Personalized Medicine
Care built around you — not a textbook diagnosis.
Personalized medicine means your genetics, lifestyle, environment, and health history all shape your care plan — not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Dr. Comeaux draws from multiple evidence-based approaches to find what works best for you.
What Is Personalized Medicine?
Personalized medicine — also called functional or integrative medicine — treats you as a whole person, not a collection of symptoms. Rather than asking “what drug treats this condition?” we ask “why is this happening, and what does this person need to heal?”
Every care plan considers your:
- Genetics and family history
- Living and work environment
- Nutrition and lifestyle habits
- Emotional and mental well-being
- Complete health timeline from birth forward
Approaches We Use
Depending on your needs, Dr. Comeaux may draw from any combination of these evidence-based methods:
Western (Conventional)
The standard diagnostic and treatment framework — lab work, imaging, prescriptions, and evidence-based protocols.
Holistic
Treats all dimensions of health — physical, mental, emotional, social, and economic — as interconnected.
Functional
Identifies the root cause of illness using a deep dive into genetics, lifestyle, environment, and health history. Highly individualized.
Osteopathic
Similar to conventional medicine but considers every health issue from birth forward, with attention to the musculoskeletal system’s role in overall health.
Regenerative
Uses the body’s own repair mechanisms — including peptides, PRP, and stem cell strategies — to restore damaged tissues and organs.
Naturopathic
Prioritizes natural remedies — herbs, nutrition, homeopathy, and lifestyle — to support the body’s innate healing capacity.
Your Care Journey
Here’s what personalized care looks like from start to finish.
- Deep dive into your lifestyle, health history, and goals
- Identify patterns and weaknesses in tissues and organ systems
- Synthesize findings into a complete picture of what’s driving your symptoms
- Create a personalized diagnosis — not a generic label
- Design a treatment plan using the right combination of therapies for you
- Monitor your progress and adjust as needed
- Evaluate effectiveness and pivot if a better path emerges
- After healing, assess what triggered the original imbalance
- Ongoing support and prevention to maintain your gains
- Measure whole-body recovery — not just symptom resolution
Frequently Asked Questions
Is personalized medicine the same as functional medicine?
They overlap significantly. Functional medicine is one method used within a personalized or integrative framework. All functional medicine is personalized, but personalized medicine can also include conventional, osteopathic, regenerative, and other approaches.
How is this different from my regular doctor?
Conventional care typically addresses symptoms with a standard protocol. Personalized medicine goes deeper — asking why those symptoms exist and what your unique biology, history, and lifestyle reveal about the root cause.
Do I have to give up my current medications or doctors?
Not at all. Integrative care works alongside your existing providers. Dr. Comeaux will collaborate with your care team and never ask you to discontinue prescribed treatments without a safe, supervised plan.
What conditions does personalized medicine address?
Hormonal imbalances, fatigue, gut issues, autoimmune conditions, metabolic disorders, anxiety, cognitive decline, weight concerns, chronic inflammation, sleep problems, and healthy aging — among many others.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on the complexity of your situation. Many patients notice meaningful changes within 4–8 weeks. Deeper, lasting transformation typically unfolds over 3–6 months of consistent, collaborative care.
Does insurance cover this type of care?
Some services may be covered. Please review the Billing & Communication page for details on what we accept and how to use your FSA/HSA.
