4 Reasons to Work with a Functional Medicine Provider
You’re Currently Experiencing a Chronic Health Issue
If you’ve been dealing with a chronic health condition, and have tried the traditional medical route of tests and prescriptions but feel like you’re not making progress, it might be time to try a different approach. Oftentimes we need a plan tailored to our individual health needs in order to thrive and return to health and well being.
Traditional Tests Keep Coming Back Normal but “Something is Still Off”
It can be overwhelming to wait months to get in with a provider, then wait again for test results to return, only to be told “everything looks normal”. Most of the time these tests will fall within the normal range but are close enough to being considered high or low that it should be evaluated further. If your tests are “normal” but you’re dealing with any of the following, it might be time to see a functional medicine provider:
Brain Fog
Bloating
Diarrhea/Constipation
Fatigue
Sleep Troubles
You’re Looking for Natural Alternatives
When working with a functional medicine provider, you’ll explore healing through the following methods:
Dietary Changes
Lifestyle and Stress Evaluation
Gut Health Optimization
Hormonal and Immune Function
Combining all of these aspects of our health we’re able to tailor a plan specifically to you and your goals to help you achieve optimal wellness.
You’ve Been to Multiple Providers and No One Hears You
If you’ve ever been to an appointment and felt like your provider wasn’t fully listening to your health experience, please know that won’t happen with a functional medicine provider. For your appointment we have you complete our questionnaire and bring all recent lab work prior to your visit so that we can guarantee your 60 minute appointment is indeed YOUR 60 minutes to work through your health history and understand your struggles. You’ll never leave the office feeling like you were rushed through your time.
