FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CONDITIONS AND TREATMENTS
Functional medicine is a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding and treating complex chronic illnesses. Providers specializing in functional medicine take the time to get to know the patient and learn about contributing factors to their health history, including biological, behavioral, psychosocial, and environmental components.
Many of our patients choose a restorative functional medicine approach where traditional forms of medicine, such as prescription medications, are no longer effective in treating their autoimmune diseases or other chronic conditions.
This patient-centered, holistic form of medicine allows patients to receive personalized treatment protocols that may include various cutting-edge therapies to meet their unique needs.
Peptide Therapy
Peptides are the building blocks of proteins and signaling molecules, carrying out various important functions within the cells of the body. Peptide therapy has a wide range of effects on the body, including an improved immune system, reduced inflammation, improved gut and mental health, neurocognitive enhancement, and beneficial effects on bone and muscle health.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms. It is administered medically via infusion or injection to increase the overall amount of oxygen in your body and stimulate your natural immune system to promote healing. Ozone therapy is beneficial for a variety of conditions by increasing lymphoid cell production and improving blood circulation, oxygenation, detoxification, and natural antioxidant production. It also works as an antimicrobial agent, oxidizing pathogens in blood circulation.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy addresses the imbalance of hormones that can occur. Meeting Point Health offers Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), in which hormones – identical to the ones produced by your body on the molecular level – are used to treat conditions in which your own natural hormone production is deficient.
IV Therapy
Intravenous therapy, or IV therapy, is a functional medicine modality at Meeting Point Health that administers medications, nutrition, and fluids directly into the bloodstream. I therapy is the fastest and most efficient way to provide a person with hydration, nutrition, and medications, because they are being infused directly into the circulatory system and readily bioavailable to your tissues.
Functional Testing
Discover the underlying causes of your health concerns with our advanced functional testing, providing personalized insights for effective treatment.
Health Coaching
Achieve your wellness goals with our expert health coaching, guiding you towards optimal health and vitality through tailored plans and support.
Lyme Disease
Lyme Disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks and possibly other insects. Although most cases of Lyme disease are acute and easily treated, chronic cases are difficult to diagnose and treat with conventional medicine. At Meeting Point Health, we investigate and treat all tick-borne infections, which are common and complicated. If you are looking for a Lyme-literate doctor in the Philadelphia area, we’re here to help.
There are many alternative therapies offered at Meeting Point Health to treat the symptoms of chronic Lyme disease, including ozone therapy, antimicrobials, IV infusions, functional nutrition, lifestyle management, and acupuncture.
Mold
Mold toxicity is caused by mycotoxins produced by certain types of mold. These toxins self-replicate and can become harmful to our health as they accumulate within the body. The most effective forms of treatment include those that promote the body’s natural detoxification processes and regeneration processes of the nervous system, including IV therapy, peptide therapy, nebulizer treatments, infrared sauna, and health coaching.
Gut Health
The gut is often referred to as the “second brain,” as it is home to over 100 million neurons and plays a major role in our overall physical and psychological health. Gut health is important for absorbing nutrients from our food and being a major producer of essential hormones and enzymes. Damaged or unhealthy gut biomes are often the root cause of several health concerns, including severe autoimmune conditions.
At Meeting Point Health, our functional medicine doctors treat gut-related disorders with the 5R method – remove, replace, reinoculate, repair, and rebalance – which uses a step-wise, multidisciplinary approach to treat digestive disorders, restore gut health, and help you heal so that you can reach your full potential.
