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.

IV Therapy
IV therapy involves delivering fluids, medications, nutrients, or vitamins directly into your bloodstream through a vein using a catheter.
​
This method ensures quick absorption, providing direct access to the body’s system for immediate and effective treatment. IV therapy supplies rapid hydration by delivering essential vitamins and minerals. People receive IV therapy as a doctor’s prescription or as a way to accelerate their recovery/healing process. For example, a popular IV infusion is the NAD+, which serves as a great antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cognitive boost.
Financial Support
​
When we are chronically ill it is hard to work to provide for ourselves or our families. Sometimes we need to spend money to work with the appropriate medical professionals and pull ourselves out of illness. If this is the case I strongly recommend taking a personal loan from the bank, speaking with your employer and HR about an HSA card which can be applied at some clinics, consider freelance work of any kind to earn extra cash, consider acquiring a HELOC (equity line of credit on your home). Debt free is the goal, but if we need to go into debt to get healthy, then these options may help you.
​
Please remember, initial testing to find your root causes and treatment may be pricey, but is not permanent. Accurate diagnoses lead to accurate treatment, which can accelerate your healing. When your healing is accelerated, you can return to full function sooner, and then work to pay off any debt accrued.
