Are you exhausted, foggy, or feeling “off” – even though your labs look “normal”?
What if Symptoms aren’t random – but signals?
You deserve answers beyond surface-level care.
Why Dr. Alex Integrative Medicine?
You’re not here for temporary fixes — you’re here for clarity.
Dr. Alex Schulthess combines Functional Medicine and Functional Neurology to identify the root drivers behind hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, chronic stress patterns, gut-brain disruption, metabolic resistance, and persistent fatigue.
Using advanced blood work, specialty lab testing, and nervous system assessment, we create a personalized roadmap designed to restore balance — not just suppress symptoms.
This is medicine that listens.
Medicine that investigates.
Medicine that treats you as a whole system.
What Makes Us Different Than Other Health Clinics?
At Dr. Alex Integrative Medicine, we practice root-cause Functional Medicine combined with Functional Neurology to identify why symptoms persist.
Rather than masking fatigue, hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, metabolic resistance, or chronic stress patterns, we investigate the underlying drivers through advanced blood work and specialty lab testing.
Your care plan is personalized, data-driven, and designed to restore full-system balance — not just manage symptoms.
Who is this For ?
This practice is for you if:
• You feel exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or “off” — even when your basic labs look normal.
• You’ve been told your thyroid, hormones, or cortisol are “within range,” yet you still don’t feel like yourself.
• You suspect gut issues, metabolic resistance, chronic stress patterns, or nervous system dysregulation may be driving your symptoms.
• You want a root-cause Functional Medicine approach that looks at brain, gut, hormones, metabolism, and immune balance together — not in isolation.
If you’re ready for clarity instead of confusion, structure instead of guesswork, and a personalized plan instead of trial-and-error, you’re in the right place.
Our Philosophy On Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine asks a different question: Why is this happening?
At Dr. Alex Integrative Medicine, we focus on upstream root causes — hormone dysregulation, gut-brain disruption, inflammatory patterns, stress physiology, and metabolic imbalance.
By addressing the source rather than suppressing symptoms, we help you rebuild clarity, energy, and long-term health stability. We help you stabilize hormones, calm stress physiology, and rebuild long-term metabolic balance.
