At times in your life, you may be faced with symptoms that conventional medicine does not address well. Symptoms of peri-menopause and andropause can be confusing and can come on slowly, making their way into your life without you realizing what is happening. It is frustrating when conventional medicine can only assure you that everything is "fine". Dr. Marie Dam is a board certified Internist who is also extensively trained in Functional Medicine and Hormone issues who shares her unique perspectives by incorporating proven medical therapies with a holistic approach to your health. When the body has what it needs to function well, your metabolic processes work well and you feel great. Our goal is to try to recreate your perfect physiology at the core level and then the symptoms you are experiencing decline. When your body works like it should, you feel like you used to - even when you thought that was not possible again.

Testing
State of the art testing is important and is used extensively to help to evaluate many of the diagnoses patients are struggling with. Tests are tailored to each individual’s particular situation. Sex hormones levels and growth hormone levels can decline at any time in one's life or become imbalanced leading to many symptoms associated with peri-menopause, menopause, andropause and generalized decline. Optimum thyroid and adrenal function are a key to our energy levels and our ability to cope with stress and healing. Beyond this, cardiovascular and cancer risk factors which may run in families can be extensively analyzed and corrected proactively. For those who need it, sophisticated nutritional analysis of vitamin, mineral, fatty acids and anti-oxidant levels , amino acid levels, fatty acids and organic acids may give us key information what your body is actually absorbing , using and lacking nutritionally. Remember, it is not what we are taking but what we are getting that really matters.
