Questions Along the Path
Functional Medicine Philosophy
It means we stop playing symptom Whac-A-Mole and start tracing why things are happening in the first place. We look at how your body’s systems — hormones, gut, immune, detox, nervous, and energy metabolism — communicate (or sometimes, miscommunicate). The goal isn’t to silence your body’s messages; it’s to decode them.
Your mitochondria are your body’s microscopic power plants — tiny energy factories inside every cell. When they’re sluggish, you feel it: fatigue, brain fog, slow recovery, hormonal chaos. Supporting them is less about “biohacking” and more about “bio-respecting.” We do that by improving nutrient status (think magnesium, B-vitamins, CoQ10), lowering inflammation, balancing blood sugar, and giving them oxygen, movement, and rest. In short: when your mitochondria thrive, you thrive.
Because it’s the body’s smoke alarm. A little inflammation protects you; too much turns your cells into stressed roommates who stop cleaning up after themselves. Chronic inflammation drives everything from fatigue and pain to anxiety and metabolic dysfunction. We find out why your inflammation is high — gut permeability, blood sugar swings, poor sleep, toxin load — and calm the fire at its source.
About 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, and your gut also makes most of your serotonin. When it’s unhappy, your whole body knows. Gas, bloating, fatigue, mood changes — it’s all connected. We work on digestion, microbiome diversity, and gut lining repair using food, lifestyle, and targeted nutrients so your gut can get back to doing its real job: keeping you nourished and resilient.
Why do you care about circadian rhythm and sleep? Because your circadian rhythm is the body’s master conductor. When it’s off, everything plays out of tune. Deep sleep is when your brain takes out the trash, your hormones reset, and your mitochondria recharge. We use light exposure, movement timing, and nutrition strategies to help you fall back into rhythm — so your body runs like it actually got the memo.
Yes — but not to punish yourself. Movement is medicine. It moves lymph, improves insulin sensitivity, builds mitochondrial capacity, and helps regulate mood. The best movement is the one you’ll actually do: walking, strength training, yoga, dancing in the kitchen — all count.
No rigid rules — just real food. We ditch the Standard American Diet (appropriately nicknamed SAD) and shift toward nutrient-dense, whole foods that your body recognizes. Think: colorful vegetables, clean proteins, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbs. Your cells can’t build vibrant health out of ultraprocessed “edible substances.”
