While you may be accustomed to doing an annual exam with your medical doctor, an annual check-in with a functional medicine approach offers a different perspective.

While your medical doctor is screening for “red flags” the medical model can sometimes focus on ruling out illness and screening for clinical thresholds. Functional Medicine will focus on optimal wellness. Your doctor at Red Mountain will screen for vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, signs of clinical and subclinical imbalances, and gather clues about your wellness future. Health problems emerge over time. At Red Mountain, we are proactive and do not wait to reach clinical thresholds. If we can identify early indicators, we can also recommend changes in diet and lifestyle that may help change course and prevent a more serious issue in the future. We will talk to you about your trajectory and recommend a path designed not only to address current medical issues but to keep you healthy and proactively prevent health issues in the future.
