The body heals itself.  Let's help it.

Restore your health.

Restore your quality of life. 

Hello! I am Dr. Christine Daecher (pronounced “Decker”). I am board-certified in Internal Medicine and certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).

Earlier in my career, I owned and operated a solo Internal Medicine micro-practice in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. After 14 years, I closed the practice, relocated to Savannah, Georgia, and transitioned to telemedicine, providing urgent care, wellness visits, and routine medical care through a large national healthcare organization.

​

While practicing within an insurance-based healthcare system, I was only able to incorporate small elements of a functional medicine approach into patient care. Over time, I realized that many patients needed a more personalized, root-cause-focused approach than conventional models could provide. This desire to help patients achieve lasting improvements in their health led me to open Savannah Functional Medicine, where I can fully apply the principles of functional medicine and provide the individualized care my patients deserve.

 

I am licensed to practice medicine in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, and Pennsylvania. At this time, Savannah Functional Medicine serves patients located in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas through telemedicine.

How did I find functional medicine?

Several years ago, I began my training in functional medicine. What drew me to this approach was a growing frustration with the limitations of conventional medicine in addressing chronic disease. Too often, treatment focuses on managing symptoms or slowing the progression of illness rather than identifying and addressing the underlying causes.

​

Functional medicine takes a different approach. The goal is to optimize health, restore function, and, when possible, reverse disease processes while minimizing reliance on medications. As a functional medicine physician, I use advanced laboratory testing to evaluate factors such as nutritional status, gut health, hormone balance, inflammation, environmental exposures, vector-borne illnesses, and the body's detoxification pathways. I then work closely with you to develop sustainable lifestyle changes that become long-term habits rather than short-term fixes.

​

I believe patients deserve to understand all of their options. During our work together, I review both conventional and functional medicine approaches and help you make informed decisions about your care. My role is to educate, guide, and partner with you in developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.

​

Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve metabolic health, reduce dependence on prescription medications, recover from biotoxin-related illness, address vector-borne infections, optimize hormone balance, improve gut health, support autoimmune conditions, or enhance mitochondrial function and overall wellness, I am here to help.

UPDATE: Savannah Functional Medicine will begin working with patients in Texas as of 6/20/2026.
