Hi, I’m Pam Tutten
I am a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and have been practicing for over 30 years. My joy is to help people out of pain and return to their roles and routines of life. I come from an orthopedic background and over the years, I have discovered Functional Medicine.
Functional Medicine fits well with the framework of Occupational Therapy and allows me to add more services for my patients like prescribing a personalized food plan, recommending lifestyle choices and options, evaluating for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, checking hormonal balance, and evaluating for leaky gut.
My Approach
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY: The use of everyday activities to enhance the participation in roles, habits, and routines.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE: Addresses the whole person including the interactions between environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors that influence health.
Learning about you
The first step is to learn all I can about you and your life. From there, I can learn discover clues that help get to the root of your symptoms. This step will include an in-depth history and may often include testing and labs.
Developing a plan
Once I know your story, we collaborate on a plan to move you into wellness. The treatment may include the prescription of food plans, supplements, lifestyle adjustments, education about sleep hygiene, and stress management.
