Root-Cause Analysis
We investigate biochemistry, gut health, hormones, and lifestyle to find why symptoms appear, not just what they look like.

Beyond Symptom Management
Functional Medicine.
Where conventional medicine has failed to find the answer, functional medicine asks the next question. We address complex chronic conditions by treating the whole biology, not just the diagnosis.
Our Approach
Four pillars of functional care.
Whole-Person Assessment
A deep look that goes beyond a standard checkup: micronutrients, food sensitivity, hormonal health, and gut microbiome factors, translated into a personalized care plan.
Personalized Care Plan
Your protocol is built around your biology, your history, and your goals, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Ongoing Optimization
Functional medicine is iterative. We measure, adjust, and refine until you're not just less sick, you're well.
Care Pathway
Personalized Clinical Care.
Designed for individuals dealing with more complex or ongoing health concerns who are looking for a deeper, highly individualized functional medicine approach.
This doctor-led care focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness through a personalized care plan, advanced treatment protocols, ongoing clinical guidance, and close follow-up management care.
Ideal for those struggling with chronic symptoms, complex illness, multiple health concerns, or conditions that have not fully improved with conventional approaches.

The Visit
How a functional medicine visit works.
This is the same pathway in every state we serve. What changes by state is whether a clinic is nearby and what time the video visit lands on your clock. Those details are on the state pages. Licensing, your care team, and what a visit costs are confirmed with you on the consult. They are not guessed on this page.
The free 30-minute consult
The first step is a complimentary 30-minute call with Dr. Chris Chianese, MS, DC, CPSC, IFM FMCP. It is a fit check. You talk through why you are calling. It is not a treatment visit, and it is not a diagnosis.
Use it to find out whether Personalized Clinical Care is the right path. If you are proactively focused on energy, longevity, hormones, or metabolism, the 12 Health Optimization Programs may fit better. If the case is complex, ongoing, or has not improved with conventional care, this clinical pathway is the one to discuss.
If you continue
The clinical visit reviews your health history, current symptoms, and goals, then whether a personalized care plan makes sense for your case. From there the work is a comprehensive plan, a treatment approach built around your history, ongoing clinical guidance, and close follow-up.
That conversation can happen by secure video from any of the nine states, or in person at Merchantville or Chalfont if you would rather be in the room. Video does not shorten the agenda. It changes where you sit.
What this program is for
Functional medicine here is aimed at complex, chronic, multi-system problems: fatigue and energy, digestion and gut health, hormone imbalance, autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease and other tick-borne illness, inflammation and pain, brain fog and mood, and metabolic health. If you've been told everything looks normal and you still do not feel well, bring that to the consult. Dr. Chris's own history with chronic Lyme, and how this clinic approaches it, is on the Lyme disease page. His training is on meet the doctor.
The consult is also where a case can be turned away. Not every symptom picture is one we should take. That is the point of the free call.
