Illness often occurs with an inability to adapt to stress. Stress may be multifactorial as injury and infection; environmental from allergies and toxic exposures; nutritional from poor diet, food allergies or not meeting individual nutritional requirements; or emotional involving relationships, family, or work stress.

To understand how the inability to adapt has affected each person we combine information from the specialties of nutritional medicine, environmental medicine, osteopathic manipulative medicine, and homeopathy with medical diagnosis to address your needs. Our goal is to understand the root of the problems you are experiencing, and we individualize the assessment to evaluate your unique requirements.

There are often several underlying components contributing to the cause of an illness that are not identified in standard medical tests, and it is possible to identify these components through functional medical testing. The answers to your health problem can be as a simple as a diet change or might involve evaluating and treating multiple organ systems.
