How Functional Medicine
Gives You a Better Approach to Health

Have you ever been told, “Your test results are normal” when you know something still isn’t right? Or maybe you’ve been given a prescription that helps for a while, but the problem keeps coming back?

That’s because traditional healthcare focuses on managing symptoms, not finding and fixing the root cause of the issue.

Functional medicine takes a different approach. Instead of just looking at individual symptoms, I take the time to understand how everything in your body is connected. My goal is to help you get to the bottom of what’s causing your health challenges so you can feel better—for good.

How is Functional Medicine
Different from Conventional Medicine?

Most conventional healthcare works like this:

🔹 Short appointments where doctors focus only on symptoms
🔹 Medications to manage issues instead of finding the root cause
🔹 A “one-size-fits-all” approach based on standard treatment guidelines

But your body is unique, and what works for someone else may not work for you. That’s why functional medicine coaching focuses on personalized care and looking at the whole picture—your diet, stress, lifestyle, and environment—to figure out what’s actually causing your symptoms.

Here’s a side-by-side look at how functional medicine coaching compares to conventional medicine:

1. Time & Attention to Your Health

Conventional Medicine: Appointments are often 7-15 minutes long, with a focus on identifying a diagnosis and prescribing medication.

Functional Medicine Coaching: My sessions are much longer, giving me time to ask the right questions and truly understand your health concerns. I take a deep dive into your lifestyle, nutrition, stress, and medical history to get a full picture of your health.

2. Finding the Root Cause vs. Treating Symptoms

Conventional Medicine: The focus is on managing symptoms with medications or procedures. For example, if you have heartburn, you might be given an antacid—but what’s causing the heartburn in the first place?

Functional Medicine Coaching: I look at why you have symptoms in the first place. Instead of just masking the issue, I help you figure out if your symptoms come from gut health imbalances, food sensitivities, stress, or inflammation—and then we work to fix it.

3. Personalized vs. One-Size-Fits-All Care

Conventional Medicine: Treatment is based on standard protocols for diseases. If two people have the same condition, they’ll likely get the same treatment—even if their root causes are different.

Functional Medicine Coaching: I take an individualized approach. Every person has a unique history, genetics, and lifestyle, so I create a plan that fits you, your body, and your specific needs.

4. Prevention & Long-Term Health vs. Quick Fixes

Conventional Medicine: The focus is on diagnosing diseases once they’ve already developed. Medications help manage the condition, but often don’t stop it from getting worse over time.

Functional Medicine Coaching: I focus on prevention and long-term healing. Many chronic diseases—like diabetes, autoimmune conditions, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Long COVID, and digestive issues—start long before they are officially diagnosed. By identifying imbalances early, I can help you make changes that prevent bigger health problems down the road.

5. Working With Your Body vs. Overriding Symptoms

Conventional Medicine: Medications often suppress symptoms instead of working with the body’s natural healing processes.

Functional Medicine Coaching: I believe your body is designed to heal itself when given the right support. Through nutrition, lifestyle changes, stress management, and targeted supplements, I help you create an environment where your body can restore balance.

What About Testing? Do I Need Lab Work?

Functional medicine coaching often includes specialized lab testing to uncover hidden imbalances. These aren’t the same tests you’d typically get at a doctor’s office. Instead, they can provide insights into issues like gut health, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalances that may be affecting how you feel.
