Functional Medicine McKinney, TX
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of your health concerns, rather than simply treating symptoms. It looks at your body as an inter-connected system, recognizing that each person is biologically unique, rather than a one size fits all approach. Our goal is to address the root cause and see your health restored as a result. This groundbreaking science is available to you in McKinney, TX.
How does it work?
In functional medicine, we take the time to understand you—your genetics, lifestyle, environment, and personal health history. Using this information, alongside functional testing we create a personalized care plan designed to restore your body’s natural function. Treatment often includes diet and lifestyle changes alongside supplementation which may include but not limited to: herbs, extracts, mixtures, vitamins, minerals, essential oils, creams, homeopathics, glandulars, etc. Treatment also includes the use of advanced equipment in Dr. Krone’s office.
Functional Medicine vs. Traditional Medicine
Unlike traditional medicine, which often relies on prescription medications or surgery to manage symptoms, functional medicine focuses on natural, non-pharmaceutical approaches. We aim to restore your body’s innate ability to heal by addressing lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental factors. This approach treats the whole person, not just a diagnosis, and avoids masking symptoms with medications whenever possible.

Common Health Problems We Address
Dr. Krone’s Approach | McKinney, TX
Dr. Krone takes functional medicine a step further by combining it with biofeedback testing (such as muscle testing and surface tension) to not only identify the problem, but identify where it is, what’s going to fix it, and how to keep it from coming back.
