How We Treat
Functional Medicine in Houston
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a comprehensive approach to healthcare that addresses the root causes of disease rather than masking symptoms. At KALE Functional Medicine in Houston, we focus on understanding the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors that influence long-term health and chronic disease.
Unlike conventional medicine, which often relies on prescription medications to mask symptoms, our holistic medicine approach investigates why those symptoms exist in the first place. As a premier functional medicine clinic in Houston, we provide personalized care plans that consider your unique biochemistry, health history, and wellness goals.

Patient
Melissa Bassett was so helpful to my daughter. We went in there after being sent to so many different doctors. My daughter is feeling so good and is really focusing on gut health. We are extremely grateful for this practice and could not be happier.
Jody
Patient
Wonderful experience with Nurse Bassett. No other GP has recommended additional labs or further tests for me and it has been years of anxiety and confusion. Grateful for an amazing staff that is willing to listen and try to get to the bottom of what the health issue is.
