Grounded in functional medicine principles, they focus on identifying imbalances within the body’s biological systems. Acting as detectives, educators, coaches, and partners, AFMPs address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—to foster healing and long-term wellness.
What ?
AFMPs assess physical, mental, emotional, nutritional, genetic, and environmental factors that contribute to health conditions. They emphasize: Nutrition: Identifying deficiencies, food sensitivities, and dietary patterns. Mental and Emotional Health: Addressing stress, anxiety, and trauma using mindfulness, meditation, and other therapies. Body System Imbalances: Detecting gut issues, immune dysfunction, toxin exposure, and more through detailed histories and assessments.

Committed to continuous learning, AFMPs stay updated on the latest research and therapies, ensuring the most effective, innovative care for complex health challenges.
