Naturopath, ND
Schaumburg, IL 60173
I'm Dr. Kent and here's my story: The truth is I'm just like you! At the age of 35 I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. For the next 10 years I took my thyroid medication faithfully and yet I never felt any better. Nothing really improved. I never had enough energy, I struggled to lose weight, I had a tendency toward depression; to put it mildly I was extremely frustrated. I'd go to my doctor and tell him about my fatigue, my depression and my inability to lose weight. He'd tell me my labs looked fine; it wasn't my thyroid.

Functional Medicine Naturopaths

What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine is an alternative model of healthcare that generally emphasizes a person-centered, rather than disease-centered, approach to health. It integrates conventional Western medical practices with more alternative approaches to health, emphasizing individualized services that take into account each individual's unique lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. The functional medicine model particularly emphasizes managing chronic conditions, especially for patients who haven't responded well to conventional medical treatments.

Practitioners include licensed medical doctors (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs), who treat various conditions including chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal dysfunction, and metabolic syndromes. However, patients should be aware that not all practitioners who practice functional medicine have licensure, and some modalities practiced by functional medicine providers are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Nevertheless, finding a functional medicine practitioner can be transformative for many clients who seek a more integrated approach to medicine that includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and stress management.
