Before you see another doctor, read this...

What is Functional Medicine and can it help me?

That’s a good question. And yes, it can help you.

Functional Medicine aims to find the root of your symptoms and help you become healthy by fixing the underlying dysfunctions, instead of masking the symptoms with medication.

Think of it this way. If the “Check Oil” light comes on on your car dashboard, you could just cover it up with a piece of tape so you don’t see that alarming red light anymore. But would that fix the problem?

Nope.

There’s still something wrong with the engine that caused the light to come on in the first place. So, the smart thing to do is let your mechanic fix things up, before your engine blows up, right?

The problem with most conventional approaches... 

Of course, there are many excellent conventional doctors, and when you need surgery or have broken my arm, you bet that's the first place to call. 

But for mysterious health conditions that don't go away, you shouldn't settle. 

The conventional approach to chronic health problems doesn't address the root cause of why your systems aren't functioning properly in the first place. 

the Functional Medicine approach is different. 

When it comes to addressing chronic health conditions, the Functional Medicine approach asks, “What’s the underlying cause, and how do we repair the entire system so that everything functions as it should?”

The Functional Medicine approach gets you on the road to feeling better— faster.*

You found Dr. Carpenter for a reason. You’re looking for help with an existing condition or maybe you’re looking to be proactive about staying healthy in the future. Either way, you’ve come to the right place.

Don’t wait to have a better life. Schedule you initial consultation now and let Dr. Carpenter create a custom health plan to get you feeling better sooner and keep you feeling great in the future.

Find the root cause and start feeling better today.

What makes Dr. Carpenter so different?

A message from Dr. Carpenter

I believe that finding the root causes of health problems is the key to true healing. And I also know how challenging it can be to find guidance and answers when it comes to health challenges. 

But my approach is different.

When we work together, we're not looking for a quick-fix solution or a way to simply cover up the symptoms (ie. give you a medication and send you home).

Instead, I help you uncover the deeper reasons you may be experiencing health issues, and we find the most effective, most natural, and most permanent options for your health.

And when you take this holistic, integrated approach to health, some really great things happen. You start feeling better. You may be able to reduce or compeltely eliminate the need for medications. And best of all, you get to go back to living the life you love without worrying about your health.

I'd love to help you take back your health. 

Shall we get started?

I've finally found someone who truly cares about my health...

I'm a believer! I can honestly say that I've finally found someone who truly cares about my health and well-being. For almost 7 years, I'd met with a variety of doctors for a host of seemingly unrelated health issues. Not one doctor/specialist ever spent the time to really talk to me and dig into my history like Dr. Carpenter did. Armed with LOTS of information, Dr. Carpenter set forth a plan of action to get me back to good health. Her plan did NOT include lots of prescriptions or unnecessary surgery. Her holistic approach makes perfect sense to me. I feel like I've been let down by the traditional medical community compared to the care and healing that I've received from Dr. Carpenter. My current good health is all the confirmation I need. Dr. Carpenter is an amazing doctor.

I'm thankful that I found her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to my family and friends!

Best decision ever!

Dr. Carpenter has made a huge difference in my life. Best decision ever!

David Isham

She is a caring doctor who truly desires to treat the whole person.

Finding Dr. Carpenter was truly an answer to prayer. I had seen multiple doctors for various issues from IBS-like problems to a chronic bladder infection-like feeling and no one could ever give me a reason for them or figure out how to get rid of them. I was suffering from fatigue in a way that even after getting a good night's sleep I would wake up wishing it was time for bed again. I also started gaining weight for no apparent reason.

Since seeing her my fatigue has gone away, I lost weight, my bladder infection-like feeling has gone away and I no longer have IBS issues... I take no drugs or harmful medications to get my Hashimoto's under control. I feel better than I have in years.

I highly recommend Dr. Carpenter. She is a caring doctor who truly desires to treat the whole person. She is passionate about what she does and has extensive experience and education in understanding the body and finding the core reason for someone's issues.

Her concern and approach are both refreshing and reassuring.

Dr. Avery has taken care of my family for about 5 years now. I cannot say enough about how professional and intelligent she is. Dr. Avery truly possesses a deep knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. Her concern and approach are both refreshing and reassuring - I feel and function so much better!
