Dr. Daniel Boggs tends toward an integrated approach to physical wellness. Functional Holistic Health Care, often referred to as functional medicine, is a holistic approach to healthcare that seeks to address the root causes of illness, rather than just treating symptoms. It emphasizes personalized care, considering each individual's unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environmental factors that may contribute to their health challenges. The goal of this type of care is to restore balance in the body's systems through a combination of nutrition, lifestyle changes, supplements, and and other therapies, with the goal of promoting optimal wellness and preventing future disease. This approach often involves extensive patient education and collaboration between the practitioner and patient to create a customized treatment plan tailored to the individual's needs.
Patient's who seek this type of care often suffer with the following type of health concerns: digestive disorders, food intolerances, difficulty losing weight, autoimmune conditions, thyroid problems, blood sugar disorders, hormone imbalances, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, neuropathy, and other chronic health concerns. We do not "treat" these conditions. Rather, our goal is to uncover where the body is malfunctioning and then help restore the normal neurophysiological function of the body. In doing so, we are helping the body heal itself as much as possible.
