and alternative therapies, while functional medicine focuses more on diagnostics, data, and lifestyle-based interventions to solve underlying causes.
Do you run lab testing and hormone panels?
Yes. We conduct advanced testing including hormones, thyroid, adrenal function, gut health, and food sensitivities.
Do you take insurance?
No, we operate as an out-of-network clinic. This allows us to offer highly personalized and unrestricted care.
