  • "I want to share some positive things the program Journey to a Brighter Tomorrow has done for me. I feel better! More energy! My gut is better! Feeling stress less, meaning when a stressful situation comes along, I can handle it better. In my case I just needed a motivator. Mindset is very important and this program affirmed mindset. Did the program motivate me to make some changes? YES! Do I feel better? YES! Thank you Dr. Kimsey!

    -K. Rogers (Georgia)

  • “When my primary care physician retired I was soon introduced to his replacement, Dr. Kimsey. Admittedly, I was not, then nor now, an easy case or patient. But through it all I have always been able to count on him.  For 9 years he has been a constant in my life and care - always professional, thorough, knowledgeable, articulate and EXTREMELY compassionate. He's a doctor that actually listens to his patients and gives them the time they need with him - NOT the industry standard 8 to 10 minute visit, which is prevalent with most physicians today. I have recommended and will continue to recommend him to anyone in need of quality medical care. He's definitely a "10" in my book!”

    -J. Shreve (Georgia)

FAQ

  • Functional medicine is a branch of medical science that looks at the whole person to get to the root of the problem of a health condition.  Functional medicine practitioners use their specialized training and scientific techniques to find the root causes of complex illnesses. They work holistically, considering the full picture of the physical, mental, emotional, and sometimes even spiritual health of their patients.

    They investigate for multiple factors (root causes) that may be causing a single condition, or one root cause that is causing multiple conditions.

    Functional medicine practitioners understand that everyone is different and unique—from their genetics to their biochemical makeup. They consider factors like one’s nutritional status, gut health, genetics, hormonal status, metabolism, toxin exposure, as well as living environment and lifestyle.

    Utilizing an extensive patient history, physical examination, and lab testing, a functional medicine practitioner works to help identify root cause issues affecting their patient’s health and then designs a targeted and personalized treatment plan to bring one’s body back into balance and thus improve their overall health.  Functional medicine is ideal for people with chronic illnesses that aren't easily managed by conventional medical techniques.
