About Dr. Leslie Deems, DACM LAC

Functional Medicine is a way of practicing medicine that truly looks at all of the parts of the body and how they are functioning as a whole. The various organs and systems (circulatory, lymphatic, digestive, etc.) have a way of interacting with one another that promotes health and wellness. If one of these systems has a weakness or breaks down entirely, the entire whole will not work at its optimal capacity. Functional medicine focuses on a complete and detailed history of the patient, along with information from diagnostic tests; like that of blood, urine, saliva, and feces. Care is individualized in order to better understand the root cause of disease and to access risk factors associated with disease. ?
