Restore Your Health, Protect Your Brain, Reclaim Your Vitality
- Aging does not have to mean declining health, growing dependence on medications, or accepting memory loss as inevitable.
- At Dr. Gaila’s practice, seniors receive compassionate, personalized functional medicine care designed to uncover why symptoms occur and create a clear, achievable plan to help your body heal .
- Functional medicine considers the whole person—physical, emotional, and environmental—rather than treating isolated symptoms. Every senior receives an individualized care plan based on their unique history, lifestyle, genetics, and lab findings. This approach allows us to move beyond temporary fixes and focus on lasting improvement in energy, clarity, mobility, and overall quality of life.
Why Seniors Choose Functional Medicine
- Many older adults come to us feeling frustrated: they’ve been told their labs are normal, yet they still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, digestive issues, or memory changes. Conventional medicine often manages symptoms with medications alone. Functional medicine goes deeper.
- Our goal is to identify and address the root causes of chronic health concerns— such as inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, gut issues, and toxic exposures—so your body can begin restoring balance from within.
- As these underlying issues are corrected, many seniors experience meaningful improvements and are often able to reduce reliance on medications under proper supervision, replacing them with nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and targeted supplementation that support true healing.
Specialized Support for Brain Health, Memory, and Cognitive Decline
- Dr. Gaila is a Certified Apollo Health Practitioner, specially trained in advanced, science-based protocols for addressing cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. Using the Apollo Health (Bredesen) approach, she evaluates multiple contributors to memory loss— such as inflammation, nutrient depletion, hormonal changes, metabolic issues, and environmental toxins—rather than simply masking symptoms.
- This comprehensive approach offers hope and practical direction for seniors and families seeking proactive, personalized cognitive care.
Common Senior Health Concerns Dr. Gaila Addresses
- Functional medicine can support a wide range of age-related conditions, including:
- Brain Health & Memory – cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s, dementia, brain fog
- Heart Health – addressing blood sugar imbalance, inflammation, stress, hormone changes, and nutrient deficiencies
- Blood Sugar Imbalance & Diabetes – identifying thyroid issues, inflammatory diets, omega-3 deficiency, toxins, and gut dysfunction
- Arthritis & Joint Pain – calming chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, and metabolic stress
- Digestive Problems – low stomach acid, enzyme insufficiency, slow gut movement, microbiome imbalance, effects of medications, processed foods, glyphosate exposure, and stress
- Allergies & Fatigue – often driven by gut dysfunction, hormone decline, nutrient depletion, toxic burden, unstable blood sugar, and poor sleep
- Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we carefully evaluate your specific contributors and build a plan around them
How Functional Medicine Works for Seniors
Your care is built on two powerful pillars:
- Advanced Diagnostic Testing
- Because no two seniors are alike, we use comprehensive testing to gain clarity and precision. Depending on your needs, this may include:
- Gut microbiome testing (tailored for seniors)
- Genetic testing
- Comprehensive blood panels
- Urine hormone testing
- Nutrient testing (vitamins, minerals, omega 3/6/9)
- Heavy metal and toxicity testing
- Sleep apnea screening
- Cognitive assessments
- These insights allow us to stop guessing and start targeting exactly what your body needs
- Personalized Treatment Plans
- Your results guide a customized program that may include:
- Nutrition Therapy– whole, nutrient-dense foods while removing inflammatory triggers such as sugar, packaged, and ultra-processed foods
- Gut Healing– removing harmful organisms, replacing enzymes, and restoring balance with prebiotics and probiotics
- Targeted Supplements – such as multivitamins/minerals, vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, adaptogenic herbs, and others based on your labs
- Detoxification Support – gentle protocols when toxic burden is identified
- Lifestyle Optimization – improving sleep, increasing safe movement, and reducing daily toxin exposure
- Stress Regulation – mindfulness, breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and nervous system support to calm fight-or-flight hormones
- Every recommendation is chosen specifically for you — your labs, your symptoms, and your goals
