My Journey into Natural and Functional Medicine

Salena Rothenberger
Founder
After being devoted to understanding pain and dis-ease as I navigate autoimmunity in one of my children I know that many people are simply not heard by their conventional health-care providers. Worse, sometimes we bounce from specialist to specialist without ever really being given an answer or a plan of recovery. That may be your story – or you may just be searching for a life of profound health and energy, where your body is treated from the inside out, rather than being stuck with medications to treat symptoms, endlessly. Welcome to this site, here you will find information geared towards empowering you for a successful journey to restoring health and wellness. ~Salena

Why The Functional Perspective & Functional Health Mama
Too often, people think of “wellness” as something temporary, or worse, unobtainable. Their work with doctors ends up taking short-term steps to improve their life… and “wellness”… but often fall back to their less healthy routines once they are left to fend for themselves and rely on symptom management protocols designed for the masses. After seeing this happen with her own son, Salena Rothenberger, D.PSc, CHC, CFMP wanted to provide an opportunity which not only helped others to improve their gastrointestinal health, autoimmune disease, and overall wellness, but also give them the tools to continue their progress “infinitely”, long after they completed their program.

What Makes Us Different Than Other Health Centers?
The Functional Perspective was founded with the mindset of revolutionizing the approach to resolving chronic health issues such as: auto-immune diseases, gastrointestinal disorders and hormone imbalances with the premise that our body has the ability to heal. By embracing natural medicine principles through approaching symptoms as warning signs of imbalances we team with you to identify ways to support your body in winning the battle. It is through a natural, functional health approach that we gain health.

The Functional Perspective uses a systems restoration model to empower clients through education that explores the answers to the question “Why?” We delve into more than symptoms by critically examining digestion, hormones, lifestyle, relaxation and environmental exposures to customize a unique plan for you based on the five pillars of health: Rest, Nutrition, Activity, Stress Management and Digestion

Our Philosophy On Functional Medicine
Uncovering the reason why a disease manifests or why symptoms are present is the core concept and foundation of The Functional Perspective. Embracing the way our body was made to alert us to an immune response is a vital component to achieving a resolution and restoration of health. At the core of our philosophy is the understanding that our body is not broken, rather it has many ways to signal to us there is danger looming under the surface.
