A Functional Approach to Healthcare

Individualized healthcare uncovering the root cause of symptoms

I believe healthcare is most effective as a comprehensive, deep investigation of the signals and symptoms from the body to uncover the root cause of imbalances and direct treatment. A functional approach to health requires active participation from the patient and the results can be long-lasting, a pivotal shift in enhancing overall health & thriving in life.

The root cause approach to healthcare is what I am dedicated to practicing.

My approach often involves functional testing to understand, on a deeper level, where imbalances may be. Tests are often chosen to investigate the body system that I think could be the root cause of the symptom. I see so much empowerment for patients in comprehensive testing to validate or rule out underlying causes of symptoms. Symptoms I often see and treat include:

  • Fatigue, insomnia

  • Preconception, fertility, history of pregnancy loss

  • PMS, pelvic pain, painful periods, irregular periods, PCOS

  • Abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, gas, bloating, SIBO, IBD, IBS

  • Allergies: food & environmental

  • Pediatrics: rashes, abdominal symptoms, ENT, food allergies, developmental delays

  • Mood symptoms: anxiety, depression, mood swings, ADHD, PPD, PPA

  • Thyroid imbalances, skin rashes, headaches, histamine intolerance/MCAS, EBV

  • Methylation defects/MTHFR, comprehensive genetic education

For those wanting to grow their family, I have created a strategic, effective and individualized program, Fertile Future.

I also specialize in nutrigenomics: the science behind how nutrition and specific nutrients impact healthy function of our genes. By testing individual’s genetic variants, we get targeted information on which specific nutrients are best to improve symptoms and underlying imbalances. This is one of my trusted approaches for patients trying to get pregnant, have a history of miscarriage, are experiencing postpartum mood symptoms, life-long anxiety, depression, headaches and/or estrogen dominance symptoms.
