A holistic approach to your well-being
Functional Medicine focuses on understanding the root causes of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms. By considering factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and environment, this approach tailors personalized plans to nurture your overall health. Patients often find improved energy, better digestion, and enhanced mental clarity, all while addressing chronic concerns. Embrace a path that seeks balance and harmony within your body, empowering you to live a healthier, more vibrant life.
PROMOTING WELLNESS FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Think of Functional medicine as a preventative medicine. Unlike Western medicine today, that only steps in once you are in a disease state, Functional medicine would rather have you living your best life all the time-staying ahead of your health instead of trying to play catch-up.
Dr. Cook chose to specialize in functional medicine along with Chiropractic care as another way for her to treat her patients as a whole. In fact, her first degree was in nutrition. Then later as she studied Ayurveda, that really solidified just how important nutrition and gut health is to overcoming any health concerns.
Whether you choose to dive into functional medicine alone or in conjunction with chiropractic care you will discover how starting from the inside creates more stability and long-lasting wellness for a life time.
Taking This Approach
It is important to know that the process requires patience and trust in your body to heal itself. It is not a quick fix. Dr. Cook knows that anything that is a quick fix tends to not last very long. Her intention is to help you achieve your health goals, get to optimal wellness and to live a life full of purpose for the long haul.
In a functional medicine initial session Dr. Cook spends 2 hours taking a full detailed look at diet, lifestyle and any health concerns. Once these are understood, additional tests will be requested; blood work and/or hair analysis are examples. The follow up session will go over the test results and you will receive a detailed plan to support your goals. After the first 1-3 sessions, follow-ups are as needed.
**The tests that will be requested is dependent on your circumstances and symptoms and if any has been done recently.
