Farahnik Integrative Medicine
Philosophy
Dr. Farahnik is passionate about discovering and treating the root cause of illness. He believes that one of his primary roles as a physician is to empower and educate patients, to collaborate on developing sustainable and accessible treatment plans, grounded in evidence informed medicine. He found naturopathic medicine many years ago after the conventional healthcare system failed to discover and address his chronic health issues. In realizing and experiencing the power of a holistic and integrated approach to medical care that helped bring him back to health, he knew this was his calling.
What is naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is an integrative form of medical care, or functional medicine, using traditional and sophisticated diagnostic methods and laboratory testing to discover the root cause of illness and treat it, instead of just prescribing pharmaceuticals to suppress symptoms. We spend time understanding your health history and values, and put together comprehensive treatment plans that include dietary, lifestyle, nutritional, supplement, botanical, and pharmaceutical medications to not only bring about symptom relief, but also address the reason why you are feeling unwell.
