Chronic Illness Care – Functional Medicine | Houston, TX

Did you know nearly 60% of adults live with chronic health issues like fatigue, gut problems, inflammation, or hormone imbalances? If you've bounced between doctors, medications, and diets with little to no improvement, you're not alone.That’s where functional medicine comes in. It’s a different way of looking at health—one that gets to the root cause of your symptoms instead of just masking them. 

What Makes Functional Medicine Different?

Functional medicine is a holistic, patient-centered approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of chronic health issues. Unlike conventional care, it considers factors like genetics, lifestyle, and environment. At Houston Concierge Medicine in Houston, Texas, Dr. Gregory Burzynski—an expert in functional medicine—offers personalized, science-backed care to help you feel your best.

The Core Principles of Functional Medicine

Here’s what you can expect from this approach:

• Patient-Centered Care: Your story matters. Your symptoms, history, and life experience are part of your treatment plan.
• Personalized Plans: One-size-fits-all doesn’t work. Functional medicine tailors care to your body and needs.
• Root-Cause Focus: Rather than covering up symptoms, the goal is to fix what’s causing them in the first place.
• Whole-Body View: Your body is one connected system. Functional medicine considers how your gut, hormones, brain, and immune system all interact.

When Functional Medicine Makes the Most Difference

Many people turn to functional medicine after feeling like conventional doctors just gave them pills, quick answers, or didn’t listen. It’s especially helpful if you’re dealing with:

• Chronic fatigue or burnout
• Digestive issues like bloating, IBS, or food sensitivities
• Autoimmune conditions
• Mood swings, anxiety, or poor sleep
• Hormonal imbalances (like thyroid issues or menopause symptoms)
• Brain fog or memory problems

Rather than telling you “it’s just stress” or “your labs are fine,” functional medicine goes deeper.

How It Works at Houston Concierge Medicine

Here’s what a typical journey looks like with Dr. Gregory Burzynski:

1. In-Depth Assessment: You’ll start with a deep dive into your medical history, lifestyle, diet, stress levels, and more. This helps paint a clear picture of what may be out of balance.
2. Advanced Testing: Dr. Gregory Burzynski may use advanced lab tests to check for nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, gut imbalances, hormone levels, and toxin exposure—tests that many primary care offices don’t offer.
3. Custom Wellness Plan: Based on your results, you’ll receive a detailed plan. This might include:
   • Nutrition guidance
   • Supplements or vitamins
   • Stress-reduction tools
   • Lifestyle recommendations
   • Mind-body practices

The goal? Not just feeling better—but staying better.

What Makes Dr. Gregory Burzynski Different?

• More energy
• Better sleep
• Clearer thinking
• Less bloating or stomach pain
• Balanced moods
• Fewer flare-ups from chronic conditions

What now?
