Root Cause Healing, Not Just Symptom Management

Our Approach To Functional Medicine

At Restoring Health, our Functional Medicine approach goes far beyond symptom management—we focus on uncovering and addressing the root causes of illness to promote true, lasting wellness. What sets us apart is our commitment to whole-person care, which integrates structural health, targeted nutrition, lifestyle modifications, emotional balance, and advanced detoxification strategies.

We combine in-depth lab testing with personalized protocols to create a clear, science-based path to healing that’s tailored to each individual. Unlike many practices that rely on a one-size-fits-all model or merely swap prescriptions for supplements, we take the time to truly listen, investigate, and partner with our patients to restore vitality from the inside out. Our warm, collaborative environment empowers patients to become active participants in their own health transformation.

What To Expect

Our Functional Medicine approach is for those seeking answers to chronic symptoms like fatigue, hormonal imbalance, digestive issues, and brain fog. We focus on identifying and treating the root causes of illness—not just managing symptoms—through a comprehensive, whole-person lens. Care plans are personalized to help you heal from the inside out.

 5 Star Reviews from Clients Feeling Their Best!

I have been diagnosed with acute reactivation of Epstein Barr virus by blood work for each of the last three years. I had mono in College, decades ago. I am Type 1 Diabetic since 2011, low thyroid since 2008 and have fatigue, foggy brain, short term memory issues and sleep disruption. Epstein Barr is suspected as the cause of late adult onset of Type 1 as happened with me. Also, Epstein Barr interferes with proper thyroid function.

I started experiencing searing pain in both arms and great stomach discomfort that had been increasing over time. Five different doctors (emergency room, endo doc, neuro doc, kidney doc, cardio doc) could not find an answer for the arm pain or abdominal pain. I found if I stopped taking my thyroid medicine Tirosint (has no fillers) for even one day, I felt better. If I started it again the very next day, I felt worse. No doctor believed Tirosint could be the cause but I had 6 out of 12 listed side effects. I had been on Tirosint for seven years. While I was on Tirosint, my TSH was 5.59. I decided to stop taking my Thyroid meds entirely and the symptoms improved greatly. However, within 4 weeks my TSH increased to was 14.1 !! I knew it would be bad but never dreamed it would tank that much.

Then I started on the blood irradiation IV therapy at Restoring Health. After only three treatments, I had more blood work done. The results are jaw dropping. My TSH came in at 4.97!! With NO MEDS. That is simply spectacular. Also, my eGFR that had dropped to 66, was now back up to 78 after three sessions of the blood irradiation therapy. I cannot recommend the blood irradiation therapy enough. This protocol will bring healing, improved immunity and greater health!

I have a 9 year old with epilepsy and behavior concerns and device to come here first and try neurofeedback before attempting the traditional route of care. We have been coming around a month or so and I am SO PLEASED. The entire staff has been so kind to us, makes us feel welcomed and comfortable and ar taking a team approach to his care. After doing neurofeedback with Kelli, and Dr. O’Keefe running labs and stool analysis, along with suggesting corrections to our diet (going paleo) as well as appropriate vitamin/herbal recommendations we are beginning to see improvements. An amazing, caring staff who listen and genuinely care about improving the lives of their patients. Yes, it is a lot of work on our side, but worth it and worth every penny. Incredibly grateful. I would HIGHLY recommend Restoring Health to anyone who is willing to do the hard things, make changes and work with doctors who listen and care. You won’t regret it.
