At Stone Functional Medicine, Dr. Stone uses a holistic approach to review the root causes of chronic disease such as inflammation, elevated blood sugar, toxin exposure, hormone depletion and more in order to protect your brain, bone, heart, and gut health. Our goal is to help you develop and maintain physical vitality and mental clarity as you age.
Healthy aging in midlife and beyond begins with addressing the root causes of chronic diseases like Type 2 Diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, dementia, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Dr. Stone’s program optimizes metabolic, nutritional, and hormonal systems while incorporating key lifestyle changes to prevent or even reverse these conditions. With a personalized approach, you can reduce or eliminate the need for medication and take control of your long-term health.

My mission is to reach as many people as possible, showing that it is truly possible to Age Boldly! Aging boldly means not accepting pain and chronic disease as a normal progression of life. We can prevent and reverse chronic disease. Women especially can benefit greatly from hormone therapy as it has been proven to prevent and reverse many chronic diseases of aging. Women’s health has been devalued, creating a huge detriment to society. I am driven to change that!
I am a Family Medicine Physician. I attended Medical School at Western University of Health Science and graduated as an Osteopathic Medical Doctor. Osteopathic Medicine is well-aligned with Functional and Integrative Medicine in that it emphasizes wellness, disease prevention and helping the body to heal itself. Osteopathic Medicine seeks to use all tools available, including modern medication and surgery, in addition to hands-on diagnostic and treatment techniques. Osteopaths are fully licensed and certified physicians. I completed my Family Medicine residency at an allopathic (M.D.) program in California, where I served as Co-chief resident. I also completed a sub-track training program in Global Health, where I worked in Africa serving the patients of developing countries.
I have been treating patients in all walks of life since graduating medical school in 2007. I worked as a board-certified HIV physician, participated in multiple international medical missions and treated patients of all ages as a traditional Family Medicine Physician. Having spent much time in the clinics, urgent care, hospitals and Emergency Rooms, I can fully appreciate the disconnect between patients and their physicians. While doctors are trying their best to help as many people as possible, many still leave the office with a sense of misaligned goals and the feeling of not being understood. This disconnect cannot be corrected in the construct of our current medical system. This gap in communication, understanding and holistic care is where the Functional Medicine Revolution begins!
