Functional Medicine Q & A

What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine is an individualized, patient-centered, and science-based approach to medical care.

Integrative Health Matters offers functional medicine consultations for men and women. The team focuses on identifying all of the factors influencing your health, so they can uncover the root cause of your symptoms or disease.

By addressing the root cause of your condition instead of just the symptoms, you can address chronic disease more effectively. The team may find that one condition has many different causes.

As part of your treatment plan, the medical team targets each of the underlying causes of disease to relieve your symptoms and optimize your overall health.

 

What are the benefits of functional medicine?

The functional medicine services available at Integrative Health Matters empower you to address the underlying causes of disease. 

They also help you understand how your lifestyle, genetics, and biochemical makeup influences your long-term health, so you can make changes now that benefit your health later.

Working closely with the Integrative Health Matters medical team, you may find long-term relief from your symptoms.

 

What can I expect during a functional medicine consultation?

During your functional medicine consultation, you can expect to spend a lot of quality time with the team reviewing your health history and your medical concerns. Appointments typically last between 45-90 minutes depending on your needs.

The providers encourage you to do a lot of talking, so they can better understand the details of your personal and family history, the circumstances around your first symptoms, and your past experiences with other health care providers.

The medical team has extensive training to uncover the underlying causes of your health issues through open conversation, a physical exam, and laboratory testing.

Available on-site tests include:

  • Blood work
  • Ultrasounds
  • Allergy tests
  • Lung function test
  • Circulation testing
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG)

Based on the results of your functional health evaluation, the team discusses strategies you can use to address existing health issues. They offer personalized treatment plans to help you feel better and improve your long-term wellness.
