Hypertension, high cholesterol, insomnia, insulin resistance, weight gain, fatigue, irritibale bowel syndrome, thyroid disease, hormone disruption--these are not isolated diagnoses. They are interrelated and interconnected symptoms of physiologic dysfunction.
Traditional medicine limits our health by isolating diagnoses as separate conditions. Functional medicine recognizes that our physiology, biochemistry, and neurology are interconnected and overlap: Multiple symptoms may have one cause and yet, one symptom may have many causes.
Functional medicine seeks to understand the origin, prevention, and treatment of complex, chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, and autoimmunity. We look “upstream” to consider the complex web of interactions in your history, physiology, genetics, and lifestyle that led to illness.
Treatment plans integrate traditional medicine and integrative therapies like therapeutic food plans, detoxification programs, movement, and stress-management techniques.

I was in healthcare for about 20 years when I discovered functional medicine (fm). I had a wealth of clinical experience in a variety of settings in the traditional healthcare system and I was frustrated. I was frustrated with the limits that our healthcare system placed on both clinicians and patients. The pill-for-an-ill system is great when we have short term infections, but that is not why most people seek healthcare.
Treatment of chronic illness comprises the bulk of dollars spent on healthcare, but our system does not allow the time or creativity to reverse or prevent those processes.
FM gave me the answers I was looking for. It is an upstream approach that invites the clinician to consider physiological processes that contribute to and reverse illness.
I started with myself, making small adjustments with food, adding some supplements, and becoming aware of how I was handling stress. Within a few weeks, I began to experience new energy, motivation, and weight loss. My passion for care and cure was reignited and I began to share functional medicine tools with my patients.
I respect the amazing surgeries, devices, and medicines that standard medicine offers and I refer to those services when they provide the best solution. But most often, the biggest problems people face in managing their health is a slow steady decline of function. This is where functional medicine shines.

"Doctors have told me all my life that I need to lose weight, but didn't tell me how to do it.
When I met Layne, she told me I had developed Type 2 diabetes. My heart 💔. Layne asked me how I felt about that news--no one in the medical field had ever asked me how I felt about my health. My first thought and answer were, 'I want to live' and my journey began. Layne educated me on how to eat healthy and I enjoyed it for the first time in my life! I started exercising 30 minutes 5 days a week and within six months I lost 50lbs! My A1C went from 8.9 to 5.7 in three months and I was able to stop my metformin!
Thank you, Layne Weaver, for helping me change my life!"

"When I met Layne, I felt like I was in good health. I exercised five days per week, walking 2-3 miles each time, but I had trouble getting off that last 5-7 pounds. I am getting older and aware that I don't burn off those calories like I used to. Layne gave me some suggestions. After a bit of research, I decided to give them a try. Boy, was I surprised!!! The weight come right off! No more "love handles" for me!! Layne is very knowledgeable on living a healthy life. I highly recommend her to help navigate lifestyle changes!"
