Functional Medicine is

Personalized, modern medicine for peak health and wellness.

Functional medicine doctors spend more time with you. They take a detailed look at your medical history, lifestyle habits, and genetic factors to create a tailored treatment plan using a collaborative approach to healthcare.

The focus is on “root cause”. Unlike traditional medicine which often treats symptoms, functional medicine aims to identify and address the underlying causes of your health problems.

Gain a holistic approach. Functional medicine considers all aspects of your health, including diet, exercise, stress management, sleep, and environmental factors.

Explore Alternative options. Functional medicine doctors may incorporate alternative therapies like supplements, herbal remedies, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling alongside conventional treatments.

Manage chronic conditions. If you have a condition that has not responded well to traditional treatments, functional medicine likely offers new strategies to manage your condition.

You may gain valuable insights into your overall health and wellness if you:

  • Patients with unexplained symptoms or conditions like fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disorders, depression, or anxiety can greatly benefit. 

  • Individuals interested in preventative healthcare and optimizing their overall wellness. 

  • People looking for a more collaborative approach to healthcare with a focus on lifestyle modifications

Functional Medicine is waking up every morning feeling energetic, well-rested, with a clear mind, and pain free.

For Professionals:
Functional medicine evaluates the emergence and translation of genes in each patient via assessment of epigenetics, nutrigenomics, sociogenomics, environmental exposure, and the microbiome. This is evaluated through an evidence-based lens with a special focus on addressing more nuanced conditions. Dr. Towle's services are an adjunct - not a replacement for - primary care medicine.
