functional medicine

Functional medicine was founded in 1990 by Dr. Jeffrey Bland. He created the term "functional medicine" and started "The Institute of Functional Medicine".

Functional medicine is a system where we work with you the patient to access your entire body and target the root cause of your disease. Functional medicine can be very confusing and with the amount of information available online down right complicated, we will work tirelessly with you to navigate you through your journey to discovering what is causing you to feel like crap.

We understand that health care in general does not offer any guarantees. Functional medicine is best for those who understand that the state of disease occurs over a very long time and healing is an investment of your time. The body in and of its self is a very complicated system that God has created. We will use the tools and experience we have to address what we understand today. In the end we understand all efforts must be blessed by God.

Absolutely!  We will not make you any empty promises and will not tell you that we have the answers to all of your problems. As noted before the body is extremely complex and we only know so much. What we will promise is that we will take the time to listen to you and validate what it is that you are feeling and going thru. We will be here for you and support you thru your journey, and that is our guarantee. 

We understand anything medical can be scary and expensive not to mention confusing and borderline insane. We understand this and are here for you. We have taken the liberty to break down what some of these costs are and what you can expect (prices subject to change):

Initial visit

-Costs for your first appointment are $175. 

-During this visit we will review your health history and your health concerns. We will then work together to find the right path to address your concerns and get you back on the path to wellness. 

-After this initial visit, we will take time to research your options, then collaborate with you on the best tests recommendations (if any) and changes to your lifestyle that should be implemented.

Tests

-Costs for the various tests required are between $180-$950. 

-There are numerous tests available and the price ranges vary widely, each case is unique.

-Please ask and we will give you an estimate on what costs you can expect to pay for these tests.

-In order to test your current health state, we will need to draw your blood. This is a minimally pain free process.

Follow Up Visit

-Costs for your follow up visit are $100.

-At the follow up visit, if any tests were performed we will discuss the results with you. We will also give you recommendations on life style changes, supplements, medications, etc.

-Additional follow ups usually are required to keep tabs on how you are responding treatment. You can expect to have at least 1-3 follow up visits based on the complexity of your case.

See the photo gallery below for a test sample with a short description of each area of the test. We will go over the areas of your test that need improvement as well as point out the areas you are doing good in. 

***THE TESTS SHOWN BELOW ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL THE TESTS WE WILL ORDER FOR EACH FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE VISIT, EACH CASE IS UNIQUE. THE TESTS BELOW ARE TO GIVE THE PATIENT SOME GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ON WHAT THE TESTS MEASURE OR LOOK FOR.***
