The science behind functional medicine proposes that the body is a connected network. In short, problematic issues with one aspect of your body will have negative effects on your overall health. Ultimately, the body needs to exist in a dynamic balance. The goal of functional medicine is to treat chronic conditions that are resistant to standard models of care, including prescription drugs.

Treatment With a Nurse Practitioner

At Vitality Medical & Wellness Center, you will be treated by Cristy Thomas, DNP, FNP-BC, APRN, a board-certified nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners have many of same abilities as physicians, such as prescribing medication, treating illnesses, and administering physical exams; however, nurse practitioners also focus on prevention and wellness education. At Vitality, we promote making positive lifestyle choices to improve discomfort caused by chronic conditions.

Treating Chronic Conditions

Many Americans suffer from allergies as well as digestive, hormonal, metabolic, and neurological issues. Functional medicine seeks to find holistic or alternative treatments to provide you relief from your chronic illness. We utilize a combination of diet, hormone replacements, and IV therapy to improve your health and quality of life.

Genetically Tailored Treatments

Your genetics can have a significant impact on your overall health. At Vitality, we provide a variety of genetic testing to help determine the best course of treatment for your chronic illness. Instead of using medications, we attack the disease directly by using your genetic makeup to support the normal healing mechanisms of your body.
