How Functional Medicine Works
At Naples Center for Functional Medicine, we offer a full range of Functional Medicine services. In developing your treatment plan, we first get to know you and evaluate the genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors influencing your health.
Once we can identify key health-condition contributors, we examine the root of your imbalance and provide you with the tools to restore your health, and prevent and reverse disease.

Quicker and more effective than taking supplements orally, IV therapy infuses supplements directly into your bloodstream. Therefore, your body begins using them immediately without having to absorb them through digestion. IV therapy can be used to treat migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and to provide a general boost of immunity and energy. Best of all, our registered nurses perform this service in our relaxing infusion lounge.
Naples Center for Functional Medicine offers a variety of IV therapies including, FastVitaminIV, a proprietary blend of 19 health-promoting vitamins, minerals and amino acids. After receiving FastVitaminIV treatments, patients report feeling a “push effect” that includes a surge of energy, sensation of general happiness and a boost in mental clarity and focus.
Additional IV therapies we offer include:
- Brain optimization IVs
- Chelation therapy
- Glutathione IV
- High-Dose Vitamin C
- Hydration IVs
- Nutritional IVs
- Ozone therapy
Proper nutrition is very important for your health, but it can be challenging to get everything you need from diet alone. We will work with you to determine what supplements you need. In fact, we carry many supplements in our office, and we will order any additional supplements you might need. Additionally, we provide homeopathic remedies.
All of our supplements use organic ingredients wherever possible, and all of our supplements are third-party Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) registered.
We all know oxygen is essential to life, and that’s the power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO). This treatment involves breathing pure oxygen in a high-pressure chamber. It is an FDA-approved medical treatment that allows your body to take in more oxygen. Increased oxygen in your tissue and plasma enhances energy and eliminates toxins that build up in your system. Therefore, this treatment can be beneficial for many health conditions like Lyme disease, PTSD, Autism and many more.
At Naples Center for Functional Medicine, we have a state-of-the-art, free-standing Hyperbaric Oxygen facility. Here, your treatment is given by our Certified Hyperbaric Technicians. Click here to learn more about Hyperbaric Therapy.
