Functional Medicine is a holistic healing system that is quickly becoming a standalone medical specialty in the U.S. Functional Medicine providers see the body as a set of inter-weaving cellular functions that can be optimized through food and lifestyle solutions for metabolic efficiency, disease prevention, and healthy aging.
Your cellular functions are as unique as your fingerprint. Discover how Functional Medicine uses advanced diagnostic testing and personalized lifestyle plans to balance the functions in your body so you can heal and stay well.

Ayurveda is a holistic healing system that assesses health potential and physiologic imbalances using a body-mind-spirit diagnostic framework. Treatment plans emphasize regular routines that include diet, lifestyle, and spiritual activities that support circadian alignment, efficient cellular activity, and balanced emotions/mental processing. Herbs, yoga, and specialized massage techniques are also used.
Learn how to optimize your health using mind-body-spirit nutrition, natural herbs, and other healing techniques based on Ayurvedic healing.
