Discover a Root-Cause Approach to Your Health and Vitality
Are you tired of treating symptoms without ever finding out why you feel the way you do? At Montclair Rejuvenation Center, we believe that true beauty and wellness start from within. Our Functional Medicine program in Verona and West Caldwell, NJ, is designed to move beyond traditional “reactive” medicine and shift toward a proactive, personalized approach that targets the root cause of your health concerns.
Book OnlineWhat is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
While traditional medicine often focuses on managing acute symptoms with a “one-size-fits-all” pill, functional medicine looks at the complex web of interactions in your history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness.
The Core Pillars of Our Functional Approach:
- Personalized Wellness: No two bodies are the same. We use your unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle data to create a custom roadmap.
- Root-Cause Resolution: We investigate the “why” behind chronic fatigue, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and skin issues.
- Integrative Therapies: We combine the best of modern science with nutrition, stress management, and detoxification.

Functional Medicine FAQs
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment is a deep dive into your health history. We discuss your goals, current symptoms, and lifestyle. We will likely recommend specific specialty labs to get a clear picture of your internal biochemistry.
Is functional medicine suitable for everyone?
Yes! Whether you are dealing with a chronic condition or you simply want to optimize your performance and longevity, functional medicine provides the tools to help you feel your best.
How long does it take to see results?
Because we are working on healing the body at a cellular level, results are rarely “overnight.” Most patients begin to feel a shift in energy and clarity within the first few weeks, with significant health transformations occurring over 3 to 6 months.
Can functional medicine help with my skin?
Absolutely. Many skin issues like acne and inflammation are reflections of internal imbalances. By fixing your gut health and balancing your hormones, we often see a dramatic improvement in skin clarity and radiance.
