Functional Medicine Consultation & Personalized Treatment Programs
Dr. Jamie listens carefully to every detail of your health story during the initial consultation. She discusses your medical and family history, as well as other key factors impacting your health such as your lifestyle, dietary habits, genetics, toxic exposures, emotions, stressors, and spiritual life.
Dr. Jamie will suggest the most relevant specialty lab tests then discuss your results at your second visit. She uses your lab results to determine the root causes of your unique health issues and prepares a customized treatment plan that combines nutritional supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes, bio-identical hormones, and/or stress management techniques.

Dr. Jamie designs a customized Functional Medicine treatment program for patients in Whittier to reset their stress response, rebalance their systems, and restore optimal health.

What is the difference between a Functional Medicine doctor and a regular doctor?
In contrast to traditional (allopathic) medicine which focuses on treating disease symptoms with pharmaceuticals, Functional Medicine goes deeper, targeting the underlying causes and supporting the patient’s innate healing mechanisms to create true health and healing, not just mask symptoms.
Typically, these factors relate to the environment and lifestyle, such as dietary habits, emotional health, sleeping patterns, physical activity, stress, and hidden infections.
-
What are the reasons to see a Functional Medicine doctor?
These are the most common reasons why people in Whittier choose to visit a Functional Medicine doctor near them:
- Longer appointments: It is common for Functional Medicine doctors to spend more time with you because they take a detailed history of your health and life experiences. They listen to your whole story, from your childhood illnesses to your current stress levels and lifestyle habits, and everything in between, in order to understand your current health issues and how to effectively treat it.
- Alternative treatments: Functional Medicine doctors prescribe alternative treatments like nutritional supplements, bioidentical hormones, herbs, meditation, breathing exercises, light therapy, and specific foods to consume or avoid. Dr. Jamie does not prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. On the rare occasion that she may consider medication to be of benefit to you, she will educate you on the pharmaceutical and guide you in how to discuss it with your primary treating physician.
- Lasting relief from a chronic illness: Patients suffering from chronic illnesses in Whittier can find hope and real healing through Functional Medicine, because FM doctors are trained to address the root causes of illness in order to provide not just temporary relief, but ongoing healing.
- Personalized approach: Functional Medicine is by definition “personalized medicine.” Functional Medicine doctors take the time to really get to know you and “see you.” You are not just another 15-min appointment, and you are never a statistic. You are a valued patient who deserves to be heard and helped.
