When is Functional Medicine Best for You?

Simply put, you have a chronic illness. It can be severe or just a nagging illness. Maybe you're a diabetic who seems to get sick all the time. Or, perhaps you get terrible headaches after work, but not on the weekend. Maybe you fight through bouts of fatigue you just can't seem to shake, or perhaps you have digestive issues that are gradually becoming more frequent and more intense.

Whatever it is that has made you search the Internet for a solution, you've probably found your needle in the haystack. Dr. Cohen understands that sending you home with a new medicine to relieve some of your symptoms isn't why you're here. It's not why she's here either.

Let's see what we can do about never having a symptom again. Functional Medicine, along with Integrative Medicine and Holistic Treatments, is how Dr. Cohen will create a custom plan for healing based on what's going on in your body. These modalities are examples of how she might help you reach your end goal of never experiencing your symptoms again. 

Optimizing your life begins with optimizing your food!

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is also known as Bioidentical Hormone Therapy and Natural Hormone Therapy. These hormones are man-made but identical  to our body's own hormones and created in such a way that your body uses them as it would use it's own hormones.

This is a very effective treatment plan for patients who suffer from hormone imbalances or do not make enough hormones on their own. Dr. Cohen has successfully used Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy to treat metabolic, reproductive, and sexual function issues.

Chelation Therapy

Chelation Therapy is the practice of using "chelating agents" to remove heavy metal toxins from the body. The medical practice started in the 1930s and has a long history of success. The right chelator "binds" with the associated heavy metal and then is filtered through the kidney and released in the patient's urine.

The therapy is effective with heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, iron, and more. It has also been a treatment option for people with Atherosclerotic Heart Disease, Vascular Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis and can even treat arsenic poisonings.

IV Therapy

Dr. Cohen may use IV Therapy as part of a holistic and integrative medical treatment plan for natural healing. "IV," like you've probably had at one time in your life, is short for intravenous. The process delivers needed hydration, vitamins, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream.

The therapy is so effective because it bypasses the digestive system. Taking pills can prevent up to 50% of the nutrients from being absorbed, making IV therapy much more efficient.

Standard Process Whole Food Supplements

Dr. Dana prides herself on prescribing the highest quality supplements and Standard Process is one of them. Standard Process produces nutritional supplements that are derived from whole foods. Along with MediHerb,  their sister brand of herbal supplements, Dr. Cohen uses these high-quality supplements to "supplement" the nutrients and vitamins missing from a patient's diet.

This holistic and natural healing method can help correct organ malfunction, digestive disorders, cardiovascular problems, inflammation issues, and support the immune, musculoskeletal, endocannabinoid, and nervous systems. 

The supplementation regime Dr. Cohen creates for her patients is taken in the same manner one would take a prescription, and dosages should be monitored over time to make adjustments to heal illness and restore health and well-being. 

Fullscript

Dr. Dana has partnered with Fullscript, an online supplement dispensary. They carry the highest quality brands of supplements including Orthomolecular Products, Xymogen, Designs For Health, and Protocol For Life-to name a few.

She will make your personalized recommendations of the exact products she wants you to take and you will receive an email and can order online. There is even a discount for using her recommendations.
