Functional Medicine

Improve Overall Health With Functional Medicine

If you’re struggling with healing from a disease, pain, or other ailments, My Natural Health Center can help. We use a variety of natural healing methods, including functional medicine, to help the body heal. Functional medicine explores how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease.

Dr. Shostek Shields specializes in functional diagnostics to determine where imbalances and issues originate. We routinely order blood laboratory studies, urinalyses, electrocardiograms, DEXA bone density testing, saliva cortisol testing, hormone panels, adrenal fatigue testing, organic acid tests, neurotransmitter analysis, food allergy testing, and diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRI, ultrasound), comprehensive and gastrointestinal stool analyses. Our therapies and treatments emphasize minimally invasive approaches, minimized risk to the patient, and a focus on identifying and treating the cause rather than just the symptoms. We use treatments such as clinical nutrition, therapeutic exercise, nutraceuticals, lifestyle changes, vitamin and mineral supplementation, homeopathic medicine, botanical medicine, acupuncture, natural hormone balancing, medical massage, and chiropractic treatments. Dr. Shostek Shields has had good success with many conditions and diseases which have been resolved and managed by combining these more natural methods with science-based diagnostics.
