Longevity and ‘Upstream’ Medicine
Functional Primary Care is a healthcare model that focuses on disease prevention and treating the ‘root causes’ before chronic illness begins. Functional medicine does not just offer a pill for a symptom, it views the body as an interconnected system, combining detailed patient history, genetics, environment, and lifestyle to build custom care plans. The practice of 'upstream' medicine, essentially, assisting the body to repair itself through the 5 pillars of health, enables us to stay vital and active as we age. Therapies that replace and replenish the substances our cells need to function optimally is the foundation of everything that we do. Sometimes called ‘longevity medicine’, this is a proactive approach to not only extending lifespan, but increasing the quality of life experience as we age.

If you have been experiencing the emotional and physiological changes of the menopausal transition, you might have heard about, or considering hormone replacement therapy. Or you might be experiencing symptoms that you haven’t even related to perimenopause, like shoulder pain, irritable bowel syndrome, recurrent urinary tract infections, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain in different areas of your body or lack of libido. Maybe you’ve read about the benefits or are considering it because you have heard the anti-aging potential and you want to feel and look your best as you get older. Whatever led you here, trust it, there are so many advances in medicine that can help you.
There is so much new science related to bio-identical hormone replacement therapies and hormone optimization. As we know, cellular health and mitochondrial support is the foundation to healthy aging—because hormones are the great communicators in our bodies, and help each cell to function optimally and full-fill its functions.
