She listens. Then, she uses her vast knowledge and training to create a plan for healing.
When outside help was needed, her vast resources of other exceptional doctors led me to get other treatments that I needed that were beyond her office.
Recently, after months of anxiety, Dr. Peterson helped me find and understand that my gut health was affecting my hormones AND causing elevated levels of anxiety. Presently I am without anxiety and medication free because of the changes she helped me integrate into my daily routine!
Perimenopause had left me struggling with insomnia and constant fatigue, but Dr. Peterson solutions have been a game-changer. I’m now sleeping soundly through the night and waking up refreshed, without the need for medication.
Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.
Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease.
Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
During a functional medicine consultation, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized wellness plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns.
Functional medicine incorporates a variety of treatment modalities, including nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols, and mind-body therapies. The approach is highly individualized based on each patient's unique needs.
The timeline for seeing results with functional medicine varies depending on the complexity of your health issues, your adherence to the treatment plan, and other factors. While some patients experience improvements in symptoms relatively quickly, achieving long-term wellness often requires ongoing commitment and patience.
