Functional Medicine

At GSH Medical, our goal is to help you as proactively as you can. We start by addressing your hormone levels: hormone levels decline with age, and in many cases aging leads to low hormone levels in the tissue. Because hormones are required for hundreds of reactions in the body, if your tissue levels are low your health may suffer. If adequate levels of hormone are maintained, the result is that the cellular, metabolic and chemical reactions in your tissue required for normal physiology will be maintained. This reduces your risk of chronic diseases associated with aging. In addition to this, whatever symptoms you had that were a result of deficient hormones will be reduced or eliminated. We use bio-identical hormones to help us restore this balance.

Everyone comes with a unique set of genetics, environmental influences, nutrition status and state of health. There may be factors contributing to your health picture besides hormones. Ultimately, aging well and being “healthy” depends on optimal functioning of various systems of your body. Nutrition, environmental exposures, stress and emotional well-being are also important factors that we need to take into account.
