My own journey with Functional Medicine actually started with our first daughter, who we took in as a foster child, then adopted. She has cerebral palsy and countless dietary issues. We went to specialist after specialist, and even as a physician I felt let down and confused.
My daughter's health struggles forced me to confront an uncomfortable realization:
Our current health care system doesn't have all the answers.
My wife, a brilliant--and very stubborn--occupational therapist refused to give up hope. She ultimately pointed me towards functional medicine.
Our daughter and two other children thrived.
After years in family practice, I felt called to make a dramatic shift.
I had to do something, for my own family's health and for anyone who has suffered unnecessarily from a system that fails to support whole-person health.
The human body is infinitely complex.
Functional medicine caters to this complexity.
We listen, to your whole health story, then help you apply data-driven solutions to start healing.
That means seeing you, the individual, looking at your home and your environment, your diet, your daily habits, and your health history. Then, we help you identify leverage points in key areas to restore health and wellness.
The root of the word doctor is from the Latin word docere, meaning “to teach”.
We're doctors and medical science scholars (okay, total nerds), who are here to teach you solutions, not just treat symptoms.
So you can harness your body's remarkable power to heal and start living the vibrant life you deserve.
