About Functional Medicine

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine focuses on prevention and underlying physiology versus symptoms of chronic disease. By analyzing and establishing a base line physiology through a detailed medical history, functional and traditional lab tests and integrative diagnostics, our practitioners create customized treatment plans that leas to improved patient outcomes.

Our perspective at Inspired Health is that Functional medicine practitioners are really “Inflammologists”.  Our role as medical detectives, is to find the root cause of inflammation.

Specializing in
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Gut Health (GI Disorders)
  • Fertility / Infertility
  • Hormone Health (Endocrinology)
  • Integrative Medicine
  • Pain Management
  • Chronic Disease
  • Lifestyle Counseling and Wellness

Inflammation is the number one common denominator of all dis-ease and symptoms.

PRAISE FOR FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

K.Manion’s Transformation

  • I have been using Functional Medicine and working with Inspired Health for approximately 3 months. This has been one of the best things I have done for myself. I went in seeking help with weight loss, lack of energy and loose bowels. After my time working with her I have lost weight, regained my energy (no more napping every afternoon) and my BMs are back to normal. All in just 3 month!!. I am so thankful to Inspired Health – this clinic is wonderful to work with and will root for you along your journey. I have also had acupuncture for neck and back pain. I am now free of pain in my neck and working on my back. Thank you ever so much Inspired Health!

TRAINING + PRINCIPLES

Functional Medicine Training

Our physicians’ postgraduate Functional Medicine Training started with Dr. Datis Kharrazian in 2006.  In 2015 they were accepted into the Institute of Functional Medicine’s rigorous certification program. The IFM is a national and global leader in Functional Medicine education, and “The Functional Medicine Movement”. The certification program includes a week long Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice course, plus six Advanced Practice Modules within seven years from the time of application.

Biochemical Individuality

Biochemical individuality describes the importance of individual variations in metabolic function that derive from genetic and environmental differences among individuals.

Patient-Centered Medicine

Patient-centered medicine emphasizes “patient care” rather than “disease care”

Dynamic Balance

Dynamic balance of internal and external factors.

Web-like Interconnections

Web-like interconnections of physiological factors – an abundance of research now supports the view that the human body functions as an orchestrated network of interconnected systems, rather than individual systems functioning autonomously and without effect on each other.

Health as a Positive Vitality

Health as a positive vitality – not merely the absence of disease.

Promotion of Organ Reserve

Promotion of organ reserve as the means to enhance longevity and health span.
