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 treating 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.

About us
Our Functional Medicine Practitioners
KALE Functional Medicine is led by Dr. Miiko Rowley, a board-certified Family Medicine physician with advanced certification from the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). Our Houston-based team of functional medicine specialists combines conventional medical training with extensive experience in holistic and integrative approaches.
Patient Success Stories
I was happy to find a female – personal preference – doctor (MD) who could assist with all of my medical needs versus a nurse practitioner or chiropractor who was also doing holistic medicine. Dr. Rowley’s smile and compassion put me at ease immediately…
