Functional Medicine

Caring for your health properly is so much more than just taking care of individual areas of your body. At Dr. Creek Weight Loss, we follow a “functional medicine” approach that treats the unified system of your body, holistically.
Caring for your health properly is so much more than just taking care of individual areas of your body. At Dr. Creek Weight Loss, we follow a “functional medicine” approach that treats the unified system of your body, holistically.

The concept of “functional medicine” springs from the idea that medical care is an act of integration, not separation.

Instead of simply addressing different symptoms across separate areas, functional medicine seeks to treat the underlying root cause – while looking at lifestyle factors such as diet, environment, emotional health, and mindset that usually brings on the illness patients are seeking to heal.

The principles that characterize Functional Medicine care are as follows:

  • A functional medicine doctor prioritizes quality over quantity with their patients. The practitioner will only make a medical diagnosis after listening carefully to a patient’s medical history, looking at lifestyle factors that are oftentimes causing illness, then making a personalized assessment based on each patient’s unique situation.
  • Assessment, natural healing, and prevention are prioritized over wait-and-see treatment approaches.
  • The most modern and advanced medical equipment that is available is used along with natural forms of healing like upgrading diet and using healing herbs or supplementation with few or no side effects.
  • Patients are taught how to take a more active role in their own health and will learn up-to-date nutritional science and lifestyle modifications that can boost their health and overall wellness for a lifetime.

Utilizing the functional medicine approach helps patients to finally heal and deal with the root cause of illness that they have been struggling with for years.

Instead of relying on being prescribed medications again and again for temporary relief, functional medicine doctor James Creek and his team at Dr. Creek Weight Loss diagnose problems holistically and arm patients with the modern tools for healthy living.

Since the founding of his practice, he and his team have helped patients heal from life-altering conditions such as fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, migraines, and more.
