Fernando Porras MD, Online Functional Medicine
You are just a few steps away from recovering your well-being!
I’m an MD, who specializes in Functional Medicine, accredited by the Kresser Institute and by Apollo Health.
I consider everyone should have access to an integrative model independently of where you live.
My professional formation is influenced by one of the best medical systems in the world.
Why Functional Medicine with Porras MD?
We offer you the perfect combination of conventional and functional medicine. We are completely convinced that together, it’s an ideal benefit for anyone. There is no magic formula or a single treatment since everyone is different. For that reason, the step we must follow and the treatments we should take have to be personalized and unique to you.
How does it work?
The consultations are conducted through telemedicine offering you multiple benefits. You do not have to travel long distances, with availability that adjusts to your needs and with the peace of mind that your information will be 100% secure.
What is it based on?
Functional medicine sees the person as a whole being and not as a group of symptoms.
Every symptom is connected, when a part of your body is having difficulties it begins to send signals, sometimes confusing.
For this reason, a review of your genetics, environmental factors, habits and life history is the most important piece of the puzzle.
What labs and treatments we use?
We work with advanced laboratories for a thorough search, change of habits and additional help for the restoration of current deficiencies.
In USA we work with RUPA Health and for the rest of the world Nordic Labs.
