Functional health is a personalized, integrative approach to healthcare that examines a patient's history, genetics, environment, and lifestyle to identify the root causes of long-term health issues and chronic pain. The goal is to achieve optimal function for each individual by addressing these underlying causes.

By utilizing medical history, genetic profiles and in-depth specialized labs, I can gain insights to which systems need to be addressed to achieve better health. Treatment may include lifestyle changes (such as eating habits, sleep, activities, and self-care), nutraceutical supplements to support repair, stress management, etc.

I am a Functional Medicine Practitioner (IFMCP) and Doctor of Chiropractic (DC). I received my doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic. My post doctorate education and training is in Functional Medicine and Clinical Nutrition. Therefore, I do not practice medicine and do not diagnose or treat diseases or medical conditions. I focus my practice on promoting health and optimal function by searching for and addressing the root causes of chronic illness through diet, nutrition, and lifestyle management. My services are not meant to substitute or replace those of a medical doctor but my programs are meant to work in conjunction with them.

While you may be able to submit some of your labs to insurance, my services, expertise, and consultations are not.

I am a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP). I received my doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic. My post doctorate education and training includes Functional Medicine and Clinical Nutrition. I have received complete training in the biological sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, histology, blood chemistry, neurology and pharmacology, conventional medical diagnosis and treatment, as well as, extensive training in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine and lifestyle counseling. I have also developed and taught curriculum and programs in higher education for 15 years.

No. I do not prescribe or make recommendations about prescription medications or controlled substances. Your prescribing medical doctor will manage all medications. I use natural, noninvasive methods such as nutritional therapy, herbs, supplements, stress management techniques and lifestyle changes to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal function and health.

Option 1:

Sign up for one of our Programs.

Option 2:

To become a functional health patient, you will need to gather your records (all medical records and lab work). Contact the office and a link will be sent to you to complete your paperwork online. After all paperwork is received, your initial consultation will be scheduled. This appointment must be prepaid and is non-refundable. If necessary, the appointment may be rescheduled but will be subject to a rescheduling fee.

Option 1:

The number of consults are built in to the programs.

Option 2:

This will depend on the complexity of your needs. Plan on the initial consultation and two follow up visits at the minimum.

The best answer is...it depends.

Option 1:

If you sign up for one of our Programs, the cost of the consults, supplements, webinars, and labs is built in to the Program. Extra labs or supplements will be additional but are, most likely, not necessary during the program.

Option 2:

This will depend on the condition, complexity, necessary labs to find your root cause, supplements, and consults with the doctor.

While there can never be a guarantee of outcomes, by following the programs as designed you will be able to address the root causes behind your chronic health issues.
