Unlocking Health: The Personalized Path of Functional Medicine

A new way to treat illness is by using Functional Medicine, this method is different from the conventional way of treating illness, which typically focuses on reducing symptoms rather than finding and treating the underlying causes of those symptoms. Functional medicine takes into account how different areas of the body impact one another, so when an individual is suffering from an imbalance in one part of the body this can create health problems in other parts of the body. At Allure Compounding Pharmacy, we support the functional medicine approach to treating health issues through the use of customized compounded medications. Our customized compounded medications are the most effective means for individuals to receive Functional Medicine Treatment Plans.

Functional medicine can be pictured as a form of health detective work. Doctors who practise functional medicine take the time to listen to your health history and examine the combination of genetics, environment, and lifestyle that could affect long-term health and cause Chronic Disease. They will also ask you “Why?” They want to know why you are experiencing fatigue, digestive issues, or chronic pain. The purpose of functional medicine is to build a complete view of your health on every level — biologically and socially — rather than just making a diagnosis based on symptoms.

Functional medicine can be helpful if you are still struggling to get definitive answers from traditional medical care. Functional medicine has a very high level of success with many chronic and complex illnesses including autoimmune diseases, hormone disorders, gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, SIBO), metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. Functional medicine works to restore full function and vitality by addressing the underlying cause(s) of an individual’s illness (chronic inflammation, dysbiosis, nutritional deficiency) rather than simply managing symptoms over an extended period of time.

At Allure Compounding Pharmacy, we are an ideal partner in the world of functional medicine due to our expertise in creating individualized solutions. Functional medicine requires that solutions be tailored specifically for the individual. Traditional medications generally contain fillers and dyes and dosing that may not conform to the specific recommendations from your provider. Allure Compounding Pharmacy has the insight and specialty compounding pharmacists who will work closely with your functional medicine provider to create customized medications for you.

By removing allergens and/or excipients that cause issues, combining medications together into one dose that works well with others, and creating custom formulations that can’t be found anywhere else, we have developed many formulations that aren’t currently available through retail pharmacies (e.g., a bio-identical hormone cream; a low-dose naltrexone capsule; a liquid Supplemental for kids; topical creams used to treat neuropathic pain). In essence, the synergy of your individualised treatment plan creates a solid form to treat the way your body’s biochemical makeup has been designed.

At Allure Compounding Pharmacy, we believe you are in charge of your own health journey, and we provide you with the individualized tools to assist you in making positive dietary modifications, reducing stress levels, and implementing lifestyle changes based on your functional medicine prescription. When we work together with both practitioners and patients, the compounded medications prescribed will be part of the larger goal of helping achieve systemic balance and returning the patient to a state of wellness.

Choose to view yourself as a complete individual, rather than simply as a case number in a medical file. Experience how the functional medicine concept, enhanced by the unique and customized compounding available through Allure Compounding Pharmacy, will enable you to reach new heights of thriving wellness.

The FDA does not review any compounded drugs to evaluate their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they reach patients.
