What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a systematic approach that focuses on root causes why you are currently lacking optimum health by:

Identifying and addressing the root causes of disease.

• Providing a systems-oriented approach
• Engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership.
• Addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms

Functional medicine supports your very own expression of health and vitality.

What makes Functional Medicine practitioners different?

Functional medicine practitioners are different because they:

Spend time with their patients

• Listen carefully to their histories
• Look at a variety of subtle interactions that influence long-term health including:
  • Detailed history that includes genetic elements
  • Environmental conditions
  • Lifestyle factors (nutrition, diet, and exercise) that influence long-term health
  • Lab work to determine the beginning of possible complex, chronic diseases

Why did Dr. Rodney choose to study Functional Medicine?

Dr. Rodney had been interested in making a difference in the long-term health of our patients (we now call health partners).

This new functional approach allows us to partner with you and empower you to live a life free of disability as you age so you can go the distance to fulfill our life purpose.

We want to help those who have health issues that have been overlooked because they fall within the “normal” range yet know that something needs to change.

We look forward to partnering with you as a medical detective helping those willing to take responsibility for their own health by making the choices that allows you to live a rejuvenation lifestyle.
