Precision Health MD: Medicine 3.0
Having worked in conventional medicine as a physician assistant and been a patient within our medical care system, I know firsthand that our Western medicine model is lacking in its personalized, humanistic, and holistic approach.
I'm so happy to be part of the team at Precision Health MD. This holistic medicine team, led by Dr. Roelands, is dedicated to disease prevention and optimizing health through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle medicine, personalized medications and supplementation, and compassionate care.

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
At Precision Health, we practice functional medicine. Functional medicine is a personalized, science-based approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic diseases. It is based on systems biology, which entails looking at the human body as the complex system of systems that it is instead of addressing each organ system in isolation.
​
The philosophy of functional medicine has three tiers that center around the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of each unique individual:
​
-
Genetics and factors influencing one's mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
-
The interconnected physiologic systems of the body that continuously influence each other. These include hormones, digestion and assimilation, energy production, immune function, structural integrity, detoxification, and cardiovascular function.
-
The impact of lifestyle factors on health and disease. These include: sleep, food, movement, relationships, and stress.
