Functional Medicine

What is it? Functional Medicine (FM) is an evidence based physiologic approach to treat underlying causes of chronic disease. It is not a “band aid approach” to treat symptoms. Dr. Lisa uses a “Lifestyle” approach combining food plans, exercise, stress management and supplements to formulate protocols that are designed for your individual history and baseline lab testing.
What are common issues addressed by FM?
- Adrenal Dysfunction (i.e. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Cushings, Addison’s diseases)
- Leaky Gut (GERD, IBS, Constipation, Inflammatory Bowel disorders, etc.)
- Metabolic Issues (DM, Hyperlipidemia, HTN, Liver issues, etc.)
- Sleep Disturbance
- Neurotransmitter Issues (mood swings, anxiety, panic attacks)
- Autoimmune Disease (RA, Eczema, Psoriasis, Lupus, etc.)
- Chronic Pain

IV Therapy

Is a great, easy way to get a quick Nutritional and Hydration boost with IVs that contain ingredients such as: Vitamin C, B’s , Zinc, Magnesium, and Glutathione (a great detoxifying agent)!
The benefit is these ingredients bypass the gut and work within 24hours to provide a little “boost”.
Times when such a boost may be necessary are:
- Pre marathon
- Pre travel
- After a night out
- Patients with chronic conditions that may need ongoing nutritional and detoxification support.
**For more lasting effects to address chronic issues, a weekly or monthly IV schedule may be needed.
