Dr. Di Leo’s philosophy lies in a systematic approach that looks at the person as a whole, not an isolated set of symptoms. The patient and practitioner develop a partnership in which the doctor spends time learning about many aspects of the patient’s health that may be contributing to the problems at hand. Dr. Di Leo listen to patients’ histories to find interactions between genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that may be contributing to long-term health challenges. It’s for this reason that functional medicine can be customized to support each patient’s unique expression of health and vitality. In doing this, we’re able to create a patient centered, not disease centered approach to healing the body.
