Functional Medicine

At our practices in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, and Kennesaw, Georgia, we offer three specialized areas designed to transform your health from the inside out. To learn more or schedule an appointment, please call (770) 800-3353.

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. Unlike traditional medicine, which often targets symptoms, Functional Medicine looks at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health. By viewing the body as an interconnected system, our experts at PrimeHealthMD tailor personalized treatment plans to support your body’s natural healing processes.

Our approach involves a detailed assessment of your medical history, lifestyle, and unique physiological factors. This thorough evaluation allows us to pinpoint the areas in your body that need attention—from gut health to hormonal balance and stress management. The result is a comprehensive plan that not only alleviates symptoms but also enhances your overall quality of life.

Functional Medicine in Georgia

Gut Health: The Foundation of Wellness

The gut is often referred to as the “second brain” because of its significant impact on overall health. An imbalance in your gut microbiome can lead to a variety of health issues, including digestive problems, autoimmune conditions, and even mood disorders.

• Gut Microbiome & GI Mapping – We use advanced diagnostic tools to create a comprehensive picture of your gastrointestinal system. This GI mapping helps us understand how well your gut is functioning and identifies any imbalances in your microbiome.
• Food Allergy & Sensitivity Testing – Many individuals experience health issues due to food sensitivities or allergies. Our testing services are designed to uncover hidden food sensitivities that may be contributing to chronic inflammation, digestive discomfort, and other health problems.

By addressing gut health, we not only relieve digestive symptoms but also support overall immune function and mental well-being.

Stress Management/Treatment: Restoring Balance

Chronic stress is a silent disruptor of health, affecting everything from energy levels to immune function. In today’s fast-paced world, managing stress is critical for long-term wellness.

• Cortisol Testing – Cortisol, commonly known as the stress hormone, plays a pivotal role in your body’s response to stress. Our cortisol testing helps determine if your levels are imbalanced, which can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and other health issues.
• Adrenal Fatigue Treatment – When the adrenal glands become overworked from chronic stress, they may not produce the hormones you need to maintain balance. Our adrenal fatigue treatment protocols are designed to support and restore adrenal function, helping you regain energy and resilience.

By effectively managing stress, you can experience improved sleep, better digestion, and an overall boost in vitality.

Hormone Optimization

Hormones regulate nearly every function in your body, from metabolism to mood. When hormone levels are out of balance, it can lead to a range of issues including thyroid dysfunction, weight gain, and mood disorders.

• Thyroid Testing and Management – The thyroid gland plays a critical role in regulating metabolism. Our thyroid testing ensures that any dysfunction is identified early. If needed, we offer comprehensive thyroid management to help balance hormone levels and support metabolic health.
• Hormone Level Testing – Beyond the thyroid, we also assess other key hormones to ensure that your body is functioning optimally. By identifying any imbalances, our team can develop a personalized plan to restore harmony, whether through lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, or other therapeutic interventions.

Optimizing hormone levels is not just about addressing specific symptoms; it’s about creating a balanced internal environment where your body can thrive.
