Coming soon to the Cedarburg Medical Clinic- Functional Medicine with Dr. Darmody

What is Functional Medicine?

This new and exciting model of care is a holistic patient-centered approach to management of chronic issues. It seeks to find the answers to why you may be feeling ill or not at your best by going beyond the superficial and delving deeper into your nutrition, stress, potential toxins, allergens, genetics, and even microbiome. By looking for a root cause of your illness a customizable plan for health living can be created that works for you. Nutrition is key component  in the process and features prominently in your individual plan. This plan will also incorporate lifestyle and behavioral interventions, and the possible use of supplements or nutraceuticals. Functional Medicine is now offered throughout the United States including at the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, and even locally at major health care institutions.
