Find the Root. Not Just the Symptom.

Functional medicine is a root cause approach to health, identifying the underlying biological mechanisms driving symptoms rather than managing those symptoms with medication alone. It uses advanced diagnostic testing, detailed health history, and personalized protocols to address gut health, hormone imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, toxin burden, and the interplay between these systems.

Conventional medicine excels at diagnosing and treating acute conditions and disease states. Functional medicine addresses the biological terrain that precedes disease, the hormonal imbalances, gut dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, inflammatory burden, and mitochondrial inefficiency that drive chronic symptoms for years before they become diagnosable conditions. At Arbour Longevity, these two approaches are integrated, our clinician's Family Medicine board certification ensures conventional rigor alongside functional depth.

Arbour Longevity in Ann Arbor offers comprehensive functional medicine evaluation and ongoing care from a board-certified in Family Medicine, Psychiatric Mental Health, and Functional Medicine (Anti-Aging). We serve Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, Plymouth, Canton, and Southeast Michigan. Telehealth is available for Michigan residents for follow-up care.

Arbour Longevity's functional medicine evaluation begins with a comprehensive 75–90 minute intake covering your complete health history and symptom timeline. This is followed by standard labs and advanced testing as clinically indicated, including the DUTCH test for hormone metabolites, organic acids testing (OAT) for mitochondrial and metabolic function, and genomic panels for MTHFR and key SNPs. The result is a complete biological picture and a personalized protocol addressing every identified root cause.

Hormone therapy replaces or supplements hormones directly, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone. Peptide therapy signals your body to produce hormones and other compounds more efficiently, working upstream of the hormone itself. Many patients benefit from both as part of a comprehensive longevity protocol, hormones restore deficient levels while peptides may optimize the signaling environment that makes hormone therapy more effective.

Three things distinguish Arbour Longevity's functional medicine program. First, our clinician holds Anti-Aging alongside Family Medicine and Psychiatric Mental Health certifications, covering the full spectrum of chronic illness including its neurological and psychiatric dimensions. Second, integration, functional medicine patients have access to Arbour Longevity's hormone optimization, peptide therapy, IV therapy, and weight loss programs as part of a seamless clinical system. Third, ongoing care, Arbour Longevity provides continuous follow-up, not a report and a goodbye.
