Functional Medicine
Root Cause Healing
Symptoms arise when the body is trying to fix a problem. Functional Medicine listens to the symptoms & works to figure out why they are there, not silence them. Our symptoms carry intelligence!
About Us
Discover Functional Medicine
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms. Functional medicine focuses on individual assessments and needs and partnering with each individual to get them on track to feeling like their best self.
We live in a world full of toxins and not everyone responds the same to exposures. We all have a "bucket" that can overflow with toxins, often called "toxin overload", where symptoms and illness begin. Our role at From The Ground Up Health & Wellness is to help guide clients in figuring out what toxins have filled the bucket. Once identified, we develop a plan to remove them, and in return, lessen the symptoms and illnesses.

A Few Examples of What We Can Treat
Based off a thorough assessment and history, suspicions of what imbalances are happening within the body are made. Further labs and testing may be recommended to determine the best plan of care.
Digestive Disorders
There are many types of digestive complaints and disorders people deal with on a daily basis. We make a plan to figure out what the root cause is and optimize the gut.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormone imbalances are when the body produces too much or little of certain hormones which can affect the rest of the body. We make a plan to optimize hormones.
Stress and Anxiety
Stress and anxiety are common symptoms people experience. Often times this is a symptom of other imbalances in the body that we can work to correct.
What To Expect
All new clients start with a comprehensive lab panel and intake form that we go over in a 1.5-hour long consultation. This allows us to get to know you, take a thorough history, and ensure no pieces of the puzzle are missing. Please have your labs drawn and the intake documents filled out before your appointment to be able to make the most of our time together.
