| Our Approach
01
The traditional model of medical care has been around for centuries. You visit a doctor, receive a diagnosis, and get prescribed medication. Thus begins a cycle of taking medication after medication all while dealing with unintended side effects.
For something short-term like a cold, this model of care is effective. There are minimal side effects for antibiotics, and once you finish your medication, you’re better. But how does this model of care work for chronic conditions?
If you suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic pain, etc., traditional medical care offers you the same solution of diagnose and prescribe, prescribe, prescribe. We have come to accept this model of care because it’s the only one we know. We encourage you to explore a new standard of care, one tailored for you and your needs.

Has your physician ever provided you a playbook to solve your ailment without medication?
At its core, Functional Medicine is about understanding that everyone’s body is different. You are an individual, and your health is a combination of genetics and everything you’ve put in your body. From the food you eat to the medicines you take, everything has an effect on your health.
The concepts behind Functional Medicine have been around for over a century, but they were often clouded by the nuance of holistic medicine. An increase in research dollars and cutting-edge technology has created a renaissance in healthcare. No longer are you relegated to overwhelming your body with medication.
We now have the technology and data to transform your body with customized healthcare, and that is exactly what we are doing here at the Institute for Functional Health.
We stand behind the quality of our care and your journey toward better health. Our approach is designed to support lasting wellness, and we’re committed to providing effective, personalized solutions for every patient. If, at any point, you’re not fully satisfied with the care you receive, please reach out—our team is here to ensure you’re on a path to achieving your health goals.
All medical services are performed under the supervision of Dr. Linda Esquivel, M.D.
