At Evolve Acupuncture and Wellness we believe that Functional Medicine is the cornerstone of restoring good health.

Functional Medicine is an approach that focuses on preventing and reversing chronic disease by treating the root causes of illness with diet and lifestyle change.

Functional Medicine is individualized, personalized medicine. We all have unique genetic and environmental variations that set the stage for health or disease. Sleep, nutrition, relationships, stress, movement all matter because they are modifiable elements of our lifestyle that influence gene expression.

Functional Medicine is a proactive approach to achieve optimal wellness and prevent future diseases. The emphasis is on homeostasis and health – rather than disease and diagnosis. Functional Medicine addresses why. Why do people get a disease? Why are some people more susceptible than others? We attempt to understand what symptoms mean, rather than cover them up with medications.

Through the use of functional lab testing and other diagnostic techniques we are able to get to the root of our patients health concerns. We incorporate the use of nutritional supplements, botanicals, herbs, appropriate nutritional programs well as stress management protocols.

Our patients are active participants in the journey back to optimal health. Our goals are to prevent chronic disease and restore vitality, not just eliminate symptoms.

We are extremely excited to be one of the few practitioners working in this new medical paradigm. Unlike conventional medicine, it is a radical new way of thinking about health and disease. It is not just another treatment protocol, but a way of applying strategies based on the genetic makeup and lifestyle history of each patient as well as internal (mind, body, spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affect the body’s overall function.
