Functional Medicine

“All disease Begins In The Gut” -Hippocrates (The Father Of Medicine)

It may be tough to believe how important gut health is to your overall health. However, contemporary medical science is increasingly confirming this traditional view. In a very genuine sense, you become what you consume. Discovery continues to verify how the gut microbiota is at the base of disease, influencing overall health. Celiac Disease is one example of this, as it begins in the gut but causes symptoms in the brain, joints, skin, and immune system.


Our team is unique in that it combines traditional gastroenterology and hepatology diagnostic procedures with a functional medicine therapeutic approach to illness. We understand how nutrition, lifestyle, habits, and environmental variables influence gut health and how they affect the rest of your body. This causes changes throughout the whole body, including inflammation, toxicity, immunological response, hormone balance, metabolism/weight, allergies, and brain/mood, to mention a few.

To completely explore and discover your underlying core causes, our team begins by obtaining a detailed history of your genetics, diet, lifestyle, and environmental variables that cause disease, as well as conducting specialized tests. We provide a holistic, integrated approach to medical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. As the expression goes, "it takes a village to accomplish this."

As a result, our therapists tailor recommendations to your unique needs and collaborate with your other significant "village" members, such as family, caregivers, and healthcare providers, to completely support your recovery path. We take great care to help you through the whole transition process, teaching and coaching you and your community along the way.
