FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Functional medicine practices are geared towards identifying root causes, rather than merely band-aiding symptoms. While prescription medications can improve those symptoms (at times at the cost of unwanted side effects), there are many underlying factors that greatly contribute to our mental health. 

​

These can include various imbalances, hormones, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, infections, gut health, poor mitochondrial function, inflammation, genetic mutations, environmental factors, and more. 

​

Advanced blood work testing and other labs may be done to discover and correct these issues that can wreak havoc on our mental well-being. 

​

Utilizing diet, changing habits that harm your mind and body, supplements/herbs when appropriate, clearing out infections/toxins, breath work, vasovagal exercises, grounding, circadian rhythm setting, ancestral tenants, and mind/body medicine can produce profound results with the guidance of a trained provider.
