What is Functional Medicine & How Does It Work?

A Personalized Approach to Health & Wellness

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. Rather than just treating symptoms, functional medicine evaluates how genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors influence overall health.

At Dr. Chloe Skidmore’s practice, we use advanced diagnostic methods and holistic treatments to create customized health plans, helping patients achieve long-term wellness.

Functional medicine is particularly effective for those experiencing chronic conditions that conventional medicine struggles to treat effectively. By looking at the interconnectedness of bodily systems, functional medicine helps patients regain control over their health and achieve lasting well-being.

How Does Functional Medicine Work?

Functional medicine follows a structured, science-backed approach to health:

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with an in-depth consultation, reviewing medical history, lifestyle, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions to understand your unique health challenges.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

Cutting-edge lab tests analyze hormones, gut microbiome, nutrient levels, inflammation markers, and metabolic function. These insights help pinpoint imbalances and deficiencies that contribute to symptoms and chronic conditions.
