Conditions We Treat
Functional medicine is especially helpful for adults experiencing chronic, complex, or recurring health concerns.
Dr. Roque focuses on understanding why symptoms are occurring and addressing the underlying imbalances that drive them.
Adrenal Health & Stress Resilience
Chronic stress can disrupt adrenal function and affect energy, mood, sleep, and immunity. Care focuses on restoring balance through stress management, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted nutritional support.
Digestive & Gut Health Concerns
The gut plays a central role in immune function, hormones, and overall health. Personalized protocols address factors such as food sensitivities, gut imbalances, infections, toxin exposure, diet, and chronic stress to support digestive healing.
Chronic Fatigue
Persistent fatigue can have many contributing factors. Dr. Roque takes a comprehensive approach that may include evaluating nutrition, gut health, infections, micronutrient status, thyroid function, and sleep patterns.
Migraines & Chronic Headaches
Headaches often have multiple triggers, including inflammation, dietary factors, stress, and environmental exposures. Treatment focuses on identifying individual patterns and addressing contributing factors at the root.
Mental & Emotional Well-Being
Emotional health and physical health are deeply connected. Care may incorporate mindfulness, stress reduction, self-compassion, and lifestyle practices that support mental clarity and emotional resilience.
Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid dysfunction often reflects a broader system imbalance. Dr. Roque combines lifestyle optimization with appropriate conventional and integrative therapies to support healthy thyroid function and overall metabolic balance.
Female Hormone Health
Concerns such as PMS, irregular cycles, early menopause, and fertility challenges are often linked to system-wide imbalances. A whole-body approach helps uncover and address the root causes affecting hormonal health.
Sleep Issues
Poor sleep impacts nearly every system in the body. Care involves identifying triggers and barriers to restful sleep while restoring healthy sleep habits that support long-term wellness.
Healthy Aging & Longevity
Aging is influenced by both genetics and lifestyle. Dr. Roque works with patients to create long-term strategies that support vitality, resilience, and longevity—helping you feel well now and for years to come.
Preconception Health
Optimizing health before pregnancy lays the foundation for future generations. Functional medicine supports hormone balance, nutrient status, and overall wellness prior to conception.
Skin Conditions
Skin issues such as acne, eczema, and chronic rashes often reflect internal imbalances. Care focuses on gut health, immune regulation, and reducing inflammation to support healthier skin from the inside out.
Autoimmune Conditions
Autoimmune diseases are frequently driven by chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. Care is centered on identifying triggers and calming inflammatory pathways associated with conditions such as Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and others.
Cardiometabolic Health
Conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes are often preceded by inflammation, insulin resistance, and lifestyle factors. Care focuses on improving metabolic health through nutrition, movement, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
Environmental & Food Sensitivities
Unrecognized food reactions or environmental exposures can contribute to inflammation and chronic symptoms. Personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies help reduce exposures and support overall resilience.
Weight & Metabolic Balance
Healthy weight is about more than calories. Care emphasizes balanced nutrition, gut health, sleep quality, movement, stress management, and realistic routines that support lasting metabolic health.
Male Hormone Health
Hormone imbalances in men are common and often overlooked. Treatment focuses on identifying underlying contributors and restoring balance to support energy, mood, and overall well-being.
