Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
At WellFit Medicine and Nutrition, we incorporate multiple approaches to address the root causes of patient symptoms and medical concerns. We do so by looking at lifestyle factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and overall stress. We then assess medical factors which include metabolism, hormone balance, chronic conditions, and genetic tendencies.
We are the only practice in the area that utilizes advanced training in functional medicine, functional nutrition, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. We work with motivated patients to provide real results that improve health and overall quality of life. We are always striving to acquire and provide the tools to help our patients on their journey toward optimal health.
