Dr. Keri Topouzian is an osteopathic physician who is board-certified in Functional Medicine and Emergency Medicine with 30+ years of experience. In his practice, he focuses on preventing and predicting disease, and seeks out the root/underlying cause of a patient’s complaints. As an example, when a patient comes in with an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s, Dr.T will look for an underlying cause, such as a chronic smoldering infectious process, food sensitivities, heavy metal exposure, etc.
Dr. T utilizes bio-identical hormones, pharmaceutical-grade nutrients, intravenous therapies, as well as new, old & forgotten science-based treatment options while utilizing a myriad of specialty labs for testing.
The term “functional medicine” was coined by the Institute for Functional Medicine in 1993 to describe the medicine of the future. Many complementary and alternative medicine practitioners use a functional medicine approach that includes using a patient-centered approach to promote preventive healthcare.
Functional medicine professionals realize that all individuals have unique metabolic patterns that affect their health needs and, therefore, the concept of individuality is central to every aspect of functional medicine, from clinical assessment and diagnosis to the broad spectrum of treatment modalities.
