Functional Medicine Doctor in California
Functional medicine in California via telemedicine. Personalized, root-cause care for adults and children!
I am a licensed physician serving patients throughout California via telemedicine, offering a functional and integrative approach to uncover what’s truly driving your symptoms, and how to restore balance. This is care designed around your Health, not your diagnosis.
What is Function Medicine?
A holistic approach to health is focusing on the root cause of illness. This approach requires a physician that is skilled in asking the right questions, be curious, and compassionate. It requires deeper listening skills and thinking outside the box.
Many patients often see many other practitioners before ever finding an functional physician who will spend more time uncovering their health and setting up a practical and functional plan for healing.
What is included in a Functional approach?
Dr. Michael Blahut, DO will set specific and obtainable goals towards healing. We always discuss the foundations of health which need to be in place as the soil which health and healing grows from. Often functional testing at home or lab orders are set up to dig deeper. We always consider the whole person in our approach, body, mind, and spirit. Remembering each person is a unique manifestation of their past history of traumas, injuries, relationships, diet, movement, thoughts and feelings.
What conditions are commonly treated with functional medicine in California?
Dr. Blahut helps identify and treat often overlooked subtle influences on our health such as:
- Mold and metals toxicity
- Genetic polymorphisms and mutations such as MTHFR / COMT SNPs
- Autism and Adverse childhood events (ACEs)
- PANDAS / PANS for children
- SIBO / Gut dysbiosis
- Food intolerance and allergies
- EMF Sensitivities
- Lyme and other chronic tick borne illness
- Chronic stress and emotional stressors
What does an Integrative Medicine treatment plan look like?
Treatment is often focused on first going after the low hanging fruit, simple yet powerful changes. Then we build up the health foundations to create resilience no matter what the disease. We have functional and integrative testing available to dive deeper into the root cause of issues, which are often overlooked in common labs and bloodwork.
We often focus on lifestyle changes with great discussion on food as medicine, movement, mindfulness, stress relief. Then we may add on nutraceuticals, supplements, homeopathic remedies, or herbs to assist the body in moving to health. Medications may be prescribed.
We have the ability to customize your treatment with compounding medications and peptide therapies as well.
We treat patients across the USA, with Licenses in PA, CA, FL, & WY.
What Working Together Looks Like
We begin with a comprehensive initial consultation where we explore your full health history and current concerns in detail.
From there, we build a personalized plan that may include targeted supplementation, nutrition strategies, lifestyle changes, and functional testing when needed.
Follow-up visits allow us to adjust your plan and continue progressing toward your goals.
This is a collaborative process focused on long-term health, not quick fixes.
