Functional Medicine

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a systems-biology approach that has a specific focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of certain illness, ailments, disease, chronic conditions or pain. Any one diagnosis from a primary care physician or specialist can stem from multiple underlying causes.

Functional Medicine dives deeper into these underlying root causes of physiological health conditions that may negatively impact day-to-day life. For example, there is often a link between physiological functionality and mental health; when one is examined and treated, it can improve the other.

When should I see a Functional Medicine provider?

Many will seek services and expertise from functional medicine providers when they haven’t found long-term solutions from their primary care providers. This is particularly true when it comes to hormonal imbalance.

Many primary care providers lack the in-depth knowledge of how hormone imbalance can be linked to physiological and mental conditions such as chronic fatigue, low libido, muscle & joint pain, and decrease in mood. When symptoms are treated without understanding the root of where they come from, patients often experience a return or increase in the symptoms.

A functional medicine provider has the ability to do specialized tests and evaluations to treat problems at the root in order to prevent an increase or return in symptoms.

Our Process

Order & Review Labs

Our functional medicine clinic runs a thorough lab panel that aligns with each individual patient's needs and concerns. Our patient care coordinators will accommodate blood work and the patient can expect to receive their lab results within 1-3 business days. Once the lab results are received, the patient will be scheduled with our medical practitioners over the phone to review lab results and provide a game plan on how best to treat underlying issues that will help and prevent hindering symptoms.

I went to my doctor recently with questions regarding hormone replacement and she spent about 5 minutes explaining my options. This was very frustrating, so I decided to schedule a complimentary consultation with Amazing Meds. They explained the process thoroughly, ordered my labs and scheduled another consultation. Brooke,was so helpful and took her time explaining all my labs and my options for BHRT. My prescription was placed and mailed to me very quickly.

Amazing Meds practitioners specialize in hormone optimization. Our providers take their time in the first consultation to listen deeply to your symptoms and determine if hormonal imbalance could be the root cause of everyday impairing symptoms that you describe.

What should I bring up in my first functional medicine appointment?

Our providers encourage patients to provide basic information such as name, age, gender, etc. and to describe exactly which symptoms are being experienced, how long the symptoms have been around, and any treatments or medications the patient is currently taking. This will give our providers an overview of each patient’s individual concerns, so that they can provide the best individualized treatment plan.
