Functional Medicine Scottsdale, AZ

What Is Functional Medicine? 

If you’re searching for Functional Medicine in Scottsdale, you’re likely looking for more than a quick fix or symptom management. At Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, Dr. Abigail Montag takes a comprehensive, personalized approach to healthcare by identifying and addressing the root causes of illness, hormone imbalance, fatigue, digestive concerns, weight struggles, inflammation, skin conditions, and other chronic health issues. 

Rather than simply treating symptoms, functional medicine focuses on understanding how your body systems work together and uncovering the underlying factors affecting your health. Through advanced testing, nutrition, lifestyle modifications, targeted supplementation, and individualized treatment plans, Dr. Montag helps patients achieve long-term wellness and optimal health from the inside out. 

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on finding and treating the root cause of symptoms rather than masking them. Every patient is unique, and there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution to health concerns. 

By evaluating factors such as: 

• Hormone balance  

• Gut health and digestion  

• Nutritional deficiencies  

• Inflammation  

• Stress and adrenal function  

• Sleep quality  

• Metabolic health  

• Environmental exposures  

• Lifestyle habits  

We develop a customized treatment plan designed specifically for your body and health goals.
