Functional Medicine for Metabolic Dysfunction

Functional medicine for metabolic dysfunction addresses the root causes of insulin resistance, inflammation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and weight gain. We take a personalized, whole-body approach to restore balance, improve energy, and support long-term metabolic health. Let us help you regain control of your health and feel your best from the inside out.

Approach to Metabolic Dysfunction

1. Advanced Functional Lab Testing

  • Assess insulin sensitivity, inflammation markers, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and mitochondrial function.

  • Go beyond standard labs to reveal root causes and early metabolic dysfunction.

2. Personalized Nutrition Therapy

  • Create customized meal plans that focus on stabilizing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and supporting detox pathways.

  • Emphasize whole foods, anti-inflammatory fats, fiber-rich carbs, and strategic intermittent fasting if appropriate.

3. Targeted Supplementation

  • Use professional-grade supplements to support insulin signaling, adrenal health, liver detoxification, and mitochondrial energy production.

  • Common tools: magnesium, omega-3s, berberine, inositol, adaptogens, and antioxidants like alpha-lipoic acid.

4. Infusion Therapy

  • Administer tailored IV nutrient therapies to improve cellular energy, combat oxidative stress, and restore metabolic balance.

  • Formulas may include B vitamins, vitamin C, glutathione, and NAD+.

5. Stress & Sleep Optimization

  • Address the impact of chronic stress and poor sleep on metabolic dysfunction with tools like breathwork, nervous system regulation, and functional herbs.

  • Encourage circadian alignment and healthy cortisol rhythms.

6. Movement & Mitochondrial Rehab

  • Guide patients through gentle but progressive movement strategies—like Pilates rehab and breath-led training—that improve insulin sensitivity without overloading stressed systems.

7. Gut & Liver Support

  • Heal the gut to reduce systemic inflammation and improve nutrient absorption.

  • Support liver detox pathways that are crucial in hormone and glucose regulation.

8. Mind-Body Integration

  • Educate and empower patients through a compassionate, holistic model that views healing as a whole-body process—not just a set of metrics to fix.

  • Address emotional drivers of overeating, burnout, or self-neglect.

Functional medicine looks deeper to uncover the root imbalances behind metabolic syndrome—like insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone dysfunction. By addressing these core issues with personalized care, we help you restore metabolic health, prevent chronic disease, and feel energized in your body again.
