Service Description

Functional medicine is a patient-centered, integrative approach to healthcare that goes beyond symptom management. Instead of simply treating isolated issues, functional medicine aims to uncover and address the underlying root causes of illness by evaluating the full spectrum of physical, emotional, and lifestyle-related factors affecting your health. At Whitfield Wellness Associates in Houston, we take time to assess how different systems in your body interact. For example, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or hormone imbalance may all be tied to blood sugar dysregulation, chronic inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies. We don’t stop at a single diagnosis, we search for connected imbalances across your body that may be holding you back from feeling your best. Functional medicine also addresses how mental and emotional stress impact your physical well-being. Chronic stress can affect your immune system, digestion, hormone levels, and more, which is why our holistic health model considers your full health history and daily environment when creating your treatment plan.


What to Expect During a Functional Medicine Consultation

Your initial consultation with Dr. Paige Whitfield at Whitfield Wellness Associates will be more comprehensive than a traditional medical visit. We take a 360-degree view of your health by reviewing your:

 

  • Medical history

  • Nutrition and lifestyle habits

  • Environmental exposures

  • Stress levels and emotional health

 

You may also undergo specialty labs and functional diagnostic testing to assess gut health, nutrient status, hormone balance, and potential food sensitivities. From there, we’ll create a customized wellness plan tailored to your goals — whether that’s reversing chronic disease, improving energy levels, balancing hormones, or supporting metabolic health.
