ABOUT US
EmPower Vitality Clinic was born out of a need for a medical provider with solid background knowledge in traditional medicine to delve into the holistic / integrative / wellness medicine world and bring the much-needed gap between allopathic medicine and wellness medicine.
​
Bridging this gap involves taking a deep dive into the knowledge, science, and research in the wellness world and translating it into practical and actionable steps in promoting wellness, vitality, and longevity.
​
There are 3 main approaches to what we offer
Functional medicine is a type of healthcare that focuses on understanding the underlying causes of disease and using a systems-oriented approach to address them. It takes into account a person's unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors and looks for imbalances in the body's processes to find the root of the problem. The goal of functional medicine is to promote wellness and prevent illness by addressing the whole person, rather than just treating symptoms.
Pediatric functional medicine is a branch of medicine that aims to address the root causes of chronic health conditions in children. It takes a holistic approach to the treatment of pediatric health issues, considering factors such as nutrition, lifestyle, genetics, and the environment. Pediatric functional medicine practitioners work to identify imbalances and dysfunctions in the body, and then create personalized treatment plans to address these issues.
