Our Intensive Program supports adults and children with chronic illness as they work to regain their health. We identify root causes and guide patients toward lasting health so they can move forward with greater wellness. Through functional medicine, we uncover root causes by thoroughly understanding each patient’s health story.
Our patients come to us with mold toxicity, Lyme disease, bartonella, heavy metal toxicity, synthetic toxins, chronic fatigue, yeast overgrowth, chronic GI distress, multiple chemical sensitivity, MCAS, and more.
They spend at least a year with Dr. Potter and a dedicated provider from the team focused on root cause therapy with the best of natural and conventional therapies.
We recognize that true wellness goes far beyond managing symptoms.
The Functional Wellness program is designed for people ready to invest in themselves.
Those seeking longevity, optimization, balance and restored vitality.
Whether you are looking for help with hormone balance, thyroid support, heart and cholesterol health, sugar control, or weight loss,
our Functional Trained (by Dr. Potter) team is ready to guide through our 6 months Wellness Program.
Includes nutrition support and In Body body composition assessment when enrolled for 6 months.
IV therapies and other advanced therapies available when appropriate.
