eanna Cherrone, MD is an experi- enced Functional
Medicine practitioner who believes every patient
deserves to be treated as a whole and unique person. After conventional medicine failed her own health needs, Deanna sought a more complex approach. She began Functional Medicine training in 2004. Later, Deanna opened the Natural Health & Healing Center in 2006, where she continues prac- ticing Functional Medicine today. Deanna is renowned for her medical knowledge and effective care. She holds a prestigious certifi cation in Functional Medicine and stays updated via at- tending conferences.
Conventional medicine utilizes standardized practices.
However, since all patients are unique and 70-90% of chronic disease are caused by lifestyle choices, these methods often fail. The Functional Medicine model addresses this through dynamic, personalized care. Unlike conventional healthcare, Functional Medicine targets root causes of disease, rather than simply managing symptoms. Disease manifests due to combined effects of imbalances within the body, including infl ammation, genetic predispositions, nutritional defi ciencies, and other factors. The complex intake process is used to diagnose imbalances and develop individualized care plans. Prescriptions include vari- ous behavioral approaches, called Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLCs). Counseling, along with personalized dietary, lifestyle, and environmental changes delivers long-lasting benefi ts. Therefore, Deanna’s methodology does not simply eliminate disease, but restores optimal health.
Submitted by Sarah O'Horo. Understanding what motivates a patient and the obstacles that impede progress enables Dr. Cherrone to recommend individualized strategies for success. Applying biochemistry to each patient and seeing the positive results is extremely gratifying. Dr. Cherrone truly believes that Functional Medicine provides the necessary framework for how medicine is meant to be practiced. Natural Health and Healing, West Hartford, CT, 860.677.4600
