Hunter Yost, MD, DAAPM

“I am interested in personalized medicine. Each person is unique in terms of biochemical makeup, environmental influences and lifestyle choices. This means that two people with the same complex chronic illness or autoimmune dysfunction will manifest symptoms and respond to treatment differently. My diagnostic testing and treatments are uniquely designed around each patient’s biochemical individuality.

I welcome patients with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), irritable bowel syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS and Sjögren’s – patients most other doctors cannot or will not treat. That’s what functional medicine is all about: reducing the patient’s pain and restoring optimal function through noninvasive and non-narcotic treatment, including dietary and lifestyle changes.”
