Our Team
RC Functional MD
RC Functional MD was founded by Dr. Clancey to create an all-encompassing healing experience for our patients. It is our mission is to restore each individual to their optimal state of health. To do that, we partner with each patient in creating personalized treatment plans which take into account the patient’s internal and external environments. In addition to performing advanced diagnostic testing and interpretation, we acknowledge and treat drivers of disease that may not be uncovered by diagnostic testing.
RC Stands for "Root Cause" because we believe in investigating downstream drivers of illness. This is the key to rebalancing the body and ultimately allowing it to achieve the highest healing potential.
About The RC Functional Team
Lindsey Clancey, MD
Dr. Clancey is board certified in Internal Medicine and began her career caring for patients in the acute care setting in 2009. As a hospitalist, she investigated the "root cause" of acute medical illnesses leading to hospitalization. Along the way, she noticed a recurring pattern that persistent chronic illness is the main driver for repeated hospitalization, progressive disease and ongoing health imbalances. Ultimately, a patient may recover from the acute health crisis and be stable enough to leave the hospital setting, but without addressing the driver of chronic illness, the pattern will repeat.
Finding a way to reverse or improve chronic illness is key to ultimate health and wellbeing.
Lindsey became aware of functional medicine after having her own health crisis that was not adequately addressed with conventional treatments. Through functional medicine, she found a path to and heal her body naturally without pharmaceuticals. After having her personal healing success, she felt empowered to help those with chronic conditions do the same.
Lindsey has completed formal training through the Institute of Functional Medicine, ADAPT practitioner training program and through the Origins Functional Medicine practice mentorship.
Functional Medicine provides tools for healthcare professionals to find underlying drivers of chronic disease. She utilizes focused supplementation, advanced diagnostic testing and personalized lifestyle change to achieve lasting positive results with her patients.
“Ultimately it comes down to where you choose to put your power. At RC Functional MD, we focus on handing the power to heal and thrive back to the individual rather than placing it solely in the hands of pharmaceuticals and providers."
