The short answer: everyone! This approach not only targets the root causes of health issues but also focuses on prevention and resilience, suitable for anyone looking to enhance their long-term wellness. Given the overwhelming amount of health information available, functional medicine helps clarify and prioritize what's truly beneficial for your health, making it an intentional choice for a healthier life.

No, "Unscripted" does not mean we avoid using pharmaceuticals altogether. While we cannot prescribe medications, we recognize that they are sometimes necessary and play a crucial role in managing certain health conditions. Our approach prioritizes exploring other options first, supporting your body systems to reduce or avoid the need for pharmaceuticals. We help you discuss the risks and benefits of such treatments and work to maintain balance when starting them, ensuring they are most effective with the fewest unintentional effects. We aim to address the root causes of health issues and support overall wellness by using a balanced array of treatments, including nutrition, lifestyle changes, and natural therapies. When pharmaceuticals are needed, we educate our patients about their effects and work to mitigate any potential nutrient deficiencies or other issues they might cause.
