Integrative & Functional Medicine

Have you been struggling with a chronic condition and found that traditional methods are bringing more side effects than relief? While medication is sometimes essential, it isn’t always the right option. Integrative & functional medicine focuses on overall wellness as a way to help resolve symptoms.

At MINT Nutrition in Mooresville, NC, we aim to provide services that help you achieve optimal health. We take a whole-body approach to treating our patients through personalized health assessments, custom lifestyle medicine, supplementation, and personalized diet plans.

What Is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with complementary and alternative therapies to address the physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences that affect a person’s health. It treats the whole person rather than just the disease, emphasizing a patient-centered approach and usually involves a combination of conventional treatments with evidence-based complementary practices.

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of diseases, considering each patient’s unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. It views the body as an interconnected system rather than a collection of independent organs divided by medical specialties. Unlike some traditional models, functional medicine seeks to offer personalized care plans and resolve symptoms holistically through optimal health with an emphasis on prevention.

What Are the Benefits of Integrative & Functional Medicine?

Weight Loss

We use integrative & functional medicine to support sustainable weight loss, address underlying metabolic imbalances, and tailor dietary and lifestyle changes to your unique needs. Functional medicine helps us identify food sensitivities, hormonal discrepancies, and other factors hindering weight management efforts.

Chronic Disease Management

By focusing on functional nutrition and other strategies, patients can manage chronic diseases more effectively, often reducing the reliance on medications. Diet and lifestyle can help regulate disease activity, improving quality of life through natural, nutrition-based interventions.

Gut Health

Improving gut health is a cornerstone of functional medicine, as we recognize the gut’s critical role in overall health and disease prevention. We employ targeted dietary interventions, probiotics, and lifestyle modifications to restore gut flora balance and enhance digestive system function.

Anti-Aging

Functional medicine contributes to anti-aging efforts by helping your body heal at the cellular level. This branch of medicine supports longevity and vitality through different diagnostic and treatment processes, helping to slow down the aging process.

Improved Athletic Performance

Leveraging functional nutrition and other methods can enhance athletic performance, improve recovery times, and reduce inflammation. Our personalized strategies can help ensure that your body is primed for performance and endurance.

Resolving Mycotoxin and Mold Illness

Focusing on eliminating environmental and dietary sources of mycotoxins while supporting the body’s detoxification processes effectively resolves symptoms associated with mycotoxin and mold illness. This intervention can restore health and prevent long-term complications.

The Pillars of Our Approach

Finding Underlying Causes

We seek to uncover the root causes of illness by delving into a patient’s comprehensive history and unique physiological makeup. This exploration goes beyond treating superficial symptoms and focuses on the intricate web of factors contributing to disease. Understanding these underlying causes enables us to craft personalized treatment plans that lead to more effective and lasting solutions.

The Body as an Integrative Whole

Our approach is grounded in the belief that the body functions as an integrative whole, where physical, mental, and emotional health are interlinked. Functional, integrative, and mind-body medicine focuses on your well-being in these areas, knowing that each can impact the body’s healing process and overall health outcomes.

Food as Medicine

In accordance with functional medicine philosophies, we harness food’s transformative power to heal and prevent illness. Our nutritional strategies are designed to meet each patient’s specific needs, using food as a primary tool to support the body’s natural healing processes. Focusing on food’s nutritional value and healing properties empowers patients to make informed dietary choices that can significantly impact their health journey.

Patient-Centered Care

Patient-centered care is at the foundation of our practice. We believe in comprehensive support for the whole person and providing people-centered care that empowers us. We aim to help you better understand your health so that you can heal from within. What makes us different is that we go to great lengths to spend the time necessary to understand your needs and goals. We do this through in-depth personal health assessments and specialized testing.

When you begin a treatment plan, you’ll receive 100% of our attention and will be treated by board-certified medical professionals who can teach you how to take control of your health and make informed decisions. Our one-on-one coaching allows us to deliver tailored, clinically relevant nutritional recommendations and interventions to our patients and make adjustments to promote your continued progress.
