Situated in Chicago’s Northwest Side, Logan Square is a premier destination for Chicago residents and tourists alike. Our Logan Square functional medicine doctor is here to help with all types of conditions.  We actively visit Logan's Square as one of our favorite destinations in the Chicago area. If you walk along the streets here, and you'll find beautiful boulevards lined with vintage buildings and a commercial corridor along Milwaukee Avenue that hosts to a long list of notable restaurants and bars.

At Naperville Integrated Wellness, we are happy to have Logan Square as a place for some amazing food.  For example, take Lula Café, it has been a Chicago staple for more than two decades. For an evening out we like to stop by Rosa's Lounge to see local blues musicians playing until late into the night or we might visit the Lincoln Lodge where they host comedians nearly every night.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE FOR LOGAN SQUARE RESIDENTS

It’s time for a radical change in healthcare. We want Chicagoans to experience the benefits of restoring their health instead of covering up disease with medications that more often than not leads to more disease. 

Here is something to think about…drugs have side-effects. What is a side-effect? Quite simply a new disease process that is being caused by the drug itself. When a drug works well, the new disease is less damaging or dangerous than the original disease being treated. 

Is this a terrible model? 

No, this is not a terrible model of healthcare; but would you agree the following would be a better model? 

Instead of trading biological dysfunction for more dysfunction, what if we improved function with no side-effects? What if you just felt better and were not putting yourself at greater risk for more disease? What if you work with your biology and your genetics for better health and more life? 

Does functional medicine really work? 

The simple answer is “yes.” Functional medicine works so well because it is working with your body and your biology. Traditional doctors and healthcare focus on disease, not health. The human body is extremely complex and is has a single goal…survival. 

Your body is working 24/7 to heal, restore balance and maintain health. Health is synonymous with life and disease with death. Functional medicine doctors look for the obstacles that are standing between you and health, between you and a better quality of life. The focus in on a greater degree of health and therefore a higher and more satisfying quality of life. 

Functional Medicine Approach to Healthcare for Logan Square Residents

Functional integrative medicine offers a comprehensive health perspective that is not utilized in the traditional medicine model.  Many doctors offer a standard strategy that begins with providing a diagnosis and ends with a prescription medication to treat a symptom.  Functional medicine is foundational medicine, the goal of which is to treat the whole person and re-establish health, not merely to eliminate a symptom.  The treatment is aimed first at removing the obstacles to healing and second, at restoring function. 

Another key component that we employ at Naperville Integrated Wellness is that we empower our patients to adopt a healthier lifestyle that is conducive to ongoing health.  We believe that health is a journey that is grounded in collaboration with our patients and their unique situations.  Many of our patients suffer from chronic health conditions that are not solved by a prescription and a 6 month follow up.  Through engagement, guidance, and support, we provide our patients with the tools to get back the health they desire so they can live their best lives.
