We are focused on restoring health and removing obstacles to healing by applying the tools and principles of functional medicine and naturopathic medicine. We treat the whole person—not just a diagnosis. The reason we are able to help our patients recover from such a wide variety of health issues is because we focus on restoring normal and healthy function to your body.

Our Process
Patient Review
We listen compassionately to your lifestyle, history and personal background to better understand you as a whole person.
Testing
Once we have some background, we establish what areas need to be examined in more depth to help give us answers. Testing provides us with some unseen facts.
Create a Plan
We discuss your health goals and come up with a plan together and discuss the process to improving your health. We will suggest to you the next steps and provide resources to do so.
Monitor
We will schedule follow-ups in person or via telehealth to see how you are feeling and discuss possible modifications or further testing if necessary.
Functional Medicine is not covered by insurance at this time. We treat a wide range of patients from those looking to look or feel younger, lose weight, those with chronic pain and many fighting lifelong issues. We prefer to see patients who see their health as a priority in their life and want to make a commitment to healing.
Functional Medicine Testing
In functional medicine we are working under the fundamental concept that all illness, and chronic disease ultimately stem from imbalances in the body. These tests help us determine where we need to take a closer and more detailed look at your health.
We call them “specialized” because this type of testing is not typically offered in traditional medicine. These tests help provide the exact information we need to create a treatment plan that will address root causes of illness and restore your health.
Blood
Comprehensive functional medicine blood tests provide much more information than typical blood tests that are run in most doctor’s offices. These tests look deeper into some of the key areas that are often overlooked such as inflammation, immune system, thyroid, blood sugar regulation, energy production, liver and digestion, cardiovascular risk factors, etc. We use this test to help us identify areas of reduced function in the body. This helps us narrow our scope of focus, so we know exactly where to go and discover the root cause of your health issue.
Stool
We use functional stool testing to assess how well your digestive system is working. We can determine if you are breaking down food well, if you are absorbing nutrients from your food, or not, if you have inflammation or a leaky gut. We can measure the good and harmful chemicals that the organisms in your gut are producing and see if you have healthy levels of good bacteria or if you have harmful bacteria, parasites, or an overgrowth of yeast.
Hair
Hair Mineral Analysis Test (HMTA) gives the most-reliable results on the body's mineral content. It measures the levels of minerals, metals and toxins in the body and allows us to diagnose mineral deficiencies, and heavy metal poisoning.
We like to utilize supplements instead of prescription medication as much as possible because they are able to address the root cause of why someone is feeling the way they do with the least amount of side effects. We view supplements as a tool that can help patients achieve optimal health. We have several products we have created and also work with getBiotics to provide 300+ high quality and unique supplements for a large variety of uses.
Supplements
When we eat, we are not just feeding the human in us, we are also feeding the entire microbial ecosystem that lives on and inside us. And the health and balance in this ecosystem directly impact our well-being.
Food is our first medicine. It can be a major foundation for creating resilience in the body and mind. Our diet provides the roots for our overall health.
Diet
Multi-spectrum red light emits packets of light called photons. Photons break the painful inflammatory cycle by dilating small blood and lymphatic vessels. This increase in circulation removes the irritating inflammatory products and results in accelerated healing and pain relief. It also:
-
Stimulates collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity
-
Increases fibroblast production, which makes collagen
-
Increases blood circulation to the tissue
-
Reduces inflammation in cells
This painless tool offers benefits that are well known and accepted by the FDA to reduce pain and inflammation and increase circulation
We are a Firefly: Powerful Multi-Spectral Photobiomodulation Therapy Practitioner and offer sessions at our clinic.
Red Light Therapy
Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides supplemental oxygen, the higher pressure in the chamber increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. HBOT aims to break the cycle of swelling, oxygen starvation, and tissue death. It can help your body heal by helping to grow new skin, blood vessels and connective tissues; when the body develops new capillaries, oxygen therapy helps to improve blood flow to organs that lack sufficient oxygen and blood, thus helping wounds to heal more quickly. It also:
-
Improves the ability of white blood cells to destroy bacteria
-
Helps to prevent and fight certain types of infections
-
Helps to reduce tissue swelling
-
Reduces swelling while flooding the tissues with oxygen
-
Effective in treating symptoms of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
HBOT is very safe when performed by an experienced healthcare provider and we offer this exclusivly in our clinic.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Managing your stress, anxiety and emotions is a critical part of the path to better health. Deeply rooted in faith, we also offer spiritual guidance for those interested in a deeper layer of healing.
Counseling
Your lifestyle impacts the foundations of your health on many levels. Sleep and rest, exercise and movement, nutrition, relationships, stress management, and behavior modification all play important roles in your overall health and well-being and can contribute to making your body vulnerable to other issues.
Lifestyle Changes
Our functional approach considers a patient's lifestyle, genetics, diet, and environmental factors to develop a personalized treatment plan that improves their well-being and quality of life. Each plan is specific to the patient and their needs.
