Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine utilizes a holistic approach that is at the cutting edge of science.

“Asks how and why a certain disease or condition developed and restores health and balance by addressing the root cause of disease on an individual basis.” - Institute for Functional Medicine

It views the body as a whole and respects how it is interconnected. As a Functional Medicine provider, I look beyond your symptoms and your problems. I treat you as a unique and whole person.  We work together to address the underlying root causes of your “dis-ease” and promote optimal wellness. By gaining a detailed understanding of each person’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors I can leverage that data to personalize treatment plans that lead to better and more fulfilling outcomes.

Performance

Help your body function at its peak through metabolic optimization.

I will map and work to balance your cellular metabolic performance.  Metabolic balance leads to the best performance outcome and recovery. Your performance and well being are enhanced by management of inflammation, hormones and neurochemistry.

Together we will evaluate your:

• Blood Glucose control as a source of performance and anabolic drive
• Cortisol management and its catabolic downstream effect
• Sympathetic and parasympathetic tone
• Stress and sleep
• Immune functionality: We will identify overtraining and see the effect that training has on your physiology.
• Labs that matter: The basics of lab evaluation
• Mitochondrial protection and nourishing the metabolic powerhouse
• Core concepts in performance nutrition.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

Hormones play an integral role in health and wellness.

They promote growth within the body and influence metabolism, organ function, energy, and weight management. Symptoms of hormone imbalance can vary and can include hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, insomnia, mood swings, weight gain, muscle loss, anxiety and depression.

I will interpret your lab results to offer you and your body exactly what it needs to come into balance. This is achieved through a combination of therapies such as bioidentical hormone therapy, strategies for nutrition, stress management, and sleep.  These modalities work synergistically to promote optimal health.

Vitality and Wellness

This program is for anyone wanting to increase their energy, improve sleep, reduce aches and pains, promote vibrant living and reduce degenerative disease now and for the inevitable changes that occur later in life.

RG3

RG3 is derived from the Asian plant Panax Ginseng and was designed to support healthy brain function while protecting sensitive neurons from damage. With the rising prevalence of neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia, Alzheimers, Parkinsons etc, RG3 has been found to enhance memory and mental focus in some individuals. It does this by decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress within the brain. RG3 may also help with neurogenesis, the creation and development of neurons in the brain.

RG3 has shown to be a cutting edge treatment option if you are experiencing:

  • Brain Fog

  • Difficulty Concentrating

  • Brain Traumas

  • Adrenal Insufficiencies

  • Energy Issues such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Benefits of RG3

Some of the potential health benefits of RG3 include:

  • Mental Clarity

  • Decreased Stress

  • Heightened Concentration

  • Increased Energy

  • Greater Learning Ability

  • Enhanced Immune Responses

Sermorelin:

Sermorelin is a bioidentical synthetic hormone peptide that contains 29 amino acids. It is a growth hormone releasing peptide that stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.

Benefits of Sermorelin therapy include:

  • Increase energy levels, muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive

  • Improved memory and cognition, bone and mineral density, immunity, injury repair, nerve tissue regeneration, and fat burning ability

  • Enhance quality of sleep
