FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE The Institute of Natural Health Functional medicine is an individualized medical approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Rather than match a medication with a disease, functional medicine identifies why you have the problem in the first place. The Institute of Natural Health utilizes state-of-the-art testing to identify the root cause of your health concerns. Symptoms and/or diseases are an alarm that something is wrong. They may be a result of gut dysfunction, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, toxic metal/chemical exposure, hidden infections/parasites, stress or various other causes. The Institute of Natural Health then employs cutting-edge treatments such as IV nutrition, EDTA therapy, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and more to help you return to—and then remain in—optimal health. And this is done using little or no prescription medication. Contact The Institute of Natural Health to take control of your health and return to optimal wellness. UNIVERSITY TOWER | 1034 S.
