Why Functional Medicine?
The Functional Medicine model of care starts with your story; it connects your story and your symptoms to determine which body systems are out of balance and compromising your health. Much like restoration work, health begins by building a solid foundation.
​
When we don't feel well it is an indicator that something is out of balance, disconnected, or in need of repair. In order to appropriately address the root cause of your health concerns and health risk, we look for areas of imbalance within your body, mind, and spirit, as well as your environment.
​
Functional Medicine care is aimed at identifying where imbalance and disconnection exists in your body, your self, and your life. A personalized health plan is created to guide you towards restoring balance and connection where it is needed, so you can feel well, live fully and be free.

A Deeper Dive Into Your Health
Conventional healthcare is often fragmented, over-burdened and rushed, focusing on symptom and disease management with prescription medications being the primary treatment modality. Using a "one size fits all" approach, conventional medicine is costly and often fails to address the root cause of symptoms and disease.
​
Functional medicine prioritizes your unique health goals and history providing a personalized, evidence based, root cause approach to your symptoms and chronic health conditions.
​
At The Deeper Well we provide a deep dive into your health and what is causing you to not feel well. Based on our comprehensive approach and clinical expertise, we determine why you don't feel well and explain the "why" to you; because making change is not easy and making change without understanding the "why" is virtually impossible.
Our goal is to guide, encourage and support you in making the necessary changes so you can feel better and be healthier.
Functional Medicine is Rooted In Connection
Connection with Your Body
To function optimally your body requires alignment and connection to body systems. Oftentimes conventional medicine looks at one body system individually to treat a symptom. Functional Medicine recognizes that systems don't operate in a silo; true healing requires an understanding of how the systems, physiologic processes, cellular functions and genetic factors intertwine and impact with each other.
Connection with Your Environment
External factors play a huge role in our overall health. Looking outside of the body Functional Medicine seeks to understand how your work, home environment, school, pets, relationships, stress levels, nutrition, food sources, soil and air quality, access to nature and more impact your day to day quality of life and health.
Connection with Others
Taking into account your family, friends, caregivers, coworkers, societal expectations and experiences, attitudes and beliefs is an important element in your healing journey. Those we interact with currently, and in the past, help shape our mental and physical state.
Connection with Your Whole Self
Functional Medicine starts with your story; more than a 15 minute symptom run through, a functional medicine assessment looks at your personal history and story to identify how your past and present have come together to influence your current state, mind, body and spirit.
