What to Expect From Functional Medicine

Your First Appointment

When offering functional health to Westlake patients, their journey begins with intake forms, food journaling, a review of their medical history, and diagnostic testing.

Your Second Visit

During your second appointment, your provider reviews your test results and maps out a holistic care plan that addresses your symptoms and promotes long-term well-being.

Treatment and Beyond

As treatment continues, you will meet with your provider monthly so they can track your progress, guide each treatment, and nurture ongoing holistic balance.
