This service is for patients who are looking to heal a chronic condition (ie. diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, gut issues etc.). Integrative care blends conventional medicine with functional medicine to find the root cause of the condition and a treatment plan centered around natural solutions. We dive into lifestyle, habits, diet, exercise, environmental exposures, genetic predispositions, etc. to provide comprehensive patient-centered care.
Your second appointment typically takes place 4–8 weeks after your initial visit, once your lab results and assessments have been reviewed. This follow-up can be conducted in person or through a convenient telehealth appointment—whichever best fits your schedule. During this visit, we'll review your results in detail and develop a personalized wellness plan tailored to your unique health needs, goals, and lifestyle. When appropriate, we'll also connect you with trusted specialists, such as nutritionists, registered dietitians, fitness professionals, or other healthcare providers, to ensure you have the comprehensive support needed to achieve lasting success.
At Drip Wellness, your care doesn't end after your initial treatment plan—it evolves with you. Stay connected with your health professional through our secure patient portal, where you can ask questions, receive guidance, and access important health information whenever you need it. We typically recommend follow-up appointments every two months, or more frequently if your health needs require it. If an unexpected concern arises, you can conveniently schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment to receive timely, personalized care.
Traditional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific diseases or symptoms. Integrative medicine takes a more comprehensive approach by considering nutrition, lifestyle, hormone balance, gut health, stress, sleep, exercise, and preventive care alongside conventional medical treatments.
Integrative medicine may help manage a wide range of conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, weight management challenges, anxiety, stress, insomnia, metabolic disorders, and chronic inflammation.
Treatment begins by identifying the underlying cause of digestive issues. Your provider may recommend comprehensive testing, dietary changes, targeted supplements, probiotics, stress management, and lifestyle modifications to restore a healthy gut microbiome and improve digestive function.
Hormone replacement therapy helps restore healthy hormone levels when they decline due to aging, menopause, or other medical conditions. Treatment is customized to each patient's unique hormone profile and symptoms.
HRT may benefit women experiencing symptoms such as:
Your provider will perform a comprehensive evaluation and laboratory testing before determining if HRT is appropriate.
Yes. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, integrative medicine addresses factors such as hormones, metabolism, nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health, and physical activity to support sustainable, long-term weight management.
