Integrative and Functional Medicine Approach to Parkinson’s Disease

At Toronto Integrative and Functional Medicine Clinic, we believe in addressing Parkinson’s disease (PD) not just as a neurological condition but as a complex interplay of multiple factors affecting your overall health. Our integrative and functional medicine approach offers a comprehensive pathway to understanding the root causes of your symptoms and creating a personalized plan to optimize your quality of life.

Understanding Parkinson’s Disease Through Functional Medicine

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and cognition. While conventional medicine focuses on managing symptoms with medications like levodopa, our integrative approach dives deeper to uncover underlying contributors, such as:

• Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
• Mitochondrial dysfunction and energy deficits
• Gut-brain axis dysregulation and microbiome imbalances
• Environmental toxin exposures (e.g., pesticides, heavy metals)
• Nutritional deficiencies and Hormonal Imbalances

By addressing these factors, we aim to slow disease progression, reduce symptoms, and improve overall well-being.

Why Choose Our Clinic?

• Comprehensive Assessments
  Our team conducts a thorough evaluation, including advanced lab testing to assess inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, gut health, and nutrient status. This allows us to develop a targeted, evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
• Personalized Treatment Plans
  We integrate functional medicine with nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and advanced therapies to support neurological health. Potential interventions include:
  • Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective diets (e.g., ketogenic or Mediterranean diets)
  • Targeted nutraceuticals like CoQ10, PQQ, NAC, Omega-3s, and Vitamin D
  • Detoxification support to reduce toxin burdens
  • Gut microbiome restoration for optimal brain health
  • Stress management and improved sleep hygiene
