Putting your health back in your hands with Functional Medicine

When you’re exhausted by conventional medicine’s web of providers, we’re here to support the whole you all at once.

  • Functional medicine is a personalized approach to health that aims to understand the underlying root causes of chronic symptoms to restore your body’s physiologic balance.

    Eleena Health braids the wisdom of both conventional and functional medicine to identify factors contributing to symptoms and illness. This combined approach results in a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique symptoms, and creates a roadmap to optimize your health and enjoy life to the fullest.

  • Functional medicine can help people who struggle with their health, and those who feel well.

    • Are you looking to understand your own body and learn strategies on how to age well and feel your best?

    • Do you have symptoms that have not improved with conventional or western medicine interventions?

    • Do you struggle with a constellation of symptoms or chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or fatty liver disease that are difficult to manage?

      • Fatigue

      • Insomnia

      • Hormonal imbalance

      • Gut symptoms

      • Mood symptoms

    If any of these scenarios sounds like you, functional medicine has something to offer.

  • We begin with an assessment and recommendation for lab testing to gain insights into your body’s needs, and reveal vital information about the current status of your health.

    Your results guide tailored recommendations that will empower you to make informed choices about your health habits and rebalance your body systems.

    Initial testing includes:

    • Hormone

    • Stool and Microbiome Analysis

    • Personalized Nutrient and Energy Metabolism

Kind words

  • “The in-depth testing really helped identify what my body was doing well and where I needed help. The deeply customized supplement plan helped improve my health and well-being almost immediately!"

  • “I had an amazing experience with Dr. Pomerance. She was so attentive and thorough and took the time to understand the root cause of my gut issues. I am so grateful for her care and attention. She made me feel seen and supported, with a plan that is tailored to me.”

  • “I have been working with Sweena for several months. She is a wealth of information and her intelligence, experience and thoughtful manner makes her someone I trust. On top of that she is very kind and patient. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to help beyond what a western medicine doc can do.”

  • “Dr. Pomerance applies an intense focus on her patient with respect, sensitivity, intelligence, and understanding to use all her experience and training for the benefit of her patient. I am most fortunate to be the beneficiary of her care.”

  • “I suffered for well over a decade with a number of issues and tried a number of different remedies to my ailments over the years and none led to the outcome I was hoping for. When I first engaged with her, it was clear she took a thorough and robust approach to identifying my various issues. She suggested a number of treatment options and while time consuming and at times a challenge to stick to the plan, she accompanied me along my recovery journey and made herself available to answer all queries I had throughout the process. Her efforts really made a difference to my gut issues and to my overall life satisfaction as a result. She is the real deal!”

  • “Sweena’s guidance through testing, trial and error to find the root cause of my symptoms and patience with all my questions made this experience approachable, comforting and most importantly successful. I can confidently say I feel better than before I started working with Sweena and have found lifestyle changes that will continue to support me feeling the best I can everyday!”

  • “Dr. Pomerance is amazing! I went to her because I had a significant amount of fatigue. She ordered some tests, found areas where my health needed a boost, and put me on the perfect supplements. The best part? I'm feeling amazing! She truly listens and customizes a plan just for you. I recommend her to everyone who wants to take their health to the next level! Trust me, you’ll feel like a brand-new person.”

  • “…The analysis did reveal some gut and hormone related issues that I was not aware of and would not be via a routine annual physical exam that my insurance provides.  Sweena gave me a personalized supplement plan that I have now been using for 2.5 months now.  The biggest difference is in my energy levels through-out the day.  And this is just the first of a 3 phase plan she has for me.  Looking forward to feeling even better!”
