What is Functional Medicine?

Most importantly, functional medicine focuses on root causes rather than masking symptoms.

We begin with your story-your routines, your stressors, your history, and your habits-and then decide what kind of care makes sense. We test only when results will guide your plan.

Darien is busy-early trains from Noroton Heights or Darien Station, errands along the Post Road, kids’ schedules, I-95 and Merritt traffic, and time at Weed Beach or Pear Tree Point. Your plan should support that rhythm, not fight it. We design practical steps you can keep on your busiest weeks.

How Your Functional Medicine Plan Comes Together

1) Getting to Know You

Your first in-depth consultation-approximately 60 minutes-is about your story. We review what you have tried thus far, your day-to-day routines, and key timeline moments-from major stress and sleep patterns to nutrition, movement, travel, and past illnesses, and spot connections.

2) Reflective Testing

These core labs are generally ordered to give us an overview, but depending on the results, more tests might be ordered. Some of these may be:

  • Heart and metabolic markers
  • Hormone and thyroid panels – timed, when appropriate
  • Key nutrients: iron, B12, vitamin D, magnesium
  • Gut testing when digestive issues are part of the picture
  • Environmental screens only when your history points in that direction

3) Foundational Habits

We focus on the basics that count the most: eating well without overthinking, sleeping better, simple stress resets you’ll actually use, and movement that builds energy instead of draining it.

4) Targeted Interventions

As needed, we add on targeted support: gastrointestinal repair strategies, hormonal support with monitoring, metabolic coaching, and recovery practices tailored to your lifestyle so that treatment supports life, not vice versa.

5) Ongoing Review

You will never be in the dark about what’s next. We monitor symptoms, laboratory results, and functional markers, adjusting your plan as your health improves.
