What We Do

Core Wellness specializes in functional medicine, a holistic approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness. Unlike traditional medicine that often concentrates on treating symptoms, functional medicine delves deeper into understanding the intricate interactions between your genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve sustainable health and vitality.

Dr. Carolyn Finnegan and her team conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate all aspects of your health. By employing advanced diagnostic techniques and considering factors like nutrition, lifestyle habits, and stress levels, we create a detailed map of your health landscape. This allows us to develop a customized treatment plan that may include nutritional counseling, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and targeted supplementation.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, or any other health concern, Core Wellness is committed to guiding you toward a path of healing and wellness. Our holistic approach not only alleviates symptoms but also promotes long-term health by fostering balance within your body and mind.
