Welcome To
Healing Family Functional Medicine - North Carolina

Our Approach

Over the last two decades our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex, chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, and autoimmune conditions. The current medical system focuses on treatment after a diagnosis has been made and relies mainly on medications and/or surgery. On average, the amount of time a physician spends with a patient is 18 minutes. Typically, modern medicine does not consider the factors that contribute to the rise in complex chronic diseases such as:

· the unique genetic makeup and biochemical individuality of each person
· exposures to environmental toxins
· lifestyle and food choices
· stress
· the interrelationship of our body’s systems
· the interaction of our body, mind, spirit, and environment

Using functional medicine we will treat the whole person. We want to improve your health span, not just your life span.

· Instead of a traditional disease-centered medical practice, we focus on a patient centered approach, addressing problems as close to their root cause as possible and not just treating symptoms and managing diseases.
· We spend the time to learn your story and understand the unique genetic, physiologic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence long term health and chronic disease.
· We integrate the latest emerging research in “integrative/alternative” medicine with conventional western medicine to focus on wellness.
· We may recommend botanical medicines, pharmaceutical drugs, supplements, movement, food, detoxification programs, hormone balancing, and various stress management approaches to help the healing process.
· We build a relationship with you to create a unique treatment plan to improve your health and vitality.
