Adult and Pediatric Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease.

At Discovery Wellness Group, we work to uncover the underlying factors contributing to you or your child’s chronic symptoms.
Our Functional Medicine Visits feature:
1-Hour new patient appointment
Functional medicine laboratory recommendations based on history and current symptoms

Unique protocols and treatment plans based on laboratory results
Repeat testing to compare pre- and post-treatment
Ongoing care as needed to improve symptoms and/or promote healing

IV Therapy
With intravenous infusions, your body safely receives nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, which can allow the body to better absorb and deliver the nutrients in order to maximize health benefits. IV therapies can contain minerals, amino acids, vitamins, and/or detoxifying agents that have been shown to increase cellular energy production, maintain vital organ function, and improve blood flow.
Other positive effects include:
Improving memory and brain fog
Enhancing immune function
Decreasing oxidative stress
Opening detox pathways
Cleansing the body of free radicals and toxins
Promoting cardiovascular health
Increasing energy and metabolism
Treating nutrient deficiencies
Aiding in physical recovery
Restoring balance and homeostasis
IV therapy may help alleviate many symptoms of illness and diseases, including:
Viral and bacterial infections
Immune Dysregulation

Peptide Therapy
Peptides are the building blocks of proteins and are composed of amino acids that work to regulate a variety of biological functions and processes. These naturally occurring peptides act as signaling molecules within the body and instruct other cells and molecules on what functions to perform.
There are over 7,000 known peptides within the human body and though some may be similar each is responsible for facilitating a different response and action within the body. Some common functions of peptides include providing pain relief, aiding in soft tissue repair, accelerating healing processes, promoting weight loss and lean muscle gain, reversing symptoms of sexual dysfunction, and improving hormone production and cognitive function.
The unique property of peptides can be harnessed and used to treat specific conditions; this treatment process is known as peptide therapy
Though our bodies naturally produce peptides, the production of peptides can vary greatly and as we age, the number and quality of peptides within the body may decline.
Peptide therapy refers to restoring the number of peptides to stimulate cellular regrowth systems within the body as a treatment option for specific conditions. Peptides are typically administered directly into the bloodstream through subcutaneous injections, but may also be applied as topical creams, nasal sprays, or oral forms.
This form of treatment can be entirely customized to the patient’s unique needs and goals. By using this targeted method, we can produce a specific reaction in the body and treat a variety of conditions.
As stated above, peptide therapy is an extremely unique treatment option that can be used to treat a variety of concerns. Some of the benefits of peptide therapy can include but are not limited to the following:
Accelerate healing processes
Boost hormone levels
Build muscle mass
Decrease joint and muscle pain
Enhance cognitive function and memory
Help reverse symptoms of sexual dysfunction
Improve sleep quality
Increase levels of energy, stamina, and strength
Lower blood pressure
Promote healthy immune function
Reduce signs of aging
Stimulate hair growth
Stem Cell Therapy
When indicated, stem cells may be used for those trying to avoid or prevent surgery, particularly when it involves joint, muscle, tendon, ligament, or joint space narrowing injuries. It may be considered in those whom suffer from:
Pain in joints, ligaments or tendons
Arthritis
Joint strengthening
Acute and Chronic inflammation
Ligament and tendon repair
Tendinosis

PEMF Pulse Bed
What is PEMF?
PEMF, is a revolutionary wellness modality that utilizes soothing Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields to stimulate and exercise the body’s cells. PEMF, also known as High Energy Inductive Therapy (HEIT), is trusted worldwide to support the body’s natural healing and regulating abilities.
The earth emits a pulsing electromagnetic field at 7.8 hertz. This natural energy field, combined with around 8 million global lightning strikes per day, allows our planet to sustain life. Much like the earth, our bodies are electromagnetic; our brains use electromagnetic signals to communicate with every bodily system. Science has proven that if our cells have enough electrical charge, the body will heal itself!
PEMF is a holistic supplement that infuses the body with natural energy at the cellular level. The body may use that energy to:
heal and regenerate itself
enhance its natural recovery process
assist with muscle fatigue and discomfort after exercise
increase energy or support relaxation
balance the body’s interconnected systems
Benefits of PEMF Pulse
PEMF Pulse Sessions Assist in:
Inflammation
Pain Relief
Muscle Recovery
Injury Recovery
Nerve Recovery
Headaches
Detoxification
Sleep
Circulation
Central Nervous System Function
Immune Modulation
Energy Production
More Details on Benefits
Optimize Wellness Non-Invasively
PEMF generates energy at the cellular level without medically invasive procedures. Pulse’s line of exclusive accessories is built with anatomy in mind to effectively apply a pulsing electromagnetic field to the body without introducing any apparatus beneath the skin. Anatomically, the amplification of natural energy encourages the body to function more effectively for overall wellness.
Enhance the Body’s Natural Recovery Process
PEMF capitalizes on the body’s intelligence and incredible self-healing capabilities, encouraging the cells with natural energy to better perform their many functions. Whole-body PEMF provides a better long-term wellness solution and often yields unexpected benefits!
Assist with Muscle Fatigue & Discomfort After Exercise
Studies have shown, and users often report, that PEMF triggers a decrease in perceived muscle soreness. This, along with its effect on user energy levels, makes PEMF the perfect complement to training programs for high-performing professional athletes and weekend warriors alike.
Support General Relaxation
Many people experience PEMF as a soothing, restorative modality. In fact, studies have shown that PEMF has the ability to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (the body’s “rest and digest” response) at a pattern identical to that of manual acupuncture. Users have noticed a correlation between the Pulses Per Second setting allowed by the Pulse XL Pro and their state of rest or wakefulness, often attributed to mimicking certain brainwaves or the Schumann Resonances.
Experience More Energy, Naturally
According to research, the body’s cells are similar to batteries. They hold a charge and can become depleted of energy over time by environmental stressors. PEMF applies energy directly to the cell, and the body’s holistic nature uses that cellular energy as a catalyst for full-body energy. The innovative Pulse XL Pro allows ultimate customization of Magnetic Field Strength and Pulses Per Second, giving users the power to tap into energy, relaxation, or both depending on their needs.
Amplify Athletic Performance
Imagine what your body could do with less muscle fatigue, enhanced recovery, more energy, and relaxing, rejuvenating PEMF sessions. PEMF allows athletes to harness the power of natural energy to supplement their training and performance goals. High-performing athletes have credited Pulse PEMF with their ability to minimize downtime as they maximize the passive recovery benefit of PEMF.

“I suffered from pregnancy induced cholestasis in my previous pregnancy. I had excruciating itching that began at 8 weeks gestation. Traditional doctors struggled to get me through and I was induced at 30 weeks because of it. They told me I would have it in every pregnancy. This time around, I worked with Dr. Brooks and implemented her holistic protocol to avoiding cholestasis - and here I am at 36 weeks gestation and cholestasis free!!!”
