Functional Medicine for Women’s Health- Diet & Lifestyle Medicine
Functional medicine is a science-based, evidence-based medical practice that incorporates both conventional and an integrative, holistic approach that looks at the whole person. While precision medicine protocols may be used, like lab work, medications as needed, diagnoses, etc, what sets functional medicine apart is our determination to find the root cause of your illness.
Functional medicine doesn’t just cover up the symptoms. Michele likes to use the analogy of an iceberg, where the peak represents the visible symptoms, and the part underneath the water is what’s causing the symptoms. That’s where functional medicine places its emphasis.
It All Starts With Food
Food is medicine — and in midlife, it’s one of the most powerful levers we have. You’d be surprised how much of what you’re feeling traces back to what’s on your plate. Inflammation, blood sugar swings, hormonal shifts — diet is almost always part of the story. And as your body changes through perimenopause and menopause, foods that used to feel fine can start working against you, showing up as bloating, brain fog, weight changes, and mood shifts you can’t quite explain. We take a close look at what you’re eating and how your body is responding to it — not to restrict you, but to find your personal triggers and build a nutrition foundation that actually works for your body at this stage of life.
