Functional Medicine
Under the direction of Frank Trombetta, D.Sc.
Functional Medicine is the field of health care that employs assessment and early intervention to improve physiological, emotional/cognitive, and physical function. This health care approach focuses attention on biochemical individuality, metabolic balance, living and work environments, and unique personal experience in the dynamics of health. The discipline of Functional Medicine was developed to help doctors find the underlying causes for a patient's chronic illness.
A key goal in Functional Medicine is to integrate knowledge across a wide range of health related disciplines. The Functional Medicine approach to the treatment of chronic disease is one that is based not on one agent or approach as the curative solution. It is holistically centered and based on the principle of restoration of proper metabolism, balancing the endocrine system, restoring homeostasis through reducing cumulative toxicity and oxidative stress to the body. This allows normalization of cellular respiration, cellular energy production and to a reduction of the signs and symptoms of chronic disease.
“I can tell you that everything that was suggested for me worked. Here are just a few of the benefits which I have noticed since I became a patient: my energy levels have improved to a point where I no longer need a nap to make it through the day, I no longer take prescription drugs for acid reflux( I had taken them for 10 years), I lost 20 pounds, my mental retention has improved noticeably, my blood sugar levels have dropped significantly, my pH level is exactly where it should be, my bad cholesterol and triglycerides are down and good cholesterol is up. I feel great at 58!!”
- John Sheiry, Owner/ Innkeeper Waverly Inn
“Frank takes a holistic and very individual approach to wellness. My recovery involved Frequency Specific MicroCurrent, an allergy free diet, and high quality supplements as well as testing for heavy meals, food allergies, and parasites”

“I have been a patient of Frank Trombettas' since November of 2006. At the time I went to see Frank, I weighed 227 pounds, even though I was eating no more than 800 calories a day. I had no energy. I could barely manage to get through a day on the job, and when I got home all I could do was sleep. Most of my weekends were spent sleeping as well” (see Testimonials, Lisa Ochoa).
