Functional Medicine &
A new path to empowered health
Our doctors take a comprehensive and proactive approach to your health issues, using advanced diagnostics to seek out the root cause of your health concerns.

Improve your quality of life
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
You might feel run down and tired. You may face sporadic bouts of illness. Or you may even have long-term, undiagnosed symptoms.
Instead of temporarily masking your symptoms. Functional Medicine gets to the root cause of what is causing your complaints and works to restore your health from the ground up. Using a new model of diagnostics, Functional Medicine sees you as a whole person, with dynamic interacting systems. Rather than just simply making you feel better, we seek to create balance and harmony within your entire body and restore function where it has been lost.
You’ve been to several doctors with no idea of what’s going on - or you’ve been misdiagnosed
Millions of Americans are misdiagnosed every year, which can be a result of a “symptom first, medicine second” approach. Patients often come to us after fruitlessly searching for answers to their health concerns. Functional Medicine delves deeper into the patient-first model. Your practitioner will spend extensive time with you by taking a detailed health history, providing a physical examination, and offering appropriate and customized laboratory testing.
Your body and the pathways towards both illness recovery and optimal health are unique to you. We take the time to understand every piece of your personal puzzle and offer a treatment plan tailored to your biological blueprint.
You’ve been diagnosed and want to incorporate a natural approach to your treatment plans
If you’ve been battling a chronic condition or illness and are seeking to reduce your dependency on medications, or you would like to incorporate additional support for your current treatment plan, Functional Medicine can complement your health goals naturally. We customize your journey through the science of vitamins, nutrients, and nutraceuticals that your body needs to heal and thrive.
You want to optimize your health
You may already be living what you consider a fairly healthy lifestyle. You may want the most accurate and fundamental picture of your health. Functional Medicine teaches you how to listen to your body and utilizes the most advance diagnostics to unlock the details you need to thrive and function at your very best.
As a result, Functional Medicine helps your body build its healthiest foundation that will improve your quality of life and better keep illness away for years to come!

Frequently Asked Questions
What health insurance do you accept?
We accept all major health insurance plans at Aligned Modern Health. For many of our services, we are in-network with specific providers, but can also provide you the documentation that you need if we are out of network. In addition, Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Care Reimbursement Accounts may be used for many of our services as well. If you have questions about your insurance coverage, our team will verify your benefits and explain them to you before treatment, at no charge.
What are my options if I don't have insurance coverage?
If you do not have insurance coverage, you can pay directly for the care you need. We offer wellness packages, priced to be cost effective and affordable. You can also pay for services using Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Savings Accounts .(HSA), and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA).

Why is Functional Medicine different?
Functional Medicine is a shift in how we approach health concerns, illness, and disease. We get to the root cause of your health concerns using science-based medicine to find and treat underlying imbalances. Instead of looking for ways to mask your symptoms, our goal is to restore optimal function throughout your body.
Functional Medicine practitioners typically spend more hands-on time working with a patient to address the entire body – and not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional Medicine provides non-invasive, drug-free solutions for both healthy lifestyle changes and cures for chronic health concerns.
