Kindness
& Empathy
Dr. Austin's passion for medicine began with her own search for answers to personal health struggles. She vividly remembers the loneliness of that journey and is dedicated to ensuring her patients never feel the same way she felt.
Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that looks beyond just treating symptoms and aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of health issues. It considers the connection and impact of various factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle, to create a more comprehensive understanding of a person's well-being.
In this approach, the focus is on treating the individual rather than the disease, emphasizing personalized interventions such as lifestyle changes, nutrition, and sometimes supplements.
Practitioners work collaboratively with patients to improve overall wellness and long-term health, using a combination of both evidence based alternative therapies and conventional medical approaches. It's a patient-centered method that aims to address health concerns at their root and enhance the quality of life.
