Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is an individualized form of treatment and requires multiple consultations to maintain. If you are experiencing chronic conditions or ones similar to those listed below, you may benefit from functional medicine:

 

-Digestive Disorders

-Obesity

-Adrenal disorders

-Arthritis

-Asthma

-Autoimmune diseases

-Cancer prevention

-Allergies (environmental and food)

-Women’s health disorders (PMS, menopause, PCOS)

-Thyroid disorders

-Cancer prevention

 

One of the main pillars of functional medicine is understanding you, the patient. There are many potential triggers of illness, such as:

 

-Poor nutrition

-Stress

-Toxins

-Allergens

-Genetics

-Microbiome (Your body’s natural bacteria)

 

As we age, these triggers can cause painful chronic diseases and symptoms. Instead of addressing the symptoms with only medication, functional medicine works to prevent the symptoms from getting worse and possibly even eradicate them.

 

This type of holistic treatment means you and Dr. Lim will discuss your medical history in depth to determine the root cause of your symptoms. After the first consultation, Dr. Lim will decide what lab tests to order and the results will be discussed in the next consultation.

 

Dr. Lim is a fellow with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and has extensive experience in helping patients combat chronic diseases and symptoms that come with age.
