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, vitality, and long-term resilience. Our Functional Medicine services in Grosse Pointe and the Detroit area shift the focus from simply managing symptoms to uncovering the root causes of illness and creating personalized care plans for whole-body wellness.

Through comprehensive diagnostic testing, we identify early warning signs of disease and highlight areas for improvement before they become serious. Our goal is to help patients take a proactive approach to health—optimizing energy, metabolism, hormone balance, immune function, and long-term disease prevention.

Unlike traditional medicine, which often stops at diagnosis and prescription, functional medicine addresses the root problem. By considering the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health, we treat the whole person, helping patients move beyond illness toward lasting wellness and vitality.
