How Our Process Works

Based on your specific medical complaint, a personalized plan will be developed to address your health concerns.


We focus on your 5 pillars of health

Nutrition

It is incredibly important to remember that everything you eat serves as fuel for your body in order for it to operate properly. We understand that many times food can be used as medicine. However, the wrong foods may lead to inflammation and disease.

Our programs are designed to help you make proper food choices and teach you how to create and maintain a healthier you.

Fitness

Implementing a regimen of exercise is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your body.  

At The Center for Functional Health and Wellness we host online exercise classes to teach you exercises that are specifically chosen to promote weight loss and detoxification. Regular exercise enhances mental health and promotes the release of endorphins, which are responsible for feelings of happiness.

Hormone Balance

Maintaining the proper hormonal balance is critical for the health and wellness of your body. With improper hormonal balance, your body can experience a number of symptoms and can cause damage to your body. At The Center For Functional Health and Wellness one of our first steps is to test for hormonal imbalances.

Detox

​Detoxing your body means ridding yourself from toxic items and chemicals that you put in your body. In essence, you are cleaning out the current toxins in your body to give it a fresh start. At The Center for Functional Health and Wellness we can design a program that is right for your specific needs to reduce your toxic burden. 

Education

At The Center for Functional Health and Wellness, we offer an online health education curriculum. We understand that proper health education is the key to your long term success.

Understanding how your lifestyle may be impacting your health is the first step to long term health and wellness.
