Naturopathic & Functional Medicine.
At In Health, we practice naturopathic medicine as a science-based, functional approach to healthcare that blends modern medical knowledge with evidence-informed natural therapies. Our goal is to address the root cause of illness while supporting the body’s innate ability to heal, using a combination of conventional diagnostics and targeted natural interventions.
Bridging science and nature for smarter health.
The Best of Both Worlds.
What is Naturopathic and Functional Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct form of healthcare that focuses on treating the whole person, identifying the root causes of illness, and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. It integrates conventional standards of medical care with evidence-informed natural therapies to promote long-term wellness. Guided by six core principles—including the healing power of nature, addressing the root cause, and prevention-focused care—naturopathic medicine emphasizes a comprehensive, patient-centered approach.
Functional medicine complements this approach by using a science-based, systems-oriented model to understand how genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors contribute to health. It employs advanced diagnostics, in-depth health history analysis, and personalized treatment strategies such as nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and targeted natural or pharmaceutical interventions to restore balance and optimize well-being.
Together, naturopathic and functional medicine offer a holistic yet evidence-based approach, blending modern medical standards with natural therapies. Our goal is to provide individualized care that not only alleviates symptoms but also addresses the underlying factors affecting your health.
