what is functional medicine, and how does create health provide this type of care?

Functional medicine is a root-cause, science-based, personalized approach to health care. Functional Medicine comes from the understanding that we need to address the root cause of symptoms in order to facilitate healing in the body. It is a holistic way to provide conventional medicine.

As a Nurse Practitioner (NP), Monika Janus has the competence and the authorization to order and interpret labs and diagnostics, prescribe medicines and treatments and diagnose illness and chronic conditions. Monika is licensed, regulated, and in good standing with the Yukon Registered Nurses Association.

Some of the conditions that we treat at Create Health are chronic diseases (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, mental health etc), hormonal imbalances to autoimmune conditions. If there is something that is out of her expertise, Monika will let you know and refer on, or consult/collaborate with someone with more experience in that area.
