Functional Medicine Labs

Functional Medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. When we first meet with your family during our first consultation, we will get a great idea of what, if any, labs need to be run.

Herbal Medicine and Nutraceuticals

Herbal Medicine is a medical system of using plants, minerals, and mushrooms. Herbal Medicine has been used in many cultures for thousands of years to improve upon a wide variety of health concerns and assist in bodily functions. Herbal remedies are taken in the form of liquid extracts, capsules, tablets, and teas. There are many medical research studies available showing the effectiveness of Herbal Medicine for a wide range of disorders.

Nutraceutical Supplementation is the use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other co-factors to assist the body's natural functions and bring the body back to homeostasis. Often we get great insight into what Nutraceuticals may assist your child through the Functional Medicine lab work. At FFWI we use only the highest quality Nutraceuticals available.

Food Therapy

Food is the body's fuel. What you eat can play a major role in your physical, mental, and emotional health. Many times food by itself can improve many different ailments. We will put together a customized food plan just for you. Every individual is at a different place in their health. What may be great for one person to eat might not be as healthy for someone else. We can assist you in choosing the right foods for you!
