Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is deeply science-based. The latest research shows that what happens within us is connected in a very complicated network.
Instead of asking “what drug matches up with this disease?”, functional medicine asks the vital questions that very few conventional doctors ask, such as; “Why do you have this problem in the first place? Why has function been lost?”
Most importantly…”What can we do to restore function?”

Foundational Health
“Over 2500 years ago the Father of Modern Medicine, Hippocrates, stated that all disease begins in the gut, and in my personal and clinical experience that has largely been the case.” - Dr. Stephanie Canestraro
THE ROOT CAUSE
An unhappy gut is the root cause of most common chronic complaints from anxiety to thyroid conditions, gastrointestinal issues, and even post-concussive symptoms.
80% OF IMMUNE SYSTEM
Your gut is the cornerstone to your immune system with over 80% of your immune system residing in the gastrointestinal tract (gut). A healthy gut is the driver for an overall healthy immune system.
SECOND BRAIN
The gut is your second brain, a two-way link between the central nervous system and the enteric system, and plays a vital role in mental and physical health.
HEALTHY GUT = HEALTHY LIFE
A healthy gut allows us to perform better in life - physically, mentally and emotionally. It also protects us from sickness and disease. “When in a rut, heal the gut.”

Testimonials
Vagus Clinic Patient
“I can’t thank Dr. Canestraro and her team enough for helping me to feel the best I have in years! I worked closely with my health coach Amy Foran, who always went above and beyond to answer all of my questions. It was only a week into my protocol when I noticed improvements in my sleep, mood, and overall well-being!”
