Sage Medicine is a practice led by Dr. Cawley which offers you a great staff that really strive to provide you with personalized health care, where everyone knows your name and cares about you. We are an independent medical practice, not controlled by insurance companies or a hospital system.
If you are healthy, Dr. Cawley strives to optimize your health and prevent illness. She understands weight management, bioidentical hormone treatment and principles of nutrition and exercise.
Dr. Cawley has spent her entire career as a General Internist diagnosing symptoms, managing complex cases and will strive to give you the answers that you need and want. After accurate diagnoses, she guides you to a path of healing and treatment. In 2014, Dr. Cawley began her journey into functional medicine when she was stumped by a patient who had symptoms that neither she nor the specialist knew what was wrong or how to treat. Based on reading, she recommended the gluten free and later food sensitivity diet and the patient’s symptoms resolved. After that, Dr. Cawley has since found that many chronic or “incurable” diseases can go into remission if patients are motivated and compliant to make the recommended lifestyle changes, following her program. Diseases that Dr. Cawley has put into remission with compliant patients include: early Dementia, Parkinson’s, unexplained neurologic issue, Heart failure due to nutritional deficiencies, Interstitial lung disease, endocrine issues -Type I and type 2 diabetes taking patients off insulin or other medicines, Hypothyroid or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, autoimmune issues – early Lupus, Sjogren’s, Rheumatoid arthritis, Scleroderma, Lupus clotting disorders, multiple cases of autoimmune renal disease, Autoimmune hepatitis and Fatty liver, Eczema, Psoriasis, unexplained Chronic fatigue or swelling or congestion, IBS or SIBO, Gastroparesis.
In order to help patients, Sage Medicine offers nutrition testing, sleep studies, Leap/MRT food sensitivity and Biome fx testing. We will soon be offering metal and toxin testing. When required, Dr. Cawley and Sage staff will also coordinate with leading consultants in San Antonio. Sage Medicine provides our patients with Personalized Healthcare, not corporate. This approach will provide you with the best, most complete, compassionate care.
Functional
Medicine
A patient-centered, holistic approach to treating chronic disease that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of an illness.
Internal
Medicine
A branch of medicine that specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases in adults, without using surgery. An internal medicine doctor is often a person’s main health care provider and coordinates treatment by the other specialists.
What is Functional Medicine?
At Sage Medicine, we look at many factors of a person’s life to find the root cause of many diseases. We rely on scientific testing and the experience of Dr. Cawley to determine what changes in a person’s lifestyle are likely to have a positive impact on their health. This can be diet changes, supplements, exercise, etc. She will take the time required to educate each patient to help them achieve optimum health.
What about Internal Medicine?
Sometimes a patient has an illness that cannot be cured by functional medicine techniques. Dr. Cawley is a Fellow in the ACP, meaning that she has achieved recognition from her peers as a top physician. Throughout her career, she has acquired a great deal of knowledge about many of the subspecialties of medicine to the extent that she will often not need to send a patient to a subspecialist. However, she does refer to the best specialist in town when necessary. She always communicates closely with them, overseeing any treatments.
