Tailored Treatment Plans for Your Healthcare Needs

Functional Medicine in Grosse Pointe


At Elevate Health GP, we believe true health is more than the absence of disease—it’s about achieving balance, resilience, and long-term vitality. Functional medicine shifts the focus from simply treating symptoms to uncovering the root causes of illness and promoting whole-body wellness.

Through advanced testing, we can detect early warning signs of disease and pinpoint specific areas for improvement. Our goal is to help patients take a proactive, personalized approach to their health—optimizing everything from energy and metabolism to immune function and long-term disease prevention.

Unlike traditional medicine, which often stops at symptom management, functional medicine takes a personalized and holistic approach that considers the physical, emotional, and even spiritual aspects of health. By addressing the underlying drivers of chronic conditions, we help patients move beyond illness and toward lasting wellness.

  • Bioidentical Hormones: What They Are & Why They Matter

    Bioidentical hormone therapy uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces, helping to restore balance during perimenopause, menopause, and other hormonal shifts. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical options are designed to match your body’s biology for a more natural, personalized approach. At our clinic, we use advanced testing to tailor treatment plans that support energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and long-term health—because balanced hormones are essential to feeling your best at every stage of life.

  • Oral-Systemic Health: What It Is & Why It Matters

    Oral-systemic health refers to the vital connection between the health of your mouth and the health of your entire body. Chronic oral infections, gum disease, and imbalances in the oral microbiome have been linked to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and autoimmune disorders. At our clinic, we go beyond routine dental care—we assess and treat the mouth as a gateway to total-body wellness, helping you address the root causes of chronic inflammation and restore balance from the inside out.

  • Digestive Health: Why It’s the Foundation of Wellness

    A healthy gut equals a healthy you. Your digestive system does more than just process food—it plays a key role in nutrient absorption, immune function, detoxification, and elimination. When the gut is out of balance, it can impact everything from energy and mood to skin, inflammation, and chronic disease. At our clinic, we address the root causes of digestive dysfunction—like food sensitivities, microbiome imbalances, and leaky gut—to help you heal from the inside out and feel your best every day.

  • Thyroid Health: The Master Regulator of Your Body

    The thyroid gland is the master conductor of your hormone health—playing a central role in regulating metabolism, energy, mood, weight, digestion, body temperature, and even heart function. When the thyroid is underactive or overactive, it can disrupt nearly every system in the body. At our clinic, we take a comprehensive, functional approach to thyroid care—looking beyond basic labs to uncover root causes like autoimmunity, nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalances—so you can restore optimal function and feel like yourself again.
