FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CENTER
YOUR BODY CAN HEAL ITSELF WITH THE RIGHT ADVICE & TREATMENT
Functional Medicine ensures the treatment you’re prescribed takes multiple triggers of illness into account. If there is further investigation needed to pinpoint exactly why you are dealing with a particular issue, we can help by using advanced testing. We can then advise you on the best natural treatment protocol to either replace or complement your current plan. Find out more about each service and its benefits below. If you’re not sure what therapy is right for you, contact us today, and we can guide you towards the first step in your health journey.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine is a biology-based scientific approach that prioritizes an investigation into what is truly causing an illness and addresses the root cause with natural, evidence-based treatments. Functional medicine concentrates on the detoxification of the body and resolving environmental triggers that cause ill-health.
- Triggers and amplifies your body’s natural healing response with natural treatments.
- Identifies harmful toxins and offers you natural remedies to rid your body of them.
- Equips you with the tools and education needed to avoid harmful environmental toxins such as pesticides for you and your family.
Advanced laboratory testing to dive deep into your biology may include:
- DUTCH test or ZRT test looking at your hormone levels including evaluating your adrenals and cortisol production
- GI Effects® Comprehensive Profile or GI360 stool tests that assess digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome to assist in the management of gastrointestinal health.
- Cyrex Food Allergy and Sensitivity Screening
- Genova NutrEval for evaluating deficiencies in key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and the need for digestive support.
- Doctor's Data Urine test to evaluate the presence of unwanted heavy metals in your system/Great Plains Laboratory for non-metal toxins.
- Great Plain Labs MycoTox or Quad Mycotoxin panel for comprehensive analysis for mold.
- We also work with labs that can identify particular biochemical and genetic markers including your methylation profile that can be absolutely beneficial in personalizing a comprehensive dietary and nutraceutical treatment plan, such as the StrateGene® DNA test
WELLNESS & PREVENTION
Our passion is to put a dent in the global chronic disease epidemic through education and self-empowerment.
- Integrative, 360 degree approach to sustainable weight loss including evaluation and treatment of predisposing factors. Signs of insulin resistance and fatty liver are your body sounding an alarm. This is not just about diet and exercise, if you want to keep the weight off for good.
- Strategies for early detection and prevention for age-related cognitive decline
- COVID-long haulers
- Implement toxin-avoidance and treatment strategies to reduce risk of chronic disease. This is also crucial for those couples who are planning to start a family.
- Workers who work more than 50 hours a week and night shift workers are at significantly increased risk for chronic disease. Learn how some of the contributing factors can be mitigated.
- Slow down aging and enhance longevity with a comprehensive approach including improving autophagy (a protective mechanism of the cell whereby it can recycle proteins that it needs to survive and remove damaged organelles). Autophagy helps reduce the risk of arterial disease among other diseases such as cancer.
- Improvement of sexual health.
PEPTIDE THERAPY
We are the only wellness center in Great Falls to offer this treatment and are well-known for its incredible results. Peptide therapy uses peptides (which occur naturally in the body) to send signals to specific cells in the body. These signals tell your cells to either regenerate, multiply or halt growth. Peptide therapy treats a wide range of illnesses but is most common in patients dealing with stress or sex disorders, obesity, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and osteoporosis.
- Delays the aging process of your body and mind.
- Increases muscle mass, sex drive, bone density and energy levels.
- Strengthens the immune system.
FREQUENCY SPECIFIC MICROCURRENT
Frequency specific microcurrent (otherwise known as FSM) is a safe and completely painless procedure which involves targeting specific pathology and specific tissues of the body with low-strength electrical currents using an FDA approved device. The electrical currents used in FSM are in the order of a millionth of an ampere (microamps), the same current your cells naturally operate at. The combination of frequencies used in the treatments are in the .01 to 999 Hz range. These frequencies have been shown to be of great value to a wide range of health concerns. FSM treatments cause a dramatic increase in the energy currency of our cells (ATP production) which is used to drive the many biochemical processes in the body. This is why we see an increase in protein synthesis and cellular transport with FSM exposures. In addition, a decrease in the proteins involved in creating and maintaining inflammation occurs, which means less inflammation for you. These are all processes that are vital to the healing process for acute or chronically damaged tissues.
This therapy works incredibly well for those who experience nerve, joint or muscular pain, or for those with issues related to scar tissue and adhesions. The frequencies to reduce inflammation have helped thousands of people with conditions such as asthma, headaches, TMJ, liver problems, irritable bowel, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, osteoarthritis, lymphedema, cardiovascular disease, anxiety/depression, PTSD, and many other conditions.
- Can help reset the nervous and immune system after chronic toxin exposure or infection.
- Can serve as a diagnostic tool in terms of etiology of condition using biofeedback.
