Health Symptoms

Understanding Your Health Symptoms: A Functional Medicine Approach

At Patients Medical in New York City, we believe that chronic symptoms are signals from your body—not nuisances to silence with temporary fixes. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, bloating, joint pain, or brain fog, these are clues pointing to deeper imbalances that deserve personalized care.

Using a unique blend of conventional, holistic, and functional medicine, we help patients identify the root causes behind ongoing symptoms and offer integrative, natural solutions that heal the whole person.

What Are Health Symptoms Trying to Tell You?

Everyone experiences symptoms—but when they persist, worsen, or seem mysterious, it’s time to dig deeper. Common chronic symptoms may include:

  • Persistent fatigue or lack of energy
  • Frequent headaches or migraines
  • Bloating, constipation, or digestive issues
  • Joint pain, inflammation, or stiffness
  • Hormonal imbalance (PMS, hot flashes, low libido)
  • Skin issues like rashes or acne
  • Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
  • Insomnia or sleep disturbances
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Brain fog or memory lapses

Rather than masking these symptoms, our team investigates why they’re happening using advanced testing and whole-body assessments.

Why You Have Symptoms: Root Cause Medicine

Functional medicine is the science of “why.” Here’s what might be driving your symptoms:

Real Patient Journey: James, Age 47 – From Chronic Fatigue to Vibrant Health

James came to us struggling with unrelenting fatigue, joint stiffness, and brain fog. Routine labs were “normal,” but he knew something wasn’t right.

We performed advanced testing and found:

  • Leaky gut
  • Low testosterone and thyroid
  • Mold exposure
  • Nutrient depletion

James began a 4-month integrative program that included:
✅ Gut repair protocol
✅ Mold detox supplements
✅ Weekly IV nutrient therapy
✅ Hormone balancing and adrenal support

Today, he’s back to hiking, clear-headed at work, and symptom-free.
