Functional Medicine is a systems-based approach focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of imbalance. It views the body as an interconnected ecosystem, where symptoms are understood as signals of deeper patterns rather than isolated problems. By considering factors such as nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and genetics, functional medicine supports long-term health and resilience through a more complete understanding of how the body functions as a whole.

ACUPUNCTURE + FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
This integrative session combines the regulatory support of acupuncture with the investigative lens of Functional Medicine—offering both immediate ease and long-term insight. Acupuncture works to release holding patterns and restore the body’s natural flow, while Functional Medicine looks at deeper systems and root causes, connecting symptoms to larger patterns of imbalance.
Your visit includes a comprehensive intake and acupuncture treatment, along with individualized guidance on next steps—whether through lab testing, dietary shifts, herbal support, or lifestyle changes. Together, these two frameworks offer a powerful path back to vitality. Acupuncture-only treatment is also available, learn more.
