Functional Wellness and Root Cause Healthcare
Functional Wellness: Find the Root Cause. Take Back Control of Your Health.
Most of today’s healthcare is built to diagnose a condition and manage it, often with medication, for life. At the Institute for Medical Wellness (IMW), we start with a different question: why did it develop?
Since 2008, Dr. Steven Horvitz has helped members find the root causes of chronic health issues and address them through diet, lifestyle, and functional medicine, with as little medication as possible.
Think about it: would you rather have a blood pressure of 120/80 on two medications, or 120/80 on no medications, because you understand what was driving it?
What we focus on
-
Chronic disease management and reversal
-
Metabolic health, weight loss, prediabetes, and Type 2 diabetes
-
Blood pressure and cholesterol: understanding the cause, not just the number
-
Gut, autoimmune, and hormonal health
-
Nutritional counseling with Dr. Horvitz himself
-
Advanced Wellness Testing that goes beyond standard labs
-
How membership works
IMW is a membership-based practice. One flat fee paid as a monthly membership, no copays, and no incentive to add visits or procedures. Your membership includes an annual Wellness Exam and Advanced Wellness Testing, in-office and virtual visits, and direct access to Dr. Horvitz through our secure Spruce messaging app.
Membership fees are HSA-eligible.
IMW works alongside your local primary care office or urgent care for acute illness. Dr. Horvitz can still be your “second brain” when those issues come up, helping you decide what you need and keeping acute problems from becoming chronic.

An independent practice committed to offering the absolute best care – without compromise.
Dr. Steven Horvitz, your personal health advocate.
In 2008, after over 10 years in private practice, I established The Institute for Medical Wellness. My objective was to create an independent practice to offer patients the absolute best care – without compromise. My priority is to serve as your primary personal advocate for health and wellness by combining traditional, old-fashioned values with modern day Functional Medicine expertise.
A partnership for prevention.
Prevention is the hallmark of good healthcare. As your proactive partner in health, I am devoted to helping you stay healthy. My website and e-mail newsletters found at https://therealdrstevenhorvitz.substack.com/ are designed to educate you about the latest updates in medicine.
By promoting regular check-ups, helping you make balanced and healthy lifestyle choices, and through timely reminders about routine and recommended testing, Dr. Steven Horvitz and the Institute for Medical Wellness aligns with functional medicine principles, focusing on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and other lifestyle changes to prevent and manage chronic diseases.
If you are looking for help safely removing medications AFTER learning how to make necessary changes in your lifestyle, then the Institute for Medical Wellness may be for you.
