What Is Functional Medicine?

Nutrition is a vital part of our health, responsible for billions of functions and chemical reactions that happen in our bodies every day. Functional medicine looks beyond symptoms to identify what’s really driving them — and learning how to balance your meals and supplement correctly can help close the gap between how you feel now and how you could feel at your healthiest. At Team Chiropractic, functional medicine and nutrition consults are available for patients at both our Raleigh and Wake Forest offices.

Sensitivity, Deficiency & Toxicity Explained

All sickness and disease stem from sensitivities, deficiencies and toxicities in the body. The number one cause of deficiency is decreased nerve flow, and the number one cause of toxicity is medication and a poor diet.

Why Supplementation Matters

Due to the stresses of modern life, declining food quality, and the toxins we're exposed to daily, most of us need a consistent supply of the raw materials our enzymes and biochemistry need to function properly. Supplements are designed to add back what's missing from your diet.

A Root-Cause Approach to Nutrition

Rather than guessing, our functional medicine consults are built around your actual lab work and health history — so your plan addresses the source of your symptoms, not just how they show up.

How Our Functional Medicine Consults Work

Functional medicine at Team Chiropractic starts with understanding your body’s unique deficiencies and toxicities. Dr. Mateus has extensive training in functional medicine and supplementation, and combines that knowledge with detailed lab work and subjective health surveys to pinpoint the underlying causes of systemic distress and disease. His goal is to identify and correct the source of your symptoms using strategic, individualized supplementation protocols that support the body’s natural healing process.

“True healing starts with finding out what your body is missing and what it’s carrying that it shouldn’t be. When we correct those two things, the body does what it was designed to do — heal itself.”

— Dr. Mateus
