Functional Medicine is a patient-centered approach with the goal of identifying and treating the root causes of dis-ease, promoting the body’s innate healing processes and restoration to wellness.

Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, which, in the management of chronic dis-ease, merely suppress and/or mask symptoms, the functional approach heals. Chronic conditions that cannot be cured, including Type 2 Diabetes and autoimmune conditions, are generally well-managed and are often brought into remission long-term with a functional approach. Stephani Conner, FNP-C, owner and nurse practitioner at Integrated Wellness, PLLC, was diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disease in 2017 and opted for a functional approach instead of immunosuppressing drugs. It was this experience that led to the pursuit of Functional Medicine education and an emphasis on truly healing instead of symptom management.

Unfortunately, most patients who ultimately find relief with functional medicine have already wasted years of their lives seeking help yet feeling frustrated with Western-model sick-care. If you’re weary of walking the treadmill of continual medication use and endless refills, contact Integrated Wellness, PLLC to schedule a consultation to learn more about how functional medicine can help restore your health and vitality.
