Dr. Donna Kulp, DC, DACBN, IFMCP, owner of Kulp Nutrition & Wellness Center, is offering new patients 10 percent off their initial visit to initiate their journey to better health. Kulp states, “Functional medicine is designed to focus on the root cause of disease, rather than symptoms.”

Functional medicine practitioners provide specific individualized care using diet, supplements and herbal formulas. The goal is to educate and empower patients to improve their lifestyle and quality of health.

“Functional medicine can address adrenal malfunctioning, GI issues, excessive inflammation or hormone imbalance, just to name a few,” advises Kulp. A functional medicine practitioner is concerned with checking the gut, heart, liver, kidney, thyroid, hormones, inflammatory markers and vitamin D levels to answer questions about health issues. “The more we know, the better understanding we have of what systems need support,” she says. “Test, do not guess.”
