Functional Medicine
A healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapies.
Functional Medicine is an integrative, science-based approach to health. The focus is on detecting and addressing the root cause of your symptoms. In this method of practice, we combine the best of modern and traditional medicine, emphasizing the important role of diet and lifestyle in overall well-being. This is true restorative medicine that promotes optimal function, repair and ultimately improved quality of life. We aim to address imbalances and metabolic dysfunction upstream (before it meets the criteria for a diagnosis), leading to corrective and more profound results and long term improvement of your health. This approach is patient-centered rather than disease-centered. We envision the body holistically as a collection of complex interconnected functional systems in a dynamic relationship with its environment.

This revolutionary technique has changed the way I look at a face, and changed the way I use dermal fillers. There simply is no turning back.
The amount of confidence and energy I have now is something I’d never experienced before.
After finishing my treatment plan, I feel like a new person. I can’t thank Dr. Stella and her team enough!
