What is Functional Medicine?
It Involves an In-Depth Analysis.
Functional Medicine is an evidence-based healthcare field that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of imbalances and diseases. Dr. Jessica also takes extra steps in identifying what is functioning optimally in your body, using these areas as leverage points to overcome any other areas of dysfunctions. This refreshing approach considers the body (and mind) as a whole — more complex than the sum of its different parts.
To get the most accurate representation of your health status, Dr. Jessica relies on the following:
Expanded medical history identifying elements such as triggers and perpetrators of health imbalances
Biometrics and physical examination
Labs (bloodwork and/or urine, stool, genetic testing, etc.)
Systematic analysis of all of the above, resulting in a “blueprint” of your health
It Involves Solutions Backed by Science.
Each treatment plan emerges from research and from your unique presentation. It includes items such as:
Lifestyle medicine (nutrition plans, movement, stress management techniques, etc.)
Nutraceuticals (vitamins, supplements and herbs)
Therapeutic modalities (alpha-stim sessions, sauna, light therapy, etc.)
These recommendations are provided in order to act on the root causes of dysfunctions while addressing your current symptoms and/or health challenges.
It Involves Your Commitment.
As a Functional Medicine patient, your active participation will determine your level of success. Most of your journey will be in the comfort of your home — creating positive physiological changes, one step at a time. Change is hard. We are here to help.
