Our Approach to Functional Medicine
Traditional medicine often focuses on medications that temporarily ease symptoms. At Sanctuary Functional Medicine, we follow a different path.
Using a root-cause, whole-person approach, our team integrates:
-
Advanced diagnostic testing
-
Personalized treatment plans
-
Functional, integrative, and conventional medicine
-
Lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental health strategies
This allows us to identify what’s truly driving illness—and help your body heal from the inside out.
We specialize in conditions commonly overlooked or misunderstood in conventional care, including:
-
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
-
Mold Toxicity & Environmental Illness
-
Lyme Disease & Co-infections
-
Autoimmune Disorders
-
Chronic Fatigue & Post-Viral Syndromes
-
Gut Health Conditions (IBS, SIBO, Leaky Gut, Dysbiosis)
-

Our comprehensive, evidence-based approach helps patients regain energy, reduce inflammation, restore gut health, balance hormones, and reclaim their lives.
