SPWC is proud to announce
a new approach to medicine:
Functional Medicine
What is Functional Medicine?
The functional medicine model of care offers a patient-centered approach to chronic disease management. It seeks to answer the question, “Why are you ill?” so you can receive personalized, effective care for your needs.
Dr. Sweta Shah will spend time listening to you, gathering your medical history, along with extensive lab work. She will use this information to identify the root cause(s) of the illness, including triggers such as poor nutrition, stress, toxins, allergens, genetics and your microbiome (the bacteria living in and on your body).
What to expect
All of your functional medicine appointments will be one-on-one directly with Dr. Sweta Shah.
Your first two visits last between 45-60 minutes each. This gives us time to:
-
Review your full and complete health history from birth.
-
Perform a physical exam.
-
Order lab tests and perform specialized blood tests as needed.
-
Introduce you to our “food as medicine” philosophy.
-
Identify your health goals.
-
Discuss natural treatments for your illness and follow-up care.
