Integrative and Functional Medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that looks beyond symptoms to find and treat the root causes of illness. At Snyder Plastic Surgery, this service expands our mission of helping patients look and feel their best, inside and out.

Led by Dr. Ruby Rose, MD, ABOIM, IFMCP, a double board-certified physician in Emergency and Integrative Medicine, this program offers evidence-based care designed to restore balance, optimize vitality, and support long-term wellness.

What Is Integrative & Functional Medicine?

Integrative and Functional Medicine combines conventional medical science with a deeper exploration of how lifestyle, genetics, hormones, nutrition, and environment affect overall health. Rather than focusing on a single diagnosis, this approach identifies underlying imbalances that contribute to fatigue, weight changes, hormonal fluctuations, and other chronic concerns.

Through comprehensive testing and individualized treatment plans, Dr. Rose helps patients uncover the “why” behind their symptoms and achieve sustainable improvements in health and energy.

Who Can Benefit & Areas of Focus

Dr. Rose personalizes each Functional Medicine plan to your unique needs and health goals. This approach is ideal for patients seeking proactive, whole-body care, whether you’re addressing chronic concerns or simply want to optimize your overall wellness.

Common areas of focus include:

  • Hormone Optimization (including menopause, thyroid, and adrenal health)
  • Weight Management & Metabolic Balance
  • Gut Health & Nutrition Support
  • Stress & Sleep Optimization
  • Preventive and Longevity Medicine
  • Women’s Health & Vitality

Functional Medicine helps uncover and correct the root causes of issues such as fatigue, weight fluctuations, brain fog, or mood changes. Whether you’re looking to restore energy, balance your hormones, or support recovery after aesthetic or surgical procedures, this comprehensive approach helps create lasting results that start from within.

Every treatment plan begins with in-depth diagnostic testing and a one-on-one consultation to help you understand your body and restore balance naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Medicine

How is Functional Medicine different from traditional medicine?

Traditional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating symptoms. Functional Medicine looks deeper, evaluating how various systems in the body interact to identify and treat underlying causes.

Does Dr. Rose prescribe medications or natural therapies?

Treatment plans may include both, depending on each patient’s needs. Dr. Rose combines conventional medicine with advanced functional testing, nutrition guidance, and hormone optimization.

Can Functional Medicine help if I already feel healthy?

Yes. Many patients use Functional Medicine as preventive care, optimizing energy, metabolism, and longevity before issues arise.

Is testing included in the first visit?

Initial lab orders are typically placed after your consultation once Dr. Rose determines which tests will provide the most insight into your health.

How long does it take to see results?

Many patients notice positive changes within weeks, while deeper hormonal or metabolic balance may take several months of guided care and follow-up.
