Why Choose Integrative & Functional Medicine?
If you are struggling with chronic pain, fatigue, autoimmune disease, memory loss, inflammation, or metabolic dysfunction, integrative functional medicine offers a comprehensive approach. In contrast to conventional medicine, which relies on insurance company-approved protocol-based treatments, integrative functional medicine focuses on identifying and responding to the root cause of illness rather than reacting to managing symptoms, often combining state-of-the-art functional medicine laboratory services to explore the root cause of illness with holistic integrative approaches, building a healing partnership

Understanding LDN in Dr. Kim's Practice
Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a cornerstone of Dr. Kim’s practice. It is frequently used to manage conditions such as:
-
Autoimmune diseases
-
Chronic pain
-
Nerve Pain
-
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)
-
Neuroinflammatory disorders
-
Neurodegenerative disorders
Many patients report significant improvements in pain, energy levels, immune regulation, and overall quality of life through LDN-based protocols. Patients report that LDN provides pain relief and helps with a variety of health conditions, supporting general health and well-being. How low dose naltrexone works involves the opioid antagonist naltrexone, which, in small doses or low doses, modulates the immune system, reduces inflammation, and decreases the release of inflammatory cytokines. Individualized dosing is important, as LDN is often compounded to achieve the optimal dose for each patient. LDN is typically incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual.
Originally, naltrexone was used for addiction treatment, including alcohol dependence, opioid addiction, and opioid use disorder, but its use has expanded to address chronic and autoimmune conditions. LDN may also support weight management and weight loss for some patients by improving insulin sensitivity and regulating metabolism.
Evidence for LDN includes data from randomized placebo controlled trial studies, and the LDN Research Trust is a reputable source for more information about its mechanisms and therapeutic effects. Before starting LDN, patients should consult a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use. LDN Support Group is a supportive community sharing experience, expertise and offering hope and support through FB Group format.

What Patients Say About Our Virtual Integrative Functional Medicine
"During the time I have been treated by Dr. Kim, I have seen his absolute dedication to my treatment. His compassionate care and follow-up are unique in the current medical landscape. He has treated me for significant pain after I broke my pelvis in five places and instructed me to regain a healthy lifestyle." Peggy
"Dr. Kim has really helped me with my various symptoms that were triggered by my autoimmune disease, such as Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and food allergies. Thanks to him, my thyroid is under control, my food allergies were treated with allergy drops, and I am no longer allergic. I also had asthma that is now so well controlled that I no longer need my inhaler, even when walking past cigarette smoke." VT
"Dr. Kim assisted me throughout my life. From initially prescribing allergy drops to curb my seasonal allergies to remaining available for any questions relating to my overall health, Dr. Kim remained focused on providing excellent care. Dr. Kim continues to serve his patients through his conscientious and holistic service to his patients." MK
