The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.
— Thomas Edison

Integrative Medicine and Functional Medicine features 

  • Whole person focus, not seeing the body as separate organ systems

  • Patient-centered - respectful of and responsive to the individual patient's preferences, needs and values

  • Incorporating different healing modalities that are evidence-based (e.g. nutrition, mind-body medicine, herbs, acupuncture, energetic therapies)

  • Functional medicine dives deeper into eight core root cause systems (e.g. nervous system, gut/assimilation, defense & repair/immune function, structural integrity, communication/hormones, transport/vessels, toxicity vs detoxification, and energy/mitochondrial functioning) - to evaluate, discover, and address imbalances and bring the whole body-person back into balance and an innate healing trajectory

Our bodies are capable of incredible healing. We just need to discover where are the imbalances, provide the necessary ingredients for correcting them, and allow the body to do its work in healing and becoming whole again.    -Nathalie Bera-Miller MD

 

At Pacific Integrative and Functional Medicine we use multiple modalities to assess and treat chronic conditions. 

Our practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease.
