Migraine
Migraines often have identifiable triggers that conventional care overlooks. We evaluate food sensitivities, hormones, magnesium, gut health, and environmental exposures.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Throbbing head pain, nausea, light and sound sensitivity, aura, and visual disturbances.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Food triggers (histamine, tyramine, gluten), magnesium deficiency, hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, and gut dysbiosis.
Functional Evaluation
Trigger patterns, nutrient levels (magnesium, B2, CoQ10), hormone panels, food sensitivity testing, and inflammatory markers.
Treatment Approach
Magnesium and riboflavin supplementation, elimination diet, hormone balancing, gut-healing protocols, and conventional rescue medications when needed.
When It Is Urgent
Seek emergency care for the worst headache of your life, sudden onset, neurological deficits, or fever with stiff neck.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is functional medicine different from conventional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for root causes using advanced testing and personalized protocols that address gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, and lifestyle factors.
What kind of testing does functional medicine use?
Common tests include comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity panels, organic acids testing, micronutrient panels, hormone profiles, and advanced inflammatory markers.
How long does a functional medicine plan take to work?
Most patients notice improvements within four to twelve weeks. Complex or long-standing conditions may take several months of targeted support.
Does insurance cover functional medicine testing?
Some labs are covered by insurance. We review options beforehand so there are no surprises.
Can I do functional medicine alongside my current treatment?
