Functional Medicine is a new approach to addressing complex medical problems. It is often described as ‘root cause medicine’ – as it searches for your unique reason for your symptoms, whatever they may be.

 Functional Medicine is patient-oriented, taking into account the unique biochemical individuality of every patient. Utilizing cutting edge diagnostic tests, Functional Medicine finds the underlying cause of disease and address these problems with a holistic plan to prevent or reverse chronic disease.

Using a variety of treatment modalities, using food as medicine along with state of the art testing and evidence based protocols.

Focusing holistically on all the areas that impact your health… including sleep, emotional health, stress and exercise.

Focusing on optimal health, based on your unique biological needs, not just the absence of symptoms or disease.

Teaching patients how to take an active role in health creation, so that they can heal and/or keep chronic illness at bay. Our goal is to teach you how to take care of you – so you don’t need us!

Acknowledging the multi-factorial nature of complex causes of illness, the body’s many systems do not work in isolation of each other. Dr Lechner’s training in functional medicine gives her the ability to connect how the different systems are interacting, and restore balance.

Using natural, non-toxic therapies, as much as possible, harnessing the body’s amazing ability to heal itself.
