What Is Functional Medicine?
Reoccurring symptoms can be frustrating. At Beyer Functional Wellness, our functional medicine services focus on identifying the root causes of health issues through comprehensive lab testing rather than simply treating the symptoms. By analyzing your unique biochemistry, genetics, and lifestyle factors, our team can personalize your treatment plan to address the underlying imbalances and promote long-term well-being. This approach to medicine allows you to take an active role in your health so you can make informed decisions about your treatments. If you want to schedule a consultation for our functional medicine services, contact our Mokena, IL practice to speak with a member of our team.
How Does Functional Medicine Work?
Your functional medicine appointment at Beyer Functional Wellness will begin with a comprehensive evaluation. Our team will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors. Following this, lab testing will be performed to uncover underlying imbalances and identify areas for improvement. This is considered to be Phase 1 of your treatment. Phase 2 is based on these results, which include creating a customized treatment plan and incorporating lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and other interventions tailored to your needs. Phase 3 includes the implementation of your treatment plan and follow-up visits spaced 6 – 8 weeks apart so that our team can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Three months following your completion of Phase 3, follow-up labs will be performed. Our team will review the results with you to note improvements and/or any other concerns found. Throughout this process, you will receive ongoing support and guidance to optimize your health for the long term.

Beyer Functional Wellness Reviews
I was never a true believer of chiropractic care before until I took a leap of faith! It was the best thing I've done for myself by seeing Dr. Stephen Beyer. My neck and back feel so much better and it's all with consistency. You don't get cured overnight. With manual adjustments, the decompression table therapy and electrical stim, I FEEL AWESOME! To take it a step further, I inquired about Dr. Beyer's expertise in functional medicine. It all started with a blood test and after that he interpreted the results and put me on a metabolic protocol path in feeling better such as I have more energy than before. I sleep better. I don't have brain fogginess anymore. I don't have anymore stomach aches. I've lost weight. If you really truly want to feel better musculoskeletal wise and metabolically. See Dr. Beyer in Mokena! You can't go wrong! A+++
