Functional Medicine at IOC

Personalized Lifestyle Healthcare, also known as Functional Medicine, is a wholistic and comprehensive approach to improving your health. Functional Medicine utilizes an in-depth questionnaire, physical examination, comprehensive laboratory testing, and modifications to your diet and lifestyle to help you obtain optimal health.

How does Functional Medicine work?

Functional medicine identifies root causes of disease through in depth evaluation and specialized laboratory testing.

DON’T GUESS… TEST

Testing provides a map towards strategic restoration of health by nutrition, clinically indicated lifestyle behavior modifications , and exercise.

FAQs

  • Most plans do not cover functional medicine, however, do check with your insurance provider as some lab tests may be reimbursable.

  • No, we do not recommend you stop seeing your current provider(s) for your condition. Functional Medicine is intended to be complementary to your current providers to improve your overall health outcomes.

  • The aim is to optimize overall health through diet and lifestyle and some supplements may be necessary. Supplements are meant to offer temporary support as your body heals from the inside out. There may be some cases where supplements are beneficial for long term support.
