Our Story

Ever since its founding by Susan Blum, MD in 2011, Blum Center for Health has been at the forefront of Functional Medicine, pioneering personalized care that truly changes lives. Led by Dr Blum, our team of multi-specialty clinicians have successfully helped thousands of people successfully achieve their health goals.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or pursuing optimal wellness and healthy aging, we’re here to help you restore your vitality and enhance your well-being. We do this by providing thoughtful, comprehensive medical care in a calm, unhurried environment. A place where every patient feels truly seen, heard, and cared for.

Our Philosophy

Uncovering the 'Why' Behind Your Symptoms

Instead of giving you medication to treat your symptoms, Functional medicine aims to uncover why you have them in the first place. After finding these root causes, the goal of your treatment plan is to resolve them using natural medicines (and yes, sometimes a prescription), and a complete review and reboot of your lifestyle habits, including nutrition, sleep, exercise and how you manage stress. A functional medicine expert is like your personal medical detective.

We do this by looking at:

Your Past

Your family history, traumatic events, health history (including symptoms, diagnoses and treatment)

Your Present

Your current living and work environments and potential toxin exposures. We also discuss your community, social life, stress level, relationships, diet, workout regimen, sleep habits, and more, depending on where conversation with your practitioner takes you.

A Comprehensive, Whole-Person Perspective

We look at your body in a different way. Our goal is to optimize your gut microbiome, lower your toxin load, treat hidden infections, balance your hormones, and dig into your mind-body-spirit connection (basically every aspect of how your body functions) so that symptoms are gone and you feel great.
As your medical detective, we take a thorough personalized, whole-person approach to discovering which of these root cause issue/s is likely your issue.

Creating Your Personalized Treatment Plan

We then create your personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health issues. We begin with just a few of the following and then continue to work together to optimize function wherever needed:

  • Repairing healthy gut flora and digestive function;
  • Supporting detoxification processes;
  • Repairing immune function and treating inflammation
  • Treating infections, mold or parasites
  • Replenishing nutrient deficiencies
  • Rebalancing and supporting hormones
  • Improving lifestyle behaviors such as improving sleep, stress and exercise.

Collaborative Care for Optimal Health

We work collaboratively with your primary care doctor, internist, gynecologist, or specialist to design an individualized health program that integrates their recommendations.

Join us on a journey to uncover the root causes of your health issues and achieve a vibrant, healthy life.
