Functional Medicine in Clive, Iowa

Let's find out how and why your illness occurs and restore health by addressing the root causes of disease on an individual basis

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is an individualized, patient-focused model of care that helps discover the root cause of chronic disease and empower patients toward optimal wellness. It focuses on WHY the patient has particular symptoms or diseases. Functional Medicine aims to treat the whole person rather than simply masking symptoms.

What does Functional Medicine look like in our office?

First and foremost, Functional Medicine is a team effort between you and the Functional Medicine doctor.

During the initial visit we will take a deep dive into your history from birth to present, identify health goals, and establish the patient/practitioner relationship. We listen and learn about you– all details matter.
After the initial visit, we will determine which in-depth labs need to be done. Everything recommended is individualized.
- Testing examples include: comprehensive blood panels, stool tests, food sensitivities, hormone tests, urinary organic acids, salivary cortisol, and more.
Once the results of the labs are in, we will go over them together and form a care plan tailored specifically to you. Our Functional Medicine care plans help patients work toward greater wellness with high-grade supplements, nutritional eating, and lifestyle changes.
Once the journey begins, we will continue to support you along the way because making significant lifestyle changes can be a unique challenge. Healing is not always linear but optimizing your quality of life and feeling like the best version of you is simply blissful.
