YOU are a complex living organism interacting with your environment based on many factors including your body and genetic blueprint, your experiences and even your beliefs. Such a complex organism requires a specific approach to be able to understand all that is involved in the response against disease. For the most truly effective approach to treatment, it is imperative to consider the whole structure even when focusing on one system or organ. We must never forget the WHOLE.
Such complex conditions require a multidisciplinary team of professionals working TOGETHER for a comprehensive understanding of your situation, bringing together critical stand points in an effort to minimize the possibility for human error, as well as to avoid the potential exclusion of what could be considered not so vital information in relation to your problem/s.
The core team consists of a functional doctor, a biological dentist, a functional psychologist and a clinical nutritionist. Together your team members will take into consideration your medical history, results of your initial assessment, and the various medical evaluations of each discipline, from which an analysis and therapeutic plan are created and implemented immediately.
Depending on the overall condition of your health and the severity and number of problems you present, a specific specialist or specialists may be called upon to join the core team. These additional assessments, recommendations and/or procedures will be incorporated into your overall treatment plan making any necessary modifications if required. The mission of this team is not only to analyze and treat but also to educate you, the patient, regarding any and all important information related to your condition.
The team is in constant communication, considering every single important aspect from all perspectives to always maintain the vision of the WHOLE, and thereby achieving the base goal of the functional medicine approach: Treating YOU and not the disease.
Functional Physician
Trained to improve patient outcomes through prevention, early assessment and comprehensive management of complex chronic disease, your core functional team leader accomplishes this by identifying and healing the underlying clinical imbalances of chronic disease while creating momentum towards health. Your functional physician will be the primary channel through which all medical information will flow, and will lead the effort to integrate the information provided by the rest of the functional team specialists.
Spiritual Psychologist
Often called “the untouched organ” -- and for many doctors not a part of the overall chronic problem -- your mind filters everything surrounding it, aided by your experiences, thoughts, beliefs and fears. In the functional approach to treatment, the mind plays a key role during disease management. Our psychologists are not only trained in conventional therapy but also utilize a wide array of interventions intended to help heal the mind along with the body. Among these are: Energy Medicine, Energy Psychology, Focusing and Emotional Medicine. Mind and body are equally important to us.
Biological Dentist
Today there are many studies that can demonstrate and scientifically prove how dental issues can create or be the root cause of systemic conditions or repercussions. Our goal is to determine the possible systemic relation if found with any undetected or previously established dental problems. In contrast, biological practitioners try to find the systemic causes of illness. To remove the root cause is to take a major step towards healing. As a rule, we opt for the least invasive, least traumatic and least toxic means of diagnosis and treatment. True biological care supports the body’s natural abilities of self-healing and regeneration.
Clinical Nutritionist
Let’s start by explaining that in the presence of disease everything changes when it comes to nutrition. Our nutritionist is trained exactly for that, to know your nutritional needs under the stressful condition of chronic illness. Nutrition is the essence of our treatment, making it the first line of therapy: food as medicine. To do this, our nutritionist will take a detailed nutritional history and clinical assessment allowing her to tailor a specific-to-your-needs organic diet. Our food is free of chemicals, additives, preservatives and colorants. When it comes to treatment, Organic does make the difference.
