The approach

Two disciplines, one whole person.

Most chronic illness doesn't have a single cause — and it rarely responds to a single pill. Dr. Kanani combines conventional medicine with the tools of integrative and functional medicine to find and address what's actually driving your symptoms.

Integrative Medicine

Healing the whole of the person.

A combination of conventional and natural healing — diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes — that considers every part of your life: your stress, your sleep, the food you eat, your connection to the natural world, and past emotional trauma.

Functional Medicine

Advanced testing that finds what's hidden.

Specialized testing to uncover conditions standard labs miss — gut microbiome stool testing, in-depth nutritional assessments, advanced hormonal evaluations, and measuring your toxic burden, such as mycotoxins and heavy metals.

“Restoring your health to where it belongs.”

How care works

A path back to health, in three movements.

01 — Listen

Your full story

We begin with your history, your lifestyle, your stresses, and how you arrived here. You're a whole person with a story — not a chart with a diagnosis code.

02 — Test

Find the root cause

Advanced functional testing — gut microbiome, hormones, nutrient status, and toxic burden like mold and heavy metals — to reveal what routine labs overlook.

03 — Restore

A plan built for you

A personalized plan around your biology: nutrition, lifestyle, targeted supplements and herbs, and IV nutritional therapies where they help you heal.

Conditions treated

Built for complex, chronic illness.

Dr. Kanani works especially with people who've been told their labs are “normal” while they continue to feel unwell.
