Functional Medicine

Welcome to a smarter, more effective approach to healthcare.

Discover the

Transformative Power of Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is revolutionizing the way we think about and treat chronic conditions by focusing on uncovering the root cause of your health issues, rather than just masking symptoms with medications.

Why Choose Functional Medicine?

  1. Root Cause Resolution: Traditional medicine often addresses symptoms without diving deeper into the underlying causes. Functional medicine takes a holistic approach, analyzing how your genetics, lifestyle, and environment interact to influence your health. This personalized approach ensures that the solutions we provide are tailored to your unique needs.

  2. Personalized Care: Every individual is different. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Through advanced diagnostic testing and in-depth consultations, we create a roadmap designed specifically for you to optimize your health.

  3. Prevention Focused: Functional medicine doesn’t just help you recover; it empowers you to prevent future health issues. By addressing imbalances and optimizing your body's natural functions, you build a foundation for long-term wellness.

  4. Comprehensive Approach: We consider your whole body, mind, and lifestyle. Whether it’s improving digestion, balancing hormones, or reducing inflammation, functional medicine connects the dots between symptoms to provide lasting relief.

What Sets Us Apart

We know that many people hesitate to try functional medicine because they’ve heard stories of being pressured into thousands of dollars in testing or being required to spend hundreds of dollars each month on supplements. That’s not how we operate.

​

  • Practical Testing: We prioritize only the tests that are truly necessary to uncover the root of your health issues, saving you time and money.

  • Sustainable Supplementation: While supplements can be helpful, our focus is on lifestyle and dietary changes that are effective and sustainable long-term. You won’t be expected to rely on expensive monthly regimens.

  • Accessible Care: Our approach ensures that functional medicine is within reach for individuals and families without unnecessary financial burdens.

THE COST-SAVING ADVANTAGE

Reduce Healthcare Expenses Over Time

Investing in functional medicine now can save you significant costs in the future. Here’s how:

​

  • Fewer Doctor Visits: By addressing the root cause of your condition, we reduce the need for repeated visits and temporary fixes.

  • Less Dependency on Medications: Many traditional treatments rely on lifelong prescriptions. Functional medicine seeks to minimize or eliminate your reliance on medication, lowering your monthly expenses.

  • Prevention Pays Off: Preventing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders through lifestyle changes and early intervention saves thousands in medical bills.

  • Better Quality of Life: Reduced sick days, increased productivity, and improved well-being are priceless.

Dr. Barnes currently prioritizes functional medicine availability for his active chiropractic patients. He does accept a limited number of non-chiropractic patients who are seeking concierge-level, highly personalized 1:1 care, including individualized testing and custom treatment plans.

​

Because he maintains a very intentional and high-touch approach, he is only able to take on a small number of these patients at any given time.

What Our Customers Say

Dr Barnes does a great job. I enjoy the time he takes with me to discuss my health and healing. Nice change from the standard medical profession that just wants to give you a pill and send you on your way. Thanks Dr Barnes

Laney Campbell

I'm just getting started but I am so excited for this journey of healing to start. I feel HEARD. For the first time in my life I feel that someone is listening to me and looking at me and the big picture of my health. Highly recommend!

Sarah K. Little

So grateful for Dr. Barnes help. After spending 6 weeks bedridden with extreme fatigue and dizziness and being told by local hospital and doctors that "there's nothing wrong" I knew I had to look outside traditional medicine. I found his approach to my healing easy to follow with rapid positive results and would highly recommend his services.
