Functional Medicine: Treating the Root Cause
Functional medicine is about addressing the root causes of health issues, not just masking symptoms. Jena works with you to understand your unique health profile, lifestyle, and underlying conditions, helping you develop a tailored plan to restore balance and improve your overall well-being.
Through a detailed assessment of your health history, lab work, and lifestyle habits, Jena helps identify imbalances or dysfunctions in your body systems that may contribute to chronic conditions. The goal is to support your body’s innate ability to heal by using a combination of diet, exercise, stress management, and natural supplements—along with medications when necessary.
Personalized Medication Management
Jena takes a compassionate, hands-on approach to medication management, ensuring that each patient receives the right treatment plan that suits their unique needs. Whether you’re managing a chronic illness, balancing hormone levels, or seeking guidance on medication adjustments, Jena will work closely with you to review and optimize your medication regimen for the best outcomes.
Her goal is to help you avoid unnecessary medications, minimize side effects, and make sure you feel confident in your treatment plan. Through careful monitoring and consistent follow-ups, she helps ensure that your medications are working effectively and safely.
Jena uses GeneSight testing which is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes a patient’s DNA to identify genetic variations that may affect their response to certain medications, particularly those used to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD
