Functional medicine seeks to re-imagine the practice of medicine by making use of recent advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, systems biology, physiology and nutrition. This allows functional medicine to beyond the identification of signs and symptoms and diseases to a deeper understanding of root causes of health and disease. These root causes are a product of balance and imbalance between genetic, epigenetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Functional medicine focuses on helping you understand and gain control over the root causes of health and disease as they uniquely manifest in your life. This results in a deeply patient-centered approach, through which functional medicine supports you as a whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.

After going to my MD and other practitioners for help with several conditions, I decided to see if Fred Klemmer LAc could help. Frankly, I didn’t have high expectations and had grown discouraged, but I experienced something different. Fred is a practitioner who uses a combination of acupuncture, herbs, supplements, diet & lifestyle medicine and extraordinary listening skills to bring about healing. In contrast to my usual medical providers, I never felt rushed in any appointment. Each visit Fred allows ample time to hear what I have to say, listen to my concerns, discuss the issues, and explain possible treatments. I have never worked with a practitioner like Fred and was astonished to find that the day after my first treatment, my physical condition and mental state both improved dramatically. I feel in balance and healthy—thank you, Fred!
A session with Fred is only the beginning of your healing. With Fred, I began to remember what was possible, and the journey home has only continued to widen and deepen. Listening intently, with remarkable compassion, Fred addressed both the surface issues and the deeper issues that were affecting me. Fred was clear about his approach from the start, noting his use of acupuncture, herbs, and diet and lifestyle and answered all of my questions fully. I felt safe, seen, and listened to. The tools I have developed for self-healing, honed with Fred’s caring guidance, have been invaluable in sustaining lasting personal growth. I am deeply grateful for my ongoing work with him.
Holy Wow! Oh my goodness what an incredible experience! Fred blew me away with his intrinsic intuitive healing magic, something so beautiful and powerful that cannot be taught. I honestly don’t know how to encapsulate in so few words how profound and effective my session with Fred was. He is a healer whose abilities to read energy flow demand recognition and trust. I felt completely open to his healing, and my session with him was therefore beautifully deep and compelling. Yet, he is there to simply assist and guide you in discovering your own tools for healing, not to condition your reliance upon him. He is so genuinely supportive and deeply calming as you discover layers of yourself peeling back to reveal what lies within you, conscious or unconscious. Though he has certainly helped me to discover a deeper sense of myself and the tools available to me for my own healing, I know right now he is the only acupuncturist that I would go to for such healing assistance. Thank you Fred! I’ll see you again soon!
