Functional Medicine Westport, CT | Terrain Health

Terrain Health’s functional medicine in Westport, CT, looks at how everything in your life connects: your sleep, nutrition, stress, hormones, and environment, to get to the root of what’s going on. The idea is simple: understand what’s really happening, make realistic changes, and build better long-term health.

We serve patients from Westport and nearby towns, including Norwalk, Fairfield, Weston, Wilton, and Easton. Virtual appointments may be available depending on your state and the type of service.

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine addresses the root causes of masking symptoms rather than treating them.

We concentrate on your history, your patterns of life, your habits, and your daily life before we determine what sort of care is appropriate. We test only when it will help guide your plan.

How Your Functional Medicine Plan Comes Together

1. Getting to Know You

Your initial detailed visit (60–90 minutes) is focused on your history of stories. We will discuss your history of health, what you’ve already tried, and your daily routines. We’ll chart significant points, from significant stress and sleeping patterns to eating habits, exercise, and travel, to explore patterns that relate everything together.

2. Thoughtful Testing

We start with a comprehensive set of labs to get a full picture of your health, then expand testing as needed based on what we learn. This may include:

  • Heart and metabolic health markers
  • Hormones and thyroid panels (timed as needed)
  • Major nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and magnesium
  • Gut testing when digestive issues are part of the picture
  • Mold or toxin screening if your history points in that direction

3. Foundational Habits

We focus on the basics and what matters most: eating well without the stress of not eating right, sleeping better, managing daily stress in realistic ways, and finding exercises that help you gain energy instead of depleting it.

4. Targeted Interventions

When it’s required, we’ll introduce concentrated support, from rebalancing your hormones and gut, to your metabolism’s recovery and balance support. Each fits seamlessly within your routine as it is, so your plan of treatment supports your life rather than hinders it.

5. Ongoing Review

You’ll always know where you stand. We monitor your symptoms, your lab results, and your overall course, and we modify your plan as your healthcare moves in the right direction.
