Patients with any condition can find relief at Tarrytown Functional Medicine, because we treat the individual patient, not the disease.

For those who are healthy, we concentrate on identifying imbalances and risk factors, which could cause disease in the future.

For those who already have health challenges, we look for the underlying causes of disease, rather than only treating symptoms.

There can be many underlying factors promoting a disease state, among them are 

• Inflammation
• Overweight
• Heavy metal overload
• Hormonal imbalances
• Side effects of medications
• Nutritional deficiencies

These can lead to compromises in the immune system and difficulties eliminating toxic substances from the body. Over time, these deficiencies and imbalances, in association with a person’s own genetic uniqueness, can lead to disease.

There are very few diseases that are purely genetic. Instead, most disease stems from lifestyle and diet choices, which are incompatible with your genetics. For more on Functional Medicine, see the FAQ section.
