Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a systems-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease, illness, discomfort and pain — rather than just treating symptoms. We look at the body as an interconnected whole and consider how all systems affect each other.
How It Works
At Black Psychiatry, we start by looking at the root cause of your mental, emotional and/or physical sy.
We use a combination of gut biome testing, environmental analysis, and lifestyle determinators to create a conclusive diagnosis, and treatment plan treatment far beyond ‘take these pills’ and go home.
Treatment plans often include nutrition, movement prescriptions and medication management — to create lasting mental wellness.
Who is it for?
Functional medicine is for anyone who has not experienced success with the Western process of medicine. It’s for those who are looking for sustainable, permanent fixes to their root issues.
Many of these people experience:
+ Anxiety
+ Depression
+ OCD
+ Intrusive Thoughts
+ Chronic Pain + Migraines
+ Emotional Dysregulation
+ Relational Trauma
+ PTSD

What to Expect
Like any medical treatment, results are not guaranteed — but I can share that 87% of my patients have expressed dramatic improvements to their symptoms in as little as 6-weeks and 74% of those patients have gone on to experience continued improvement for years to come.
Functional medicine aims to fix problems as well as provide preventive treatment to avoid future issues.
You should see results as quickly as 6 weeks.
