Dr. Van knows first-hand that there is a gender bias in the medical system, and many women are not getting the help that they need. This is why she chose to focus on women's health as her third specialty, making her one of the rare functional doctors who also specializes in women's health.
With over 12+ years of experience in functional medicine and women's health, Doctor Van is excited to open Evolve Longevity Center in Irvine, Orange county. She chose the name Evolve because she is on a mission to help women evolve their health and thrive at all ages. Dr. Van knows that her work as a functional medicine and women's health specialist is more than a career. It is a calling and a lifetime pursuit of knowledge, service, and excellence.
Functional medicine versus conventional medicine
Conventional medicine mainly uses drugs and surgery which tend to cover up your symptoms but do NOT treat the underlying problem. Functional medicine seeks to find the root causes or underlying causes of your illness, rather than just using drugs to suppress symptoms. Our functional medicine doctor Orange County is dedicated to this root cause approach.
