At Wethington Family Practice, Brittany Wethington, FNP-C, offers a functional medicine approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of health concerns.
KEY PRINCIPLES OF FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
-๐ช๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ฒ-๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต
Your body is an interconnected system. Genetics, lifestyle, environment, diet, sleep, stress, and relationships all impact your health.

Instead of asking, โWhat medication treats this disease?โ, functional medicine asks:

The focus is on proactive strategies to prevent chronic illness, not just react once it develops.
COMMON CONDITIONS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE HELPS ADDRESS:
-Digestive issues (IBS, food sensitivities)
-Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, PCOS, menopause)
-Autoimmune conditions
-Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
-Skin conditions (eczema, acne, psoriasis)
-Weight management and metabolic health
Example in Practice:
If a patient has recurring migraines, traditional medicine may prescribe pain medication. Brittany Wethington takes a functional medicine approachโinvestigating potential causes like nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalance, food sensitivities, or environmental triggers, then developing a plan to address those issues at the source.
At WFP, the goal is not just to manage illness, but to restore balance, prevent future problems, and help you thrive.
