Working with our functional medicine provider can help with a wide range of medical conditions

Good health and well-being are critical to living every moment of your life and feeling your best each and every day. When you work with the team at Atlantic Gastroenterology of Brooklyn, New York, you are able to find solutions for your overall health with the assistance of our functional medicine doctor, Yulia Litvak. Yuliya Litvak is a physician’s assistant, a master herbalist, and a functional medicine provider with a focus on holistic medicine and care.

Whether you are dealing with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or a skin issue, it can be a sign of a problem within the gut. Instead of viewing the symptoms, our team looks at the cause of the issue and helps to alleviate the other issues that can play a role. So many parts of the body are inextricably linked to the stomach, though other doctors may not make that connection.

Why should I work with a functional medicine provider?

Yuliya Litvak takes a different approach to helping patients with their conditions. She has assisted individuals with conditions such as the symptoms of menopause or perimenopause with herbal hormonal support. Also, she talks to patients about the GI system and the many ways in which it can impact their overall health. When she works alongside our Board-Certified gastroenterologist, Dr. Alexander Shapsis, they create a holistic medicine team that can work together to improve the quality of life for patients with specific issues linked to the gastrointestinal area of the body. Instead of recommending traditional pharmaceuticals to address issues such as IBS, our team provides testing and evaluations that give the overall bigger picture to ensure the medical concern is treated naturally, holistically, and effectively.
