“Take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live.”
Functional Medicine is deeply science based. The latest research shows that what happens within us is connected in a very complicated network.
Instead of asking “What drug matches up with this condition?” Functional Medicine ask’s the vital questions; such as “Why do you have this problem in the first place? Why has function been compromised or lost?”
Most importantly… “What can we do to restore function?”
– Dr. Stephanie Canestraro
About Me
Growing up as a competitive dancer was extremely demanding and hard on my body. After my hip surgery, I struggled to regain my health physically and mentally.
I didn’t want a band-aid solution or to be stuck on handfuls of medication forever. I wanted to understand why my body was giving me the symptoms it was. After seeing numerous specialists and doctors, I decided I wanted the answers and education for myself.
I had my heart set on pursuing dance professionally, but when my health demanded otherwise I had no other choice but to listen and pivot. In the midst of restoring my health so I could get back to dancing, I found a new passion in Functional Medicine and Holistic Nutrition. Helping pro athletes continue to pursue their passion and perform their best.
