Functional Medicine Scottsdale: Personalized Consultations for Optimal Health
Many of us believe that we are as healthy as we can be. We often assume that aches, pains, heart disease, vision trouble, cancer and memory problems are unavoidable consequences of aging. Furthermore, if you’ve expressed your concerns to your medical professional, you likely feel like no one is listening, prescriptions are being thrown at your symptoms and no one is searching for the root cause of your ailment.
Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Functional Medicine in Scottsdale, with LifeScape Premier, may be exactly what you're looking for to finally experience true health.
Functional & Integrative Medicine: A Whole-Body Approach to Family Health in Scottsdale
At LifeScape, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. That's why we practice both functional and integrative medicine, offering a comprehensive and personalized approach to family health right here in Scottsdale.
Functional Medicine: Uncovering the Root Cause
Functional medicine (also referred to as Lifestyle medicine) is a science-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of illness, rather than simply masking symptoms. We delve deep into your unique history, lifestyle, and genetic predispositions to understand the complex interactions that contribute to your health concerns. This might involve advanced testing to assess everything from gut health and hormone balance to environmental toxins and nutritional deficiencies.
By understanding the "why" behind your health issues, we can create a targeted plan to restore balance and optimize your well-being.
Integrative Medicine: A Collaborative & Holistic Approach
Integrative medicine takes a broader perspective, combining the best of conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, recognizing that true health encompasses more than just the absence of disease. We work collaboratively with you, incorporating lifestyle changes, nutrition counseling, stress management techniques, and other modalities alongside conventional treatments when appropriate.
The goal is to empower you to take an active role in your health and create a personalized plan that supports your overall well-being.
What do functional, integrative consultations include?
Our functional medicine consultations are offered at our state-of-the-art Scottsdale facility. They are a one-time, high-level comprehensive evaluation, with a single follow-up visit to review results and devise a comprehensive therapeutic strategy.
Follow-on continuity care can be undertaken through LifeScape’s non-physician providers (who are well-versed in Functional Medicine), your own primary care provider, or many patients opt to join our exclusive concierge medicine practice in Scottsdale for continuity care with our physicians.
Consider a high level consultation if you or your loved ones (including children) suffer from a chronic or autoimmune condition, or feel you could benefit from a complete overhaul or second opinion.
