The California Center for Functional Medicine is a functional and integrative medical practice based in Oakland, California. It was founded by Sunjya Schweig, MD, and Chris Kresser to pursue an investigative approach to healthcare that emphasizes patient involvement. The clinic treats a broad range of chronic conditions, including digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, and hypothyroidism. Its typical patients are individuals who prefer to minimize lifelong drug dependence, want to uncover the root causes of their symptoms, and are ready to adopt dietary and lifestyle changes. Evaluations combine detailed questionnaires with a thorough medical history and examinations, along with laboratory testing that can include blood, urine, stool, and saliva analyses. Care plans may include nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, supplements, stress management, detoxification, and lifestyle modifications, with prescription medications used only when necessary to restore balance.
