At Whole Self Wellness, Dr. Andrea Dameron brings over 30 years of medical experience to her practice of functional and integrative medicine. With certifications in functional medicine, health coaching, weight management, culinary nutrition, and homeopathy, Dr. Dameron is passionate about meeting clients where they are and guiding them to exceed their health goals. Through our comprehensive services, we bring these powerful approaches to life.
What Is Functional and Integrative Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease rather than simply treating symptoms. Instead of asking “What disease does this person have?” functional medicine asks “Why is this person sick?” and “What imbalances are causing these symptoms?” Through comprehensive testing, we uncover the underlying dysfunctions that may be contributing to your health concerns.
Integrative medicine combines the best of conventional medical care with evidence-based complementary therapies to treat the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. This approach recognizes that optimal health requires more than prescriptions alone. At Whole Self Wellness, integrative medicine means drawing from all the tools in the toolbox, from traditional pharmaceuticals and advanced diagnostics to nutritional counseling, lifestyle modifications, homeopathy, and functional testing, to create a comprehensive treatment plan uniquely suited to you.
Together, functional and integrative medicine provide a powerful framework for transformational healthcare. This is medicine that asks deeper questions, provides personalized answers, and partners with you on your journey to vibrant health.
Our comprehensive weight management program goes beyond quick fixes and fad diets. We take a multifactorial approach that begins with thorough lab work to understand your unique metabolic profile. Dr. Dameron combines her doctorate-level training in weight management and nutrition with GLP-1 therapies when appropriate, creating a sustainable support system tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.
Proper nutrition is foundational to optimal health. Our nutritional counseling services help you understand how food impacts your body and empower you to make informed choices that support your wellness goals. With Dr. Dameron’s certification in Culinary Nutrition, you’ll receive practical, evidence-based guidance that fits seamlessly into your daily life.
True wellness extends beyond what you eat to encompass how you live. Our lifestyle counseling addresses sleep patterns, stress management, physical activity, and daily habits that influence your overall health. We work collaboratively to identify sustainable changes that lead to lasting improvements in how you feel and function every day.
Understanding your body composition provides valuable insight beyond what the scale reveals. Our comprehensive assessments measure muscle mass, body fat percentage, and metabolic markers to give you a complete picture of your physical health. This data informs personalized treatment strategies and helps track meaningful progress over time.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is designed to help restore balance when natural hormone levels decline or become disrupted. Using hormones that are structurally identical to those your body produces, BHRT may support improvements in energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, and sexual health. At Whole Self Wellness, treatment begins with comprehensive lab testing and a detailed symptom review to ensure therapy is personalized and carefully monitored. Our goal is to correct underlying imbalances safely and thoughtfully so you can feel more stable and supported in your daily life.
