MEET DR. DAECHER
Personalized medicine. Root-cause thinking. Care built around you.
Hello! I’m Dr. Christine Daecher—pronounced “Decker.” I am a board-certified Internal Medicine physician and an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner.
After 14 years of operating my own Internal Medicine practice, I recognized that many patients needed more than the conventional, insurance-based model could provide. I founded Savannah Functional Medicine to offer the thoughtful, individualized care needed to uncover underlying contributors to illness and create meaningful, lasting improvements in health.

Why I Chose Functional Medicine
I was drawn to functional medicine because I wanted to offer patients more than symptom management. Chronic health concerns are often complex, and meaningful improvement begins by asking a deeper question:
What is contributing to the problem?
Functional medicine looks at the whole person—not simply an isolated diagnosis. When appropriate, I use advanced testing to explore potential contributors involving:
-
Nutrition and metabolism
-
Gut and hormone health
-
Inflammation and immune function
-
Environmental and biotoxin exposures
-
Vector-borne infections
-
Mitochondrial function and detoxification pathways
Together, we develop a personalized plan that may incorporate nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, targeted supplements, and medication when appropriate. The goal is to create sustainable changes that support better function and long-term health.
I explain both conventional and functional medicine options so you can make informed decisions that reflect your goals, needs, and values. My role is to listen, educate, and partner with you—not simply manage a list of symptoms.
Areas of Focus
Metabolic health • Biotoxin-related illness • Vector-borne infections • Hormone balance • Gut health • Autoimmune support • Mitochondrial health • Healthy aging
UPDATE: Savannah Functional Medicine will begin working with patients in Texas as of 6/20/2026.
