Conditions
At Modern Med Consult, we understand that health is more than the absence of disease—it's about achieving optimal well-being and vitality. Many individuals turn to functional medicine when conventional approaches fail to resolve persistent symptoms or when they seek a more holistic, root-cause solution to chronic health concerns. Our practice is dedicated to uncovering the underlying factors that drive illness, using advanced diagnostics and personalized care to help you reclaim your health.
​
People most commonly seek functional medicine for a range of chronic and complex conditions. Digestive disorders are among the top reasons patients reach out, with issues like irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, leaky gut, and food intolerances causing daily discomfort, bloating, and unpredictable digestion. Functional medicine excels at identifying hidden triggers—such as food sensitivities, microbiome imbalances, and stress—that often underlie these symptoms, offering targeted strategies for lasting relief.
​
Autoimmune diseases are another frequent concern. Conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and celiac disease can cause fatigue, joint pain, rashes, and digestive problems. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, our approach investigates immune triggers, chronic inflammation, and environmental factors, aiming to restore balance and reduce flare-ups.
​
Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Graves’ disease, often present with fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, and mood swings. Functional medicine’s comprehensive hormone testing and individualized treatment plans help patients regain energy and metabolic balance. Hormonal imbalances—such as those seen in PCOS, menopause, low testosterone, and adrenal fatigue—are also addressed with a focus on restoring equilibrium through nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation.
​
Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia are complex conditions marked by persistent exhaustion, muscle pain, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. Our team looks beyond surface symptoms to uncover root causes like mitochondrial dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic infections, providing a roadmap to improved energy and quality of life.
​
Metabolic syndrome and diabetes are increasingly common, with symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and vision changes. Functional medicine’s emphasis on lifestyle modification, nutrition, and metabolic optimization helps patients manage blood sugar and reduce long-term risks. Cardiovascular disease—including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and atherosclerosis—benefits from our preventive, personalized strategies that address inflammation, stress, and dietary factors.
​
Mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia are often rooted in imbalances that go beyond neurotransmitters. We explore the roles of gut health, inflammation, and nutrient status in mental well-being, offering integrative solutions that support both mind and body. Cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and brain fog, is addressed through a combination of advanced testing, nutritional support, and lifestyle interventions to preserve memory and cognitive function.
​
Allergies and sensitivities—whether to foods, environmental triggers, or chemicals—can manifest as sneezing, rashes, digestive upset, and headaches. Our approach identifies and addresses these sensitivities, helping patients reduce exposure and alleviate symptoms. Skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne are also explored from the inside out, with a focus on gut health, inflammation, and immune balance.
​
Weight management issues, including obesity and unexplained weight changes, are tackled by investigating hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors. Asthma and respiratory disorders, chronic infections, and immune dysfunction are managed with a focus on reducing inflammation, supporting immune resilience, and identifying environmental contributors.
​
Arthritis and joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, are addressed through anti-inflammatory nutrition, targeted supplementation, and movement strategies to reduce pain and improve mobility. Headaches and migraines, sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea, and environmental toxin exposure are all explored with a root-cause mindset, ensuring that no contributing factor is overlooked.
​
Men’s and women’s health concerns—including PMS, endometriosis, menopause, low testosterone, and erectile dysfunction—are managed with personalized care that addresses hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle influences.
