HOW DOES
Functional Medicine Work?
WHERE TO
Start?
The Functional Medicine Consultation is the first step in a long term process (typically at least one year) of comprehensive care.
The initial evaluation will last 90 minutes, depending on your health situation and laboratory testing required.
Your first visit will be a meet and greet opportunity where we establish your goals and expectations.
This visit is designed to assist you in deciding whether functional medicine and her team is a good fit for you.This includes:
-
An evaluation of environment influences on genetic expression
-
Nutritional influences on genetic expression (nutrigenetics)
-
Nutritional influences on metabolic functions (nutrigenomics)
-
Metabolic derangements resulting is system failures (metabolomics)
-
Transgenerational influences on gene expression
-
Psychological & mind-body influences on systems biology functions and genetics

If applicable, a personalized genetic evaluation
Once this evaluation is complete, a personalized nutraceutical, dietary and if indicated an evidence based herbal regimen will be created for you. The above will be in accordance with principles outlined through the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine, The American Board of Physician Specialties and The Institute for Functional Medicine.
