Functional medicine is an individualized, client-centered approach to understanding chronic disease causes, health optimization as well as disease prevention. The precise manifestation of each cause depends on an individual’s genes, environment and lifestyle. When you focus on treatments that address the root cause, you will have a lasting benefit beyond symptom suppression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/987bb406-d2a8-4d2b-be1d-9504cfef24ad/AWS_5926.jpg Home A close collaboration Functional medicine and health coaching is not a quick fix. It’s a process. It takes work, an active client, commitment and a close collaboration to be successful. While conventional medicine does a great job at treating acute and emergency medical situations, functional medicine looks for the root course of chronic illness, explores health optimization & disease prevention. https://www.palmandbirchhealth.com/about daily 0.75 2026-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/3fefb268-4d6b-4595-be59-40901eb50b95/AWS_5768_r.jpg About - Meet Sarah Cannon Originally from London, England, I moved to California in 2016 and now call it home with my family. Before transitioning into health and wellness, I worked in design and co-founded an interior design company. I’ve always been drawn to creativity, nature, travel, and living a balanced, connected life. My passion for functional medicine began through my own health journey. After struggling with digestive issues, fatigue, anxiety, and immune challenges, I discovered the powerful impact of nutrition, lifestyle changes, stress management, and addressing health from a whole-person perspective rather than focusing on symptoms alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/b77421bc-5ded-4939-99d7-7638ce523eda/AWS_5411.jpg About - Being an Advocate Years later, supporting a family member through a Celiac disease diagnosis deepened my understanding of chronic health conditions and the importance of education, advocacy, and sustainable lifestyle support. Today, as a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, I help clients navigate their health challenges with practical tools, personalized support, and lasting lifestyle change. https://www.palmandbirchhealth.com/approach daily 0.75 2026-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/1633474396682-BPNXZJ3E0HSAHCOV7YVS/noun_heart+rate_2461262.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/69686e3b-5d3f-4bd0-bddd-e87f97e5b661/family3.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/1822016c-995b-4dc0-be08-bb2311bfe0cd/noun_sun_2685736.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/9c86bedc-d8c8-4fd0-b858-3fe1814cab75/pb_puzzle.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/d841e73c-7135-411b-accb-281f39e8dc2c/pb_dna.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/4cc0a871-073f-4f16-aada-1e03fb1be6fd/pb_stomach.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/c519dce8-973f-4f38-9cb9-37c64c2c0ce9/1.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/04c85b20-d415-401a-b8b4-6eb0d63c72c6/2.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/dc54ba16-b6c1-46a5-98d0-f458d95a9785/3.png Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.palmandbirchhealth.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615cb4a0c8f17d573ab32a75/1633568035249-G97FEO35TXQIA14JDG1O/noun_paper+plane_2654938-2.png Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
