Dr. Kenneth Orbeck practices integrative and functional medicine at his South Carolina-based practice: BodyLogicMD of Greenville. Dr. Orbeck utilizes the evidence based techniques of functional medicine to optimize the functions of the body systems, striving not only to diagnose disease in its early stages when it can be more easily reversed, but to prevent it before any damage occurs. Our current medical system, on the other hand, is designed to diagnose and treat the symptoms of disease when it is in its final or acute stage. It is not designed to create wellness or to effectively prevent disease. Dr. Orbeck focuses  on the targeted use of nutritional supplements and scientifically tested natural medicines to achieve health objectives that are not possible with standard pharmaceuticals. Each patient is taught in detail exactly what, how, how much, and when to eat in order to achieve  best health. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and individualized fitness and nutrition plans, are also employed.  Dr. Orbeck believes that proper diet, regular exercise and balanced hormones are the cornerstones of  health and longevity.
