Terese Black

Are you looking for answers to your health concerns? I take a holistic, functional medicine approach to identifying the root cause(s) that are driving one's condition. My approach is to find out where and why people are having roadblocks in their health and use an evidence-based approach that may include laboratory tests, diet, lifestyle, natural supplements or herbs and a referral for prescription meds when necessary to remove those obstacles and help patients regain their health. I specialize in Autoimmune conditions, Gastrointestinal conditions and Thyroid and Adrenal conditions.

I spend time and listen to my patients and look at the lifestyle, dietary, environmental, genetic factors that influence health and chronic disease and may have contributed to their current health condition. Functional Medicine addresses the whole person and looks for the underlying causes of health concerns, instead of just putting a bandaid on symptoms.

I am Naturopathic Physician (ND), passed all national board exams but NDs are not licensed in Illinois. I am in a unique position as I am also a Chiropractic Physician. This allows me to perform exams, order labs and imaging studies and there is a chance insurance will cover these studies. I offer free 10-minute discover calls to see if I am the right fit.
