Functional Doctors
A Functional Doctor is a medical professional who has undergone specialized training in a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on identifying and addressing underlying causes of disease and illness. Functional doctors look at the body’s system as an entire entity in which every part of the body impacts the rest. They are a great alternative to the current sick-medication-stay on medication healthcare model established in the United States healthcare system by big pharmaceutical companies. Hence the nickname alternative medicine. Conventional doctors undergo extensive training to learn mechanisms of each illness and the pills to prescribe for each condition. Conventional doctors are not trained in root causes of illness/disease, nor are they trained in healing mechanisms.
Integrative Doctors
Integrative doctors earned their names by combining their training in regular medicine and functional medicine. They typically can work with insurance companies to order certain labs and sometimes can prescribe medications, but they understand training in both areas.

Chiropractors
Holistic Wellness Centers
A chiropractor is a practitioner who helps restore and support the body’s natural ability to heal by improving how the nervous system and musculoskeletal system communicate.
​
A functional-minded chiropractor looks at the whole person—posture, movement patterns, lifestyle, stress, nutrition, sleep, and past injuries—to understand why the body is out of balance.
​
Holistic wellness centers support the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
​
Health is seen as a balance between physical, emotional, mental, and environmental factors. These centers bring together multiple healing approaches under one roof, often blending conventional, functional, and alternative practices to address root causes instead of just managing problems.
NAET Practitioner
An NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) practitioner is a certified, holistic health professional—often a chiropractor, acupuncturist, or nutritionist—who uses a blend of applied kinesiology (muscle testing) and traditional Chinese medicine to identify and desensitize allergies. They aim to reprogram the body’s adverse reactions to substances by treating one allergen at a time through acupressure or acupuncture.
