What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is “root cause” medicine. It aims to uncover the underlying causes of disease, rather than merely treating symptoms. Functional medicine relies on the following principles:

  • Person-centered care. We strive to not just bring relief but to help you realize your full genetic potential for wellness and vitality.
  • Science-based approach. We use the latest laboratory testing, genomic profiles, and other diagnostic techniques to give us a complete picture of your health.
  • Integrative medical care. We combine the best aspects of Western medicine with more holistic practices – incorporating nutrition, exercise, botanical medicines, supplements, detoxification, and stress-management techniques.
  • Client and practitioner are partners in the therapeutic process.

As functional medicine practitioners, you can expect us to spend more time with you than your typical doctor. We take our time to listen to your history, seeking to connect the dots between seemingly unrelated factors. You can expect us to dig deep to understand the genetic, biochemical, environmental, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your illness. 

And we look at all  the ways we can support you in rebuilding your health from the inside out – from supplements to stress management to medications (when needed). Then we use this information to create a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan to bring balance back to your body.

Your life was meant to be lived.

At Benehealth, we want you to live the life you deserve. That means having energy and good health so you can keep participating in all of your favorite activities, spend time with your loved ones, and live every moment to the fullest. It’s time to stop letting your health stand in the way of your happiness, and functional medicine is the answer to feeling your best again. 

Benehealth practitioners use a systems biology approach, which means we aren’t focused on just one body part or diagnosis. We go past the diagnosis, thoroughly investigating the entire physiological system to find the areas where dysfunction, damage, or imbalance is present.

By identifying and correcting these imbalances, your body is able to “course correct” and health can be restored.

We evaluate the whole person, recognizing that your body, mind, and lived experience are incredibly important to fully understand your health.

Restore Your Health and Longevity

Health and longevity begins by evaluating with the big picture in mind.  We know that there are so many factors that can have an impact on your overall well-being.  We go beyond simply treating symptoms.  After we complete the Benehealth IQ assessment we can further tailor a care plan to address the unique findings that are causing symptoms or disease, with the goal of stopping them for good.

Once we've worked on remedying the root cause, we'll create a wellness plan that integrates holistic approaches to maintain your good health, and prevent further disease.

By addressing the root cause(s), we not only achieve reduction or elimination of symptom and disease, we also enhance your overall wellness and reduce risk of further disease.  Our mission is to have you feeling mentally and physically your best, now and for years to come.

What Do We Treat?

The health and longevity begins by evaluating your health with the big picture in mind. We know that there are so many factors that can have an impact on your health, and this means going beyond simply treating symptoms like traditional medicine. After our team has a full understanding of your ailments, we can begin by removing the factors that are causing the symptoms with the goal of stopping them for good. This can mean changing environmental factors in your life, examining how genes play a role, and treating any other underlying causes. Our health coaches will work with you to determine what changes will bring you the best results!

Once we’ve worked on remedying the root cause, we’ll create a wellness plan that integrates holistic approaches to healing the harm done by your ailment. With these steps, we hope that your health will be restored again! By addressing not only your current wellness, but also preventative care practices, your health and longevity will be stronger than ever before. Feeling mentally and physically your best, now and for years to come, is the mission of this wellness program.
