The path to great health starts with a functional medicine approach
Unfortunately, the conventional healthcare system isn’t designed around the needs of individual patients. It is symptom-focused, urgent-care-minded, and linear. If you have this symptom or that disease, you receive this treatment or that protocol.
Many of our patients have unsuccessfully gone through the standard medical system before they’ve found us. They’ve endured medications that were the “standard of care” for their condition – but that didn’t actually solve their health issues, let alone get to the root cause. As often as not, these medications created new health issues for our patients.
It’s very clear: The conventional medical approach doesn’t effectively prevent disease, nor does it use the proper strategy or tools to get to the root-cause of complex chronic conditions. And oftentimes the exact therapies used to treat the disease or symptoms have only complicated the case further and contributed to additional layers to resolve the root cause.
There is a better path to wellness. And we believe that path is functional medicine.
It’s a foundational approach to health and wellness, and the answer to gaining true ownership of your health, reversing chronic conditions, preventing disease, reaching and maintaining optimal health, and increasing your ability to live a longer and more fulfilling life.
Our foundations of functional medicine
Discovering the root
Through a more thorough process than most, your first few appointments are focused on identifying the root cause of your health issue(s), taking a journey through your life to understand all that contributed to your current state of health and wellness. There are no shortcuts with this process. That’s what makes it so successful in reversing chronic disease. We are looking for your unique path to greater health. And this involves treating your whole self. By understanding why your health issue is occurring, there is a clearer path towards how to heal.
Working together
We’re not just telling you what to do, like conventional medicine often does. Partnering with us is a more intimate and collaborative process. There’s more ongoing engagement, longer appointments to answer questions and address concerns, and a more supportive community and network to assist you and rely on. For you to gain true ownership of your health, we have to first make it possible for you to take control of your health and wellness. That can only be done by us working together.
Personalizing your care
It starts by understanding no two people are the same. There may be similarities and patterns, but the sum of the parts, their whole self, is 100% unique to them. So why would any other practice do the exact same thing for the continuum of one’s health journey – starting with discovery, to testing, interpretation, implementation, and management. It makes absolutely no sense! That’s why your care with us is truly individualized. Not just one part, everything.
Supporting you in your journey
Once you’ve moved onto implementing your personal treatment or true health optimization plan, we’re still 100% invested in helping you reach your goals, continuing to provide direction and guidance whenever needed, and adjusting your plan as your health changes. Plus you have access to the most-effective therapies, purest supplements, and more comprehensive lab analysis. Achieving great health is a continuum. It’s something we all constantly need to work on. So wherever you are in your journey, we’ll be here to support you along the way.
I started seeing Dr. Corey Priest for Functional Medicine under a year ago right after a devastating diagnosis of Chron’s Disease. If you’re unfamiliar, that’s an incurable autoimmune condition which conventional medicine treats by shutting down the immune system with powerful drugs that likely include very bad side effects and other risks… Not only did he run advanced tests to get to the root of the issue – something the other doctor didn’t believe was necessary much less have access too – he also convinced me of the appropriate diet change, and prescribe supplements that protected and repaired my GI tract. Dr. Corey Priest supported me anytime I had a question or concern about my progress and assured me we were close to finding a solution. After only 4 months of his treatment I was symptom free – from a diagnosis that’s supposed to be incurable. I almost couldn’t believe it.
