Why Choose Functional Integrative Medicine?

Functional Medicine is the medicine of “why” and of trying to understand the root cause of your symptoms, illness or condition. Looking at the vast number of possible factors impacting your health health, including your genetics, environment, nutritional status, stress, toxins, and your personal belief systems, our functional medicine practitioners assesses the core imbalances that need to be rebalanced to help you reclaim optimal health.

Our office employs a wide variety of modalities to help you get well and maintain your health, including Western and non-Western therapies. At Five Stones, we include nutritional therapies, massage therapy, nutritional supplements, botanical medicines, personal fitness training, energy medicine, hypnosis, acupuncture, and others in our treatment options for our patients.

​

What you'll gain working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner:

• A partner who will listen to your concerns and co-create a wellness plan

• The use of the best practices of Western medicine with effective alternative and holistic therapies

• More energy, a greater sense of wellbeing, and a fuller life for the long term

• Knowledge of how your body works, and how you can work with it, not against it
