FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Full service telehealth clinic offering Functional Medicine in Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, and
Florida
Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on finding the true root causes of health concerns. Unlike traditional medicine, which often targets symptoms in isolation, functional medicine evaluates the body as an interconnected system. This approach promotes holistic health and long-term wellness by considering factors like genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Whether managing chronic conditions or looking to enhance overall well-being, functional medicine at Apex Integrative Med provides a comprehensive strategy tailored to your unique needs.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a healthcare model that goes beyond symptom management by identifying and treating the underlying causes of health issues. It recognizes that each person is unique, and a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences can affect health.
At Apex Integrative Med, functional medicine combines cutting-edge diagnostic tools with a thorough evaluation of a patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and daily habits. The goal is to uncover imbalances or triggers that may contribute to health challenges. Based on this information, a customized treatment plan is developed. This plan may include nutrition counseling, stress management techniques, supplements, and other therapies to support the body’s natural healing processes. By addressing the root causes, functional medicine alleviates symptoms and works to restore balance and prevent future health issues.
🌿 Root-Cause Healing Through Functional Medicine
At Apex Integrative, we take a systems-based approach to health—looking beyond symptoms to uncover and treat the root cause.
Here are four key areas we specialize in:
🧬 Gut Health
Healing from the Inside Out
Digestive issues like bloating, food sensitivities, and irregularity are often signs of deeper imbalance. We use advanced testing to assess your microbiome, inflammation, and gut lining integrity. Then we create a customized gut restoration protocol to support optimal digestion, immune function, and whole-body health.
🔄 Hormone Balance
Realignment for Resilience & Vitality
From thyroid and adrenal dysfunction to menopause and low testosterone, hormonal imbalances can affect every part of your life. We use tests like DUTCH and comprehensive blood panels to map your hormone patterns, then apply targeted nutrition, supplements, and bioidentical therapies to restore your body’s natural rhythm.
⚡ Chronic Fatigue
Revive Your Energy from the Cellular Level
Tired of being tired? We dig deeper to uncover the root causes of fatigue—like nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial dysfunction, or chronic stress. Our protocols include functional labs, lifestyle upgrades, and evidence-based therapies designed to recharge your energy, focus, and stamina.
⚖️ Weight Loss
A Metabolic Reset, Not a Temporary Fix
Sustainable weight loss starts with understanding what’s driving weight retention—whether it’s insulin resistance, inflammation, hormone imbalance, or gut health. Our programs combine lab testing, nutrition, movement, peptide therapy, and metabolic support to help you achieve lasting transformation.
