Frequently Asked Questions

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.

What is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine is a cutting-edge field focused on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues and organs by harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities. It involves techniques like stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, and gene therapy to restore function and promote long-term recovery. This approach is used to treat chronic diseases, injuries, and degenerative conditions, offering solutions beyond traditional symptom management.

How is Functional and Regenerative Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?

Functional medicine takes a personalized, root-cause approach to health. Rather than simply masking symptoms, it looks beneath the surface to uncover imbalances in areas like digestion, hormones, inflammation, and lifestyle. By addressing the "why" behind your health concerns, functional medicine supports whole-body healing through targeted nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and mind-body integration.

Regenerative medicine focuses on restoring the body’s natural ability to heal and repair at the cellular level. Using advanced therapies like peptides, ozone, PRP, and IV nutrient support, this approach helps repair tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote longevity. It’s designed to rejuvenate your body from the inside out supporting energy, performance, and resilience over time.

Conventional medicine is primarily symptom-focused, using medications or surgeries to manage disease. It often relies on standardized protocols to provide quick relief, especially in urgent or acute care situations. While effective for short-term symptom control, it may not explore or resolve the root causes of chronic or complex conditions.

What Conditions Can Functional and Regenerative Medicine Address?

Functional and regenerative medicine address chronic conditions by targeting the root causes of illness and activating the body’s natural ability to heal. These integrative approaches go beyond symptom management to support deep, lasting wellness through personalized care and cellular regeneration.

They are commonly used to treat a wide range of issues to include:

Chronic Pain & Inflammation such as joint pain, arthritis, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, and injury recovery.

Autoimmune Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other inflammatory disorders.

Digestive & Gut Health such as IBS, food sensitivities, and microbiome disruptions.

Metabolic & Energy Challenges such as fatigue, adrenal dysfunction, and stubborn weight concerns.

Hormonal Imbalances such as thyroid disorders, menopause symptoms, and testosterone deficiency.

Anti-Aging & Regenerative Goals to support cognitive clarity, skin renewal, and tissue repair.

What Treatment Modalities Does Regenerative Medicine Use?

Regenerative medicine uses advanced therapies to repair and restore damaged tissues by harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities. Detoxification, herbalism and natural remedies may be used to balance systems and reduce inflammation. Tissue regeneration therapies to include peptides, ozone therapy to support cellular repair, and other various techniques may also be used.

These techniques aim to restore function, reduce pain, and improve long-term health.

How Long Does It Take to See Results with Functional & Regenerative Medicine?

The timeline for results in functional and regenerative medicine varies based on the condition being treated, the treatment approach, and individual factors like age and overall health.

Functional Medicine: Improvements in energy, digestion, and inflammation may be noticeable within weeks. Chronic conditions often require months of consistent lifestyle changes, nutrition, and supplementation. Long-term benefits develop over time as the body restores balance.

Regenerative Medicine: Healing depends on the severity of the condition and adherence to post-treatment care. Both approaches focus on long-term healing rather than quick fixes.
