Functional Medicine in Boca Raton

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine uses advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans to uncover underlying imbalances in hormones, gut health, nutrition, metabolism, and lifestyle. This holistic approach allows us to address issues such as fatigue, weight gain, digestive problems, brain fog, hormone imbalances, thyroid conditions, and more.

Our Functional Medicine programs may include hormone testing, nutrition counseling, IV therapy, lifestyle modifications, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help your body heal naturally. By focusing on prevention and long-term wellness, Functional Medicine empowers you to feel better, age healthier, and take control of your health.

Weight Loss

Our Functional Medicine weight loss programs go beyond diets and quick fixes. We use advanced testing to identify the root causes of stubborn weight gain, such as hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and stress-related cortisol spikes. By restoring balance through personalized plans, we help patients improve metabolism, burn fat more efficiently, and maintain long-term results.

Hormone Balancing

Hormonal imbalances can cause fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, low libido, and disrupted sleep. Through Functional Medicine hormone testing, we evaluate estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal function to uncover hidden issues. Our tailored treatment plans may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplementation to restore balance and improve overall well-being.

Gut Health

Digestive health plays a critical role in your overall wellness. Issues like bloating, IBS, food sensitivities, and chronic fatigue often start in the gut. Our Functional Medicine gut health programs use advanced testing to detect imbalances in the microbiome, inflammation, and nutrient absorption. By creating a personalized plan with dietary guidance, supplements, and IV nutrient therapy, we help heal the gut, reduce inflammation, and restore proper digestion—leading to improved energy, weight control, and immune health.

Anti-Aging & Longevity

Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down. We use Functional Medicine anti-aging treatments to help you look and feel your best at any age. By addressing underlying issues such as oxidative stress, hormone decline, and nutrient depletion, we design holistic plans that include hormone optimization, IV therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle support. The result? More energy, sharper focus, improved skin health, and a healthier, longer life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Functional Medicine

How is Functional Medicine different from traditional medicine?

Unlike traditional medicine, which often relies on prescription drugs to manage symptoms, Functional Medicine looks deeper into the body’s systems—such as hormones, gut health, nutrition, and metabolism—to uncover imbalances. Treatment plans are customized and may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHR), nutrition guidance, IV therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

Who is a good candidate for Functional Medicine?

Anyone experiencing chronic fatigue, weight struggles, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, brain fog, or simply wanting to improve long-term health is a great candidate. Functional Medicine is also ideal for patients seeking natural, preventive, and personalized care.

Does insurance cover Functional Medicine?

Most Functional Medicine treatments are not fully covered by insurance, as they are considered specialized wellness services. However, some Labs & testing may be covered. Many patients view Functional Medicine as an investment in their long-term health, often reducing the need for future medical care.
