Our Approach to Healing
Functional Integrative medicine that addresses the whole person - body, mind, and spirit
Beyond Conventional Medicine
At Sancta Familia Center, we practice functional integrative medicine - combining the best of conventional medical care with evidence-based complementary therapies. We believe that true healing requires addressing the root causes of illness, not just managing symptoms.
Our approach recognizes that the body is an interconnected system. Physical illness affects mental and emotional wellbeing, and vice versa. By treating the whole person, we can achieve lasting improvements that symptom-focused treatments often miss.
Root Cause Focus
We dig deep to find underlying causes rather than just treating symptoms
Personalized Care
Every patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their unique biochemistry
Family-Centered
We treat the whole family system, recognizing that healing happens together
How We Help Your Family Heal
Our Treatment Methods
Targeted Nutrient Therapy
Based on advanced biochemical testing, we identify specific nutrient deficiencies and imbalances. Targeted supplementation can address conditions like pyrrole disorder, methylation issues, and oxidative stress that often underlie behavioral and developmental challenges.
Biochemical Testing
We use comprehensive laboratory testing to understand your child's unique biochemistry. Tests may include zinc/copper ratios, histamine levels, methylation markers, food sensitivities, and more.
Functional Medicine
We look at how all body systems work together - gut health, immune function, detoxification, and neurotransmitter balance. This systems-based approach often reveals connections that traditional medicine misses.
Faith & Family Services
For families with a Christian Faith Tradition who desire it, we offer spiritual support including spiritual direction and our on-site Divine Mercy Chapel. We believe faith can be a powerful component of healing.
