What is Functional Medicine? Functional medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. It involves understanding the unique interactions between genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors to create a tailored treatment plan for each patient.

How does a Functional Medicine visit differ from a traditional doctor's visit? A Functional Medicine visit is more comprehensive and in-depth than a traditional doctor's visit. It includes an extensive review of your medical history, lifestyle, nutrition, and any underlying imbalances. The goal is to identify the root causes of health issues and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, and targeted therapies.

What can I expect during my first Functional Medicine visit? During your first visit, you will have a thorough consultation with one of our functional medicine practitioners. This includes discussing your medical history, current symptoms, and any previous treatments. You may also undergo specific diagnostic tests to gather more information. Together, you'll develop a customized plan to address your health concerns.

Who can benefit from Functional Medicine? Functional Medicine can benefit anyone who is dealing with chronic conditions, unexplained symptoms, or a desire to optimize their health. It is particularly helpful for those who haven't found relief through conventional treatments or who are interested in a more holistic approach to their well-being.

Is Functional Medicine covered by insurance? Coverage for Functional Medicine can vary depending on your insurance plan. While some aspects of care, such as lab tests, may be covered, others may not be. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand what is included. Our team can provide documentation for potential reimbursement.

How do IV therapies complement Functional Medicine? IV therapies deliver vital nutrients, vitamins, and minerals directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption. When used alongside Functional Medicine, IV therapies can support the body’s healing processes, improve energy levels, boost the immune system, and address specific nutrient deficiencies.

Are the IV therapies safe? Yes, our IV therapies are administered by trained medical professionals in a controlled environment. All treatments are tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient, and safety is our top priority. We conduct thorough assessments before recommending any IV therapy.

How often do I need to follow up in Functional Medicine? Follow-up frequency depends on your specific health needs and treatment plan. Typically, after the initial visit, follow-up appointments are scheduled every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. However, this may vary based on individual cases.

Can Functional Medicine help with chronic conditions? Yes, Functional Medicine is particularly effective in managing and potentially reversing chronic conditions by addressing their underlying causes. Whether you’re dealing with autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, or chronic fatigue, Functional Medicine offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to treatment.

How do I get started with a Functional Medicine program? To get started, simply schedule an initial consultation with one of our Functional Medicine practitioners. During this visit, we’ll gather all necessary information to design a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals.
