Functional medicine blends traditional medicine with what may be considered “integrative” or “alternative” medicine. This approach is often considered the future of traditional medicine due to its focus on prevention and its use of the latest advanced laboratory testing. Functional medicine uses a science-based approach to identify and address the root causes of disease. It is not a silver bullet or a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather views the entire body as one integrated system and aims to treat the whole person – not just their symptoms.

With functional medicine from Western Wisconsin Health, your provider will develop a unique plan for you with recommendations that may include:

  • Prescribed supplements/drugs
  • Therapeutic nutrition/diets
  • Detox programs
  • Stress management techniques
  • Hormone balancing
  • And more

Our dedicated and compassionate functional medicine practitioners take time to listen and analyze your history to determine how the unique interactions between your lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors will impact your long-term health. You are unique, and the approach to bringing your system back into balance is individualized to you. Because of this, your functional medicine prescription is very different from anyone else’s. The primary goal is always to restore optimal function to your physiology and to move you toward greater balance and wellness in all aspects of life.

Unlike other functional medicine providers that have a cash-only practice, we do accept insurance for office visits and traditional labs. There may be out-of-pocket expenses for advanced testing and/or supplements.

Because there has been a significant increase in the number of patients who suffer from complex, chronic diseases, much of today’s medicine is based more on “disease care” than “health care.” Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, and autoimmune disorders are some examples of conditions that can benefit from a functional medicine approach. The health of an individual is greatly influenced by their diet, level of exercise, ability to manage stress, exposure to toxins, and hormone levels. By turning our focus to prevention and lifestyle changes, illness can be reversed, despite factors like genetics or age that are often perceived as potential barriers.

Testing recommendations are unique to you and your history. There may be out-of-pocket expenses for advanced testing and/or supplements.

Functional medicine testing may include:

  • Advanced Cardiometabolic Panels
  • Specialized Hormone Testing for Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
  • Stool Testing for GI Imbalances
  • Extensive Thyroid Testing
  • Heavy Metal Testing
  • Genetic Testing
  • Nutrient Testing

While most functional medicine providers have a cash-only practice, we do accept insurance for office visits and traditional labs.

While any patient could benefit from a functional medicine approach to their health care, some patients may not be interested in this approach. Functional medicine providers work with patients who are ready for change and who are willing to make the commitment needed to follow through with the recommendations that are made.

Although remarkable improvement can occur with simple changes, individuals with complex illness will often find that the path to wellness takes time to ensure long-lasting changes. The secret to a patient’s success is the combination of their dedication and access to the right information, tools, and health care team. Patients who are motivated, engaged, and empowered are most likely to be successful in achieving optimal wellness.
