At Central Coast Center for Integrative Health, we see patients as the individuals they are. No two patients are ever exactly the same and therefore must be treated differently. This customized approach allows us to treat you, not just the disease. Because we know that addressing your unique underlying problems is the key to reversing your condition. Our outstanding team of doctors are here to listen to you. We understand how frustrating it can be searching for answers. Our patients walk away empowered with knowledge they learn and continue to thrive, making the world a better place. We are passionate about Restoring Health for a Better Future! Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that focuses on the underlying root causes of dysfunction, not just the symptoms. It is the most contemporary form of modern healthcare. There is a shift from a disease-centered focus to a patient-centered approach. A functional medicine practitioner spends time with the patient to determine interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term complex health problems. In addition to a thorough history and physical exam, many times lab tests are utilized as a gateway to help determine any deviant physiology within the individual. It is important in Functional Medicine to recognize that even patients that share a common "label" of disease often have different causes of dysfunction and therefore need to be treated as individuals not confined to treatments set as standards by the disease name. Our Commitment to You...

To help ensure your health is improved, we offer extensive diagnostic testing, analysis and personalized treatment programs as well as an utmost dedication to helping you get better.

Let’s talk about probiotics, the tiny powerhouses that can have a BIG impact on your health.

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that influence everything from digestion to mood, hormones, immune health, and even skin clarity. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help keep this ecosystem balanced.

They support digestion, reduce bloating, boost mood and brain health through the gut-brain connection, strengthen your immune system, lower inflammation, and even improve skin from the inside out.

But not all probiotics are created equal. Strain, quality, and delivery method matter and sometimes, your gut needs support before introducing probiotics.

Ready to support your gut from the inside out? If you’ve been dealing with bloating, irregular digestion, or immune challenges, it might be time to check in on your microbiome.

Book a consult and let’s find the right probiotic support tailored to your unique needs.

Looking for real support in your RA journey? These are some of the most powerful supplements we turn to for rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis isn’t just about joint pain, it’s a whole-body inflammatory condition. That’s why targeted support can make a huge difference in calming the immune system and reducing inflammation at the root.

Here are some of the best:
🌿 CBD Oil – May reduce pain and inflammation by supporting your endocannabinoid system.
🟡 Turmeric (Curcumin) – A natural anti-inflammatory that rivals NSAIDs (without the gut damage).
🛡 Immunoglobulins – Help calm immune overactivity and repair the gut lining.
🦠 Probiotics – Balance the gut microbiome, where 70% of your immune system lives.
🐟 Omega-3 Fish Oil – High in EPA and DHA, these healthy fats help fight systemic inflammation.

Always work with a functional practitioner to personalize your protocol. What works wonders for one person may need adjusting for another.

What makes a functional medicine doctor different from your everyday doctor?
We don’t just ask “What?” we ask “Why?”

Instead of matching symptoms to prescriptions, functional medicine looks for the root cause behind what’s going on in your body. Chronic fatigue, gut issues, hormone imbalance, autoimmunity. We believe these are signs, not just diagnoses.

Here’s the difference:
👉 We spend more time with you.
👉 We listen to your story.
👉 We run deeper, more comprehensive testing.
👉 We connect the dots others miss.
👉 We create personalized plans that actually support healing like nutrition, lifestyle, mindset, and more.

Because healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all protocol, it’s a partnership.

And you deserve a doctor who treats you like the whole human you are.

When you’re dealing with chronic illness, it’s easy to feel like your body is working against you.

The brain fog. The fatigue. The unpredictable symptoms. It can feel like you're stuck in survival mode.

But here’s the truth: you have more power than you’ve been led to believe.
Your daily habits, mindset, and the support you build around you can completely shift the course of your healing journey.

That’s why creating a solid foundation—physically, emotionally, and functionally—isn’t optional. It’s everything.

Healing is possible. Let’s help you build your foundation, step by step.

Thyroid symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain are often a sign of root-level imbalances in the body—not just a thyroid hormone problem.

Here’s what could be contributing:
🔹 Gut Issues: Poor gut health can trigger autoimmunity (hello, Hashimoto’s), reduce nutrient absorption, and drive inflammation that slows thyroid function.
🔹 Hormonal Imbalance: Estrogen dominance and low progesterone can block thyroid hormone conversion and transport, leaving you feeling off—even with medication.
🔹 Chronic Stress: Long-term stress elevates cortisol, which directly suppresses thyroid hormone production and function.
🔹 Autoimmune Disease (Hashimoto’s): Up to 90% of hypothyroid cases are autoimmune—but many go undiagnosed. You can’t fully heal your thyroid without supporting your immune system.
🔹 Nutrient Deficiencies: Low iodine, selenium, zinc, and iron = low thyroid output.
🔹 Liver & Detox Pathways: The liver converts T4 → T3. A sluggish liver = sluggish thyroid.
🔹 Blood Sugar Imbalances: Insulin resistance inflames your body and tanks your thyroid.

Here’s what you can do:
✅ Support your gut, hormones, and detox pathways
✅ Balance your blood sugar
✅ Reduce inflammation + manage stress
✅ Test and correct nutrient deficiencies
✅ Work with a provider who understands the whole-body connection

Your thyroid can’t heal in isolation. It needs a systems-based approach and that’s exactly what functional medicine is all about.