- Repair sports, worker's and auto accident injuries much quicker than traditional methods; often three-fold increase in healing time with a more complete / long-term healing.
- Can relieve mild to severe chronic pain.
- Improves cellular function and boosts the immune system.

INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY
We offer compassionate support for patients who are going through any type of cancer therapy including preparation for surgery, undergoing radiation and/or chemotherapy or support for those who are in remission from cancer and want to stay that way. Our board certified radiation oncologist Dr. Berna DeMalignon has a deep understanding of the effects of cancer treatment and cancer biology. She remains abreast of the research surrounding promising adjunctive safe cancer therapies, such as using hyperbaric oxygen as a radiosensitizer without detriment. Our personalized plans will be tailored to where you are in your journey.
Receive expert opinion early on at diagnosis regarding conventional treatment options, clinical trials, and develop a strategy on how to best prevent or mitigate cancer treatment side effects. We will also help you exploit natural health products and re-purposed pharmaceuticals that have been scientifically shown to stunt tumor growth and thus increase the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Your personalized plan will be multi-faceted with focus on how to create an inhospitable terrain for cancer and may include but not be limited to:
- Carefully curated nutritional plan that will starve the cancer but still boost your immune system, mood and energy levels.
- Simple measures you can take to prepare for bone marrow transplant to give your stem cells the boost they need for the best chance at a safe, healthy recovery.
- Learn which natural supplements to NOT take, as some can provide fuel for cancer cells.
- Optimize your gut bacteria (microbiome) as to positively impact your response to immunotherapy.
- Learn about our tools to help with lymphedema or fibrosis from cancer treatment.
- Learn how the details surrounding radiation therapy can be optimized to give a chance for an abscopal effect (meaning targeting one area with radiation may cause other tumors far away from the target shrink or disappear).
OZONE THERAPY
Like our hyperbaric oxygen therapy, Ozone therapy also uses oxygen to revitalize the body and reduce pain. Ozone therapy works differently, in that a stronger form of oxygen is administered to specific parts of the body in small amounts via gas or water. Ozone therapy kills off microorganisms and boosts the regeneration process of cells in the body.
- Reduces the occurrence of chronic infections.
- Treats chronic fatigue and chronic inflammatory conditions involving the bladder, colon or sinus.
- Fights infection and inflammation of the tissue.
BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy or BHRT can be taken in the form of a cream, injection, patch, or pellets and is the best natural solution to hormonal imbalances. Our BHRT evaluates your unique hormone levels and works with you continuously to improve the symptoms of imbalances and have you feeling yourself again. BHRT is commonly prescribed to our menopausal patients but can also be used to treat certain cancers, fibromyalgia and thyroid disorders.
- Increased libido.
- Reduces symptoms of anxiety or depression.
- Fewer hot flashes and sweats.
LOW DOSE NALTREXONE
When administered correctly and in low doses, Naltrexone can give incredible relief to patients of chronic pain, fatigue, cancer, Crohn's disease and autoimmune diseases, and more.
- Improves mood and overall well being.
- Reduces swelling, inflammation and pain.
- Supports cell function, growth and repair.
- Studies on multiple sclerosis patients have shown that it can halt the progression of their disease by 8-10 years with regular use of this medication.
- Anxiety, depression or PTSD patients can find improvement of their mood from this treatment. Research also shows promise of using this drug as part of a personalized cancer healing protocol by enhancing healthy immune defenses.

PHOTONWAVE LIGHT THERAPY
The PhotonWave system is a light-emitting ocular stimulation device that has been developed, tested, and perfected by scientists, medical experts, and holistic-health practitioners over the past 30+ years. The device origins stem from Dr. Harry Spitler's work as founding father of the field of Syntonic Optometry in the 1920's, which in plain English refers to light therapy for the eyes. Customized protocols, employing combinations of colors, pulse rates, and exposure times, are available for a wide range of conditions. This safe, non-invasive method engages different parts of the brain that play key roles in stimulating detoxification and regulation processes of the body. This usually results in improved function of the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system. Imbalances in these areas are at the root cause of most conditions. Treatments are typically given a few times per week and each session lasts under 15 minutes. The number of PhotonWave sessions needed to achieve certain results will vary by individual and will typically be greater for chronic versus acute conditions.
Here are some examples of what PhotonWave Light Therapy can help you with:
- Detoxify the body from environmental toxins
- Treatment for parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungi
- Eye Conditions (Glaucoma/Myopia/Macular Degeneration, Visual Acuity)
- Allergies
- Migraines
- Mental or physical shock and trauma, including concussions
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia
- Neurodegenerative disorders
- Balance Hormones
- ADHD/ADD/Dyslexia/Learning Disabilities
- Depression/Emotional well-being
- Coping with and overcoming addictions (smoking, over-eating, alcohol, etc.)
- Balance the autonomic nervous system
