Let’s face it. The modern medical system often falls short when it comes to chronic conditions.

When it comes to complex and chronic conditions, it’s time to make a shift!

Key Aspects Of Functional Medicine

Caring for your health properly is so much more than just the basics of eating right and exercising. Extensive medical research reveals a complex interplay between organs, tissues, glands and even beneficial bacteria in the body. Yet, the conventional standard of care hasn’t caught up with current science. Most doctors still treat patients from the perspective that each body part and system is completely separate.  They overlook the fact that all these areas greatly impact each other.

Functional Medicine is all about restoring the proper functioning of each interconnected system of the body. 

Imagine your body as a sophisticated orchestra playing in perfect harmony for optimal health.  When your body is in sync, it’s like a symphony playing a melody of vibrant health. Each organ and system has a vital role to play. When one instrument goes rogue, the discord creates chronic conditions. Your body needs a tune up that goes beyond fixing an isolated problem. It’s important to find the underlying imbalance and fine tune your entire body because everything is connected. That’s where we come in. We navigate the complexities, locate imbalances and provide answers.

Sadly, most patients in conventional care receive medications to treat symptoms associated with a body part that “isn’t working” – when all too often, it’s a systemic issue that needs to be treated in a completely different way.

At the Institute for Restorative Health, we understand the frustration of being treated like just another diagnosis code.  We find that while our patients may share similar symptoms, they frequently suffer from very different imbalances! We recognize each person has unique health needs shaped by genetics, environmental factors, gut bacteria, and life experiences. This individuality calls for a personalized healing protocol.

That’s why we examine every aspect of your well-being. We delve deep into the root causes of your chronic conditions, leaving no stone unturned. We explore the impact of your lifestyle choices – your diet, environment, emotional health, and mindset – because we know they are integral to your overall wellness.

It’s no wonder people go from doctor to doctor without finding answers or relief! At the Institute for Restorative Health, we’re not just another stop on your doctor hopping journey. We want to become your trusted partners – a beacon of hope in a sea of medical confusion. Let’s rebalance your body, unleash it’s natural healing power and help you conquer chronic conditions once and for all.

Our team of experts have each honed their skills for over 20 years through extensive education, rigorous research and personal experience. We don’t believe in quick fixes or superficial solutions. We believe in empowering you with knowledge, equipping you with tools and supporting you every step of the way on a transformative journey of healing.

At the Institute For Restorative Health, our functional medicine programs (along with health coaching) help patients learn lifelong skills on how to upgrade their lifestyle – so they don’t remain stuck on the “chronic illness hamster wheel”.

We believe in treating the whole person, understanding that true healing goes beyond just addressing symptoms. Our team of experts focuses on optimizing cellular health, recognizing that healthy cells are the foundation of a thriving body. Hormone balance is another essential aspect we explore, as hormonal imbalances can impact various bodily functions and overall well-being. Gut dysbiosis, an imbalance in gut bacteria, is often overlooked in conventional medicine. However, it plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Our approach involves evaluating and rebalancing the gut microbiome to optimize gut health and support overall wellness.

Emotional well-being and mindset are fundamental pillars of our healing philosophy. We recognize the profound connection between the mind and body, and we aim to support emotional resilience and mental clarity. By fostering a positive mindset and addressing emotional imbalances, we help our clients overcome mental obstacles and experience holistic healing.

Here are just some of the things we focus on in our program:

• We prioritize quality over quantity with our patients. We listen carefully to a patient’s story, review advanced lab and heart rate variability testing and examine lifestyle factors that contribute to illnesses. Then we create a personalized healing protocol based on each patient’s unique situation.
• Assessment, natural healing, and prevention are prioritized over wait-and-see treatment approaches.
• The most modern and advanced medical equipment available is used along with natural forms of healing that are non-invasive and don’t create harmful side effects.
• Patients are taught how to take a more active role in their own health and will learn up-to-date nutritional science and lifestyle modifications that can boost their health and overall wellness for a lifetime.
• Instead of relying on being prescribed medications again and again for temporary relief, the functional medicine team at Institute For Restorative Health tackles problems holistically and equips patients with the modern tools for healthy living.
