What is Functional Medicine?
Our functional medicine model is an individualized, science-based approach that empowers patients to work together with Dr Yazbek to address the underlying causes of their dysregulated health and find the most efficient and appropriate ways of promoting optimal robustness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and then leverages that data to curate personalized treatment plans that lead to improved outcomes. Coupled with a complete functional neurological examination, this provides an unparalleled way of arriving at a truer, evidence-based differential diagnosis.
We love this eloquent systems biology approach which looks at the person as a whole, complex being and treats them as such. What we see in you as our patient is a kaleidoscope of scope with a plethora of opportunities to affect positive change.
It’s all about YOU and how we can generate the BEST version of you!
