Functional Medicine in Rancho Bernardo
Your body is an interconnected system where symptoms often mask deeper imbalances. Our functional medicine approach at Elements of Health goes beyond conventional care to uncover the root causes of illness and guide you toward optimal wellness.
A Science-Based, Personalized Approach
Unlike traditional medicine, which focuses primarily on symptoms, functional medicine takes a comprehensive view of your health. We examine your personal history, genetics, diet, environment, and lifestyle factors to understand the complete picture of your well-being.
This investigative approach helps us identify why illness develops and creates individualized treatment plans that address underlying dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms. Our goal is to restore balance to your body’s interconnected systems and support your natural healing ability.
Comprehensive Tools for Healing
Food serves as powerful medicine in our treatment protocols. We use elimination diets, therapeutic nutrition plans, and targeted supplements to address deficiencies and support healing. Mind-body approaches including stress management, movement therapy, and mindfulness practices help address the emotional and behavioral components of health.

- Autoimmunity, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances, including estrogen dominance and perimenopause
