Functional Medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms. It seeks to optimize health and well-being by considering the unique lifestyle, dietary environmental, and genetic factors that influence an individual's health.

Dr. Breana and Susannah can guide you through some key principles and practices of Functional Medicine to help optimize your health:

Personalized Approach: Functional Medicine recognizes that each person is biochemically unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It emphasizes individualized care by considering a person's genetics, lifestyle, environment, and personal health history.
Root Cause Analysis: Rather than just addressing symptoms, Functional Medicine aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of illness. This may involve investigating imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal issues, gut health, toxicity, or chronic inflammation.
Comprehensive Assessment: Functional Medicine practitioners conduct in-depth evaluations to gather information about your health history, lifestyle, diet, stress levels, sleep patterns, and environmental exposures. They may also use advanced laboratory tests to identify potential imbalances or dysfunctions.
