Chicago Institute for Health & Wellness

Functional and regenerative medicine in West Dundee.

Hormones, weight, pain, and performance - cared for together so you feel better, move better, and train better.

How is CIHW different?

Start here. We sort out the rest with you.

Health should start with you - not with guessing which specialty to call first.

Most clinics send you to separate offices for hormones, weight, pain, and training. Here, those pieces stay in the same clinic.

What is functional medicine?

Sports, rehab, performance

Feel better. Move better. Perform better.

Hormones and weight on one side. Sports medicine, rehab, and training on the other - all in the same clinic.

Why patients choose CIHW

Care that stays with you.

01

Everything stays coordinated here

Hormones, weight, pain, and performance are handled here. You are not sent somewhere else after the first visit.

02

Medical care on site

TRT, HRT, GLP-1s, and peptides are evaluated and followed here by a clinical team in West Dundee.

03

Rehab and training stay with you

When you start to feel better, strength work and recovery continue with the same team.

Dr. Mitchell has taken care of me, my husband and kids for years. We had chiropractic care and health coaching. He deserved 5 stars no matter what. BUT....I recently threw my back out with the slightest move. My pain was at a 12 on a scale of 10. He got me in on an emergency basis. I couldn't even walk in without help...and I walked out on my own! I listened to everything he told me to do after and he got me back quickly!!!!! I CAN'T RECOMMEND HIM ENOUGH!!!!

Questions

Before you call.

A long-form history, a physical and functional exam when relevant, and a lab strategy that matches your goals. Call the office to get started.

Yes. Men's testosterone therapy and women's hormone replacement are core services here. Dosing follows labs and follow-up.

Often, yes, when it is clinically appropriate. Low testosterone, menopause, insulin resistance, and body composition travel together. Combining GLP-1 therapy with hormone optimization and resistance training is how we protect muscle while the scale moves.

Coverage varies by plan and by service. Some sports-medicine and rehab care may be billable; many regenerative, aesthetic, and cash-pay programs are not. We will be direct about cost before you start. Call (224) 535-8707 and we will walk through options.
