About Hyperion Functional Medicine
Unlike the traditional approach to medicine, which focuses on WHAT (diagnosis and prescriptions to address symptoms), our team at Hyperion takes a much more holistic approach. By focusing on WHY your symptoms manifest the way they do, and possibly what is driving your cancer at a cellular level. We seek to identify the root cause behind your chronic disease so that we can craft a personalized wellness plan just for you.

Values Of Care
A Functional Medicine Approach: Educate, Inspire, Empower
We first educate patients to help them understand the root cause of their health issues, and then inspire them with the confidence they need to overcome. We empower them with the knowledge and tools to avoid many of the pitfalls that created their illness or imbalances in the first place. No matter where you are right now, our expert guidance can help you heal and lead a vibrant life!
Guided step-by-step by our care team, you will implement the approach needed for your healing. Drawing from the most up-to-date in functional and lifestyle medicine, you will have all that you need to significantly improve your health and alleviate bothersome symptoms.
Dedicated Attention
A nominal doctor's visit (time actually spent speaking with the doctor) may take about seven minutes; there is barely enough time to understand the depth of your illness...let alone the contributing factors that may have caused it.
At Hyperion, we take approximately an hour and 45 minutes during your in-depth intake consultation. This time allows for a thorough one-on-one review to understand all the potential triggers for your illness. This initial review includes your past medical history, your past and present diet, environment, stress levels and gut health. Your in-depth health history is the start to unravelling the root causes of your illness. Jen is allowing herself additional time to research your case and to offer the best options for functional care.
Personalized Care
Not only is each patient biologically unique, their illness is unique too. There are so many factors that may be to blame for your illness--lifestyle, food choices, allergies, toxins in your immediate environment. Plus let's not forget mindset, which plays a significant role in your health.
After we do your intake, we may conduct further specialty lab tests. Plus, we also use other assessment tools to get the full picture of your health so that with a precise diagnosis, we can come up with a precise "healing prescription."
Root Cause Resolution
Unlike some conventionally-trained doctors, our care team always focuses on getting to the root causes of your illness. We also examine the key cellular imbalances that are responsible for virtually all symptoms you’re experiencing right now.
Also known as functional medicine, our care is so effective because we focus on dealing with the "up-stream" catalyst of chronic illnesses--including toxicity in your home or place of work, potential food intolerances and allergies, gut & hormonal imbalances, along with mindset issue that all determine how healthy you are to date.
Co-Creating Health
Changing your lifestyle may seem daunting, but we teach you how to use mindset tools to overcome stubborn habits that aren't serving your wellness. We make the prospect of becoming healthy "fun" and have a wide range of tools in place to support you during your health transformation and beyond.
We also leverage health coaching, support from a certified functional nutritionist, and a functional medicine holistic psychotherapist so your new healing lifestyle practices can become an integral part of your everyday life.
Innovative Treatments
Did you know that it takes an average of 17 years for clinical breakthroughs to be adopted into a conventional doctor's office?
At Hyperion, we are trained in up-to-date medicine--including the best, most advanced functional laboratory testing, and we pair that with current nutritional science so that you can achieve your health goals.
