LET ME GUESS, YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.


YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO FEEL BETTER.

You’re smart, successful, and results driven. You’ve bested just about
everything else in your life, so what GIVES? Why does good health elude your
efforts? It can feel like an uphill battle at times because you’re more than
willing to DO THE WORK.

Fact is… there are just some things you can’t do alone. Sometimes, traditional
medical systems just get in the way, and you need a little more support and
expertise to break through.



HEY, I'M DR. CAROLYN FINNEGAN,


AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

In case we’ve never met before, let me tell you a little bit about me.

I am a Certified Functional Medicine Doctor in Oakland, CA. I came to Functional
Medicine through my own health issues which included severe and constant pain,
migraines, general inflammation, IBS, difficult periods, fatigue, anxiety, and
insomnia. I understand what it feels like to not feel good.

I use my extensive experience, expertise, and education, and use it to help you
have a real understanding about what it takes to resolve your health issues.

GET TO KNOW DR. FINNEGAN


MY STORY

I started Core Wellness Functional Medicine because in my private practice, I
was noticing more and more patients coming in with general inflammation, chronic
pain, GI issues, and it seemed as if everyone was tired and depressed.

At the same time I was having my own health problems from being a workaholic and
having two babies under 4. It was then that I decided to go back to school and
learn Functional Medicine. It was important for me to learn to how to heal
myself and to be able to have more natural and effective solutions for my
increasingly sick patients.

Traditional medicine is great for emergencies, acute, and specific issues.
However, for chronic Issues, such as, autoimmunity, mental health struggles,
fatigue, etc. traditional surgeries and medications can not only be ineffective,
but they can exacerbate issues and even harm your body’s ability to fight
problems on its own. This can make healing extremely difficult and chronic
conditions worse.

Functional Medicine focuses on improving your diet, your gut, and any
deficiencies your body may have in making itself better. As Functional Medicine
doctors, we focus on finding the root cause of the issues and healing early,
before catastrophic events.

I believe if we can remove the roadblocks to your health, you can live a life
full of growth and inspiration – returning to the many of pleasures of life that
you’d given up on. I’ve worked with thousands of patients over the last 20 years
to help empower them to understand the path to healing and thriving.
