Neurological Health
Neurologic disease or dysfunction does not start or end in the brain. Whether the concern is Autism Spectrum, ADHD or Alzheimer’s, achieving Neurologic Health requires a healthy system. The brain cannot function well in an inflamed, toxic, metabolically deranged environment. At Functional Medicine Specialists, we focus on evaluating our patient’s overall system and create specific plans to remedy any imbalances. There are very effective customizable ways to optimize your individual genetic expression and create the chemistry necessary for improved brain health.

Digestive Health
Digestive problems wreak havoc over your entire body leading to allergies, arthritis, autoimmune disease, rashes, acne, chronic fatigue, mood disorders, autism, dementia, cancer and more. Your digestion is central to your entire health. It is connected to everything that happens in your body.
Your entire immune system (and your body) is protected from the toxic environment in your gut by a layer only one cell thick. This thin layer covers a surface area approximately 3000 square feet. This single cell layer basically contains a sewer from entering the rest of the body. If that barrier is damaged, toxins, chemicals, bacteria and proteins have a direct route into your body, leading to a myriad of health issues. We typically start the healing process for many conditions by addressing the gut. Many times, if we heal the gut, other symptoms disappear.

Cardiovascular Health
Ninety percent of heart disease is preventable, yet heart disease is still the number one killer in this country. If your body were a computer, food would be the information or input to which your genetic code reacts. That in which you bathe your genes will determine how they are expressed.
Specific phytonutrients can actually help regulate blood sugar, lower LDL levels and even lower blood pressure. At Functional Medicine Specialists we can teach you how food can be your medicine, instead of depending on pharmaceutical pills that can have many unwanted side effects and do not address the root cause of the problem.

We also have motivating and caring wellness coaches to help you facilitate lasting diet and lifestyle changes.

The human body is like an orchestra. When everything balanced, you feel amazing. When it is out of sync, nothing works right. Balancing hormones is complex needs to be done safely or a great deal of damage can be done. Balancing hormones safely requires knowledge of how each hormone works with the others and how to monitor if the hormones are being metabolized and detoxified correctly. When you change or adjust one hormone, it affects the others. At Functional Medicine Specialists we want you to feel and function at your best.

PRP & Micro-Current Facials
I offer PRP Facials with vitamin injections before and personalized prescription creams for after care. I use the PURE Spin technology with much higher PRP yields. I also offer micro-current facials using the Electro Equiscope with a connective tissue modality. The Equiscope is capable of tightening and toning the muscles reducing the appearance of wrinkles while fueling skin cells with the proper nutrients at the cellular level. Both facials reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving you with glowing skin while also rejuvenating your skin at a cellular level.
