Functional Medicine
Our primary goal is to optimize a patient’s health with natural modalities. Since every patient’s body is their own ecosystem, we do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” treatment, and we individualize each patient’s treatment protocol.
We function as specialists who embrace the philosophy of treating the patient as a whole – mind, body, and spirit. We practice personalized, precision medicine, and all of our protocols are catered to each patient’s individual needs. The doctor/patient relationship acts as a partnership on the journey to better, optimal health.
The First Step to Optimal Wellness
Our functional medicine consultations are the first step to a healthier and longer life. We strive to determine the root cause of every symptom and illness that you are presenting with. If you are suffering from illness and chronic disease, our thorough consultation and evaluation will allow Dr. Carchedi to determine the root cause of your symptoms adequately. Based on your unique genetic makeup and needs, we will develop an integrative treatment plan to get you on track to feeling better long-term. A functional medicine visit with us requires an in-depth appointment to learn about the entirety of your history and current lifestyle, so that we can develop an individualized protocol to optimize your health as a whole.
An Initial Functional Medicine Consultation Includes:
- Investigational 3-part medical history questionnaire provided by the Institute for Functional Medicine
- Through a 90-minute evaluation by Dr. Carchedi in which the patient’s health history, life events, genetics, environmental factors, nutrition, and lifestyle will be discussed
- Patients will complete a 7-Day Food Diary gathering food intake, sleep schedule, bowel schedule, and physical activity data to review at the follow-up appointment
- Review of existing labs (supplied by the patient)
- Lab work orders provided
- Development of an Individualized Integrative Treatment Plan custom to your needs
- Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling
- Holistic Supplement utilization
