What is functional Nutrition? 

Functional nutrition, is a prevention-oriented approach to your healthcare, concentrates on finding and fixing root causes of your symptoms through proper nutrition, supplementation, diet, and exercise.

How does functional nutrition work? 

Functional nutrition determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.

Traditional healthcare typically treats patients who are complaining of multiple symptoms in a way that addresses each symptom independently. Functional nutrition, on the other hand, seeks to determine if the multiple symptoms can be attributed to a single root cause, and addresses that root cause through proper cellular nourishment.

Individuals vary as to the imbalances that may be occurring within their individual systems. Functional medicine and functional nutrition strive to recognize the best approach for the individual. Such imbalances can include, as examples:

• Inflammation
• Hormones
• Digestive and microbial factors
• Varying levels and types of toxicity
• Stubborn weight/ Overweight

These can lead to chronic diseases such as

• Arthritis
• Obesity
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Chronic aches and pains
• Gastrointestinal Issues 
• Auto-immune diseases
• & More

Each Functional Nutrition Treatment Plan Includes: 

Bio-nutrition: Food is medicine. Learning to incorporate foods that nourish and support both body and brain is just part of your nutrition prescription; the other is identifying and avoiding foods that may be causing you harm. Everyone is unique, and a diet that is right for one may be completely wrong for another. We provide a full nutritional breakdown SPECIFIC for you and your goals. We will keep you accountable though this process with access to our application and logging system.

Extensive review of lab results: Get an in-depth understanding of your unique physiology using conventional lab work as well as specialized functional tests.  It’s simple, STOP guessing!

Customized supplement plan: Based on your lab test results and designed to correct any imbalances, we will prescribe only what your body needs and nothing more.

Customized, efficient exercise program: We will develop this together based on your fitness goals, schedule, and the types of activities you enjoy. You will get more results in less time. This is a must for longevity, stop looking for the easy way out and put the time, work and effort into your health and wellness.

Stress management/reduction techniques: Excessive stress has a negative effect on your health. We will help you learn to better recognize and manage stress and recommend specific strategies to help you push the “pause button” and unwind. You’ll not only have greater peace of mind and more energy, but your entire system will respond more positively.

What should I expect during my Functional Nutrition Consultation?

In your initial functional nutrition consultation, you can expect to spend a lot more time with us than you would with a conventional provider. This is an in-depth 1-hour focused exam process. We are here to listen to your story and dive into your present/ past medical history. We work to uncover the underlying causes of your health problems through careful history taking, physical examination, and laboratory testing.

*Laboratory testing is not performed on site, this will require the patient to go to a designated lab assigned by the doctors for specific workups regarding your health history*. If you have recent lab work no longer than 3 months, you will need to bring that with you on your initial exam as we will use that as our starting point evaluation and add on additional testing as needed.

By investing this time and effort up front, many people find that working with a functional nutrition provider helps them get to the bottom of perplexing problems that have eluded other clinicians for years.

IV Nutritional Therapy

We offer in house customized IV blends and vitamin injections that are designed to target your specific health needs. This type of therapy is used to help address a wide range of nutritional and immune deficiencies administered by licensed and trained medical professionals located in our office.

What it is?

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a type of therapy that delivers medications and fluid replacement in a balanced salt solution directly through the veins. It is administered using a needle and syringe attached to a drip bag. Our team of doctors and nurses will tailor your treatment based on the symptoms you provide with the correct solution, medications, and vitamin supplements, and monitor how your body receives it.

Why?

• The fastest route to deliver your needed care
• IV Vitamin Therapy works by administration of vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This provides increased cell absorption and 100% bio availability of vitamins via IV infusion. 
• Less time consuming – approximately 30-45 minutes to administer and the effects are felt instantaneously
