Hormone, preconception, and thyroid optimization
Holistic healthcare that meets you where you are
Our approach starts with you, the patient, and ends with a tailored plan that goes beyond surface level symptoms and gets to the root cause of disease.
Step 1: Your Story
Our patient-centered approach begins with your story. We discuss previous illnesses, injuries, trauma, stress, diet and lifestyle, along with any other medical diagnoses that you’ve previously been given.
Step 2: Lab Work
Based on your initial assessment, we’ll suggest various functional medicine labs that can include bloodwork, hormone labs, nutritional panels, gut microbiome testing and more. We don’t want to leave any stone unturned to discover the root cause of your health concerns.
Step 3: Treatment Plan
We’ll share the results from your labs and work with you to build an individualized plan that seeks to address the root causes of your health concerns.
Our plans can include everything from adjusting your diet and lifestyle, adding in nutritional supplements, reducing toxins, stress, and allergens, to hormone replacement and prescription medications when necessary.
Step 4: Follow Up
We’ll continue to check in with you and monitor your progress. We’ll periodically order new functional medicine labs to ensure that there is evidence that the root issues we address are proving to optimize your health.
