I have a diagnosis, what now?
Receiving a diagnosis can be daunting, yet for others, it offers clarity to their discomfort. For us, a diagnosis is a starting point. We collaborate with you to delve deep into the changes in your physiology and restore balance. Why do you have fatigue? Anxiety? Eczema? Painful joints? Let's discover together.
If you haven't gotten better through conventional medicine, or you want to know what you can do other than take medication, a functional health coach can help.
....I have symptoms with no name, what now?
Perhaps you have been told your symptoms are "head-scratching" or that your hives are "idiopathic" (without a known cause). We believe solving a health problem doesn't come from naming it, but from identifying the root causes and restoring balance.
The Power of Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine asks how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual
—The Institute for Functional Medicine
The Functional Medicine Approach is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together
ONE CONDITION, MANY CAUSES | ONE CAUSE, MANY CONDITIONS
A diagnosis can be the result of more than one cause. Likewise, a cause such as inflammation may lead to a number of diagnoses, such as depression or heart disease.
The body is a whole system that is interconnected
Diet, lifestyle, and environment turn on—or off— our genes
Your health journey is unique—your treatment is personalized.

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
We may know what a healthy lifestyle looks like, so why don't we 'just do it'?

MIND-BODY MEDICINE
Did you know that every cell in your body is listening to your thoughts?
Sometimes, to get to the root cause of 'dis-ease', we have to dig a little deeper to reveal the beliefs or stories that shape our behaviours and health.
FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"—Hippocrates
When you cells are nourished with the right foods (and essential supplements), we correct nutritional deficiencies and restore function, which leads to better outcomes.
FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Functional and Genetic Testing can help further personalize your plan
Precision health tools such as microbiome (GI) and DNA testing can help gain deeper insight into your overall health picture.
"To change our lives without accurate information, without support, without a flat-out cheerleader, can feel daunting. Not to mention downright overwhelming."
—Carrie E. Levine, CNM, IFMCP, Author of Whole Women Health
'Health is a total state of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being'
—Mark Hyman, IFM Board President and Founder of the Cleveland Center for Functional Medicine

—Patrick Hanaway, Chief Medical Education Officer for the IFM
Questions? We are here to answer them:
What is the difference between a functional medicine practitioner and a coach?
Your care team will comprise of both a functional practitioner and a health coach. Both work in close partnership to fully understand the integrated needs of our clients and support their related treatment plans. Your coach will guide you from day 1 of your wellness journey to support your treatment plan, while typically, your practitioner will assist with diagnosis, prescribing any medication or supplements and developing your ongoing treatment plan.
Will you work with my primary care provider?
It depends on your provider! In an ideal world, your functional health path is fully integrated with your primary care. But, let's face it, it's not always a reality today. Please note that functional medicine is designed to reveal the underlining causes of chronic symptoms, but does not replace primary, urgent and acute care.
What if the patient is my child?
Yes, many parents come to us for their child. Your coach will make sure the treatment plan is child-friendly. For example, your coach will work with you to select supplements that are tasty and easy to swallow.
"Part of being a healthy person is being well integrated and at peace"
