Healing versus Symptom Management

Functional Medicine is a systems biology-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease (vs simply covering up symptoms with medications). If you have depression, this can be caused by low thyroid, omega-3 deficiency, antibiotic use, diabetes or even vitamin D deficiency. On the other hand, if you have chronic inflammation in your body, this can cause depression, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and more. All of this depends on an individual’s genes, environment and lifestyle…and only treatments that address the right cause will have lasting benefit beyond symptom suppression.

Clinical imbalances organized by system vs organ (assimilation & elimination, structural integrity, cellular communication, cellular transport, defense & repair, biotransformation and/or energy)

Process

Prior to our first visit, I take the time to review your paperwork so I can focus on you and your story during our appointment.  During our first visit,  I will listen to your story and develop a timeline of your health. I will also ask any other questions or clarifications I may need to on the paperwork you filled out. We will then review your labs in detail. From there, I will work with you to connect the dots between your story and timeline, lab results, and lifestyle factors to identify a path forward. I will make recommendations that can include medications, nutrition plans, supplements, stress reduction techniques, exercise, more in depth functional testing to better understand the root cause of your health concerns, referral to other specialists (sleep doctor), etc.   Together, we will create a plan that works for you, giving you clarity on the path to what optimal healing looks like for you.

"For the past 10+ years, I have had Toni as my medical care provider. She always takes the extra time to listen and research my health needs. Before I started going to her, my gut health, and hormone health were awful and through the years we have worked together to solve those issues. She has been so attentive to me that about 5 years ago, my husband started seeing her for a hormone and general health boost. He, too, has been very satisfied with the care and attentive details that she provides and attributes her for “saving his life” by recommending that he get a sleep study which has resulted in him controlling his sleep apnea. We would be lost without Toni to give us the direction we need for our health. We think of her as more than a health provider, she is a caring friend."

"Where do I begin to testify of how impactful my treatment has been with Toni Forsyth?!!... There's A LOT I could itemize but I'll just sum it up with this: Her VERY DETAILED, Knowledgeable, COMPASSIONATE, attentive, above & beyond care has essentially GIVEN ME MY LIFE BACK!! I struggled, stumbled around from one medical professional to another for over 5 years with extreme exhaustion, low immunity, hair loss, etc... Since being in Toni's care I have regained enough energy to run my own private practice, and do LIFE with fervor as well as having my hair grow back LONGER than before it fell out! I simply PRAISE GOD for the gift of healing He has given Toni!"

" I was very heavy, I had bad eating habits and was pre-diabetic. My doctor felt Toni was the absolute best resource for me. Boy was she right!

I was fairly new to functional medicine at that time. I had been told by a previous doctor (in a Western Medicine setting) that it was a possibility that I had one or more serious diseases and should be tested.  She spent two hours with me on my first visit and as many more as necessary in the days that followed to give me every resource and tool I needed.

As it turns out, I needed Toni and a nutrition plan that had me feeling like a million bucks within days. She saved my life and I am forever grateful."

 

~Kim P. (Business Owner)

"It wasn’t until I went to the doctor due to a side ache and after bloodwork, an ultrasound, ct scan, and a procedure, here I was a year and a half later and still had the same dull upper side ache, week-long headaches and trouble sleeping. I finally decided I was going to make an appointment with Toni and get to the bottom of it. I was excited to get started so jumped in feet first! A little over 2 months later I am happy to report I am sleeping. I am able to fall asleep at night without Benadryl (which I had to take 1-2 to every night or I would only get a couple hours of sleep). I had no idea how depleted my energy was until it wasn’t any longer. My side ache is still occasional, but less than it has been in the last 2 years, and my week-long headaches are gone. I still have an occasional headache, but is completely manageable and seems to be more weather-related. I am so happy I took the steps for my health and wish I had done it sooner."
