At Path Functional Medicine, we are a consultation clinic, not a primary care provider, focused on helping patients better manage their complex and chronic health conditions, such as autoimmunity, chronic pain and fatigue, which traditional medicine has not adequately resolved.
Our clinic is dedicated to providing a comprehensive, patient centered approach to your healthcare by integrating the best of traditional Western medicine with the principles of functional medicine. Our mission is to identify and address the root causes of illness, including imbalances in the microbiome, toxicity, metabolic deficiencies, rather than just managing symptoms, to support long-term wellness and vitality and potentially reverse the course of illness.
We believe in treating the whole person, by combining advanced medical insights with personalized lifestyle, nutrition, and therapeutic strategies. Through collaboration, education, and compassionate care, we empower our patients to take an active role in their health journey while restoring balance and optimizing well-being for a healthier life.

We believe that each individual is unique, which is why we create personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, especially for conditions like autoimmunity, fatigue, chronic pain, infertility, anxiety, depression, ADHD, brain fog. Our team works diligently to ensure optimal health outcomes through customized solutions that support a healthier you.

At Path, we believe that true wellness comes from understanding the unique story behind each individual and taking a comprehensive, personalized approach to health. Founded in 2025 by Dr. Michael Villadelgado, Path was born out of a desire to raise awareness about functional medicine and provide a more effective alternative to the traditional method of simply prescribing medications and managing symptoms.
Dr. Villadelgado's journey is deeply personal. Having battled multiple allergies, asthma, eczema, and ankylosing spondylitis, he once relied on chronic medications just to manage daily life. Determined to find a better way, he embraced a natural root cause approach that utilized advanced testing and combined nutrition, integrative medicine, mindfulness, meditation, supplements, and exercise. This shift not only allowed him to reclaim his active lifestyle, such as skiing, surfing, biking, playing pickleball, and traveling, but also enabled him to eliminate and avoid the need for long-term prescription medications.
In recent years, Dr. Villadelgado also faced the lingering effects of long COVID syndrome, a complex condition that left him physically and mentally fatigued. By applying the principles of functional medicine to his own recovery, including addressing issues like dysbiosis, leaky gut, and mitochondrial fatigue, he was able to restore his energy, cognitive clarity, and resilience, further affirming the power of root-cause healing.
With over 25 years of experience treating children and adults, Dr. Villadelgado has consistently prioritized compassionate, individualized care. His commitment to building collaborative relationships with his patients has earned him the trust and respect of his peers, colleagues, and the many families he has served. Inspired by his wife’s transformative experience with functional medicine, Dr. Villadelgado pursued advanced training through the Institute for Functional Medicine to expand his expertise.
Now, Dr. Villadelgado brings his extensive knowledge and personal experience to help others uncover the root causes of their health challenges. If you are frustrated by conventional approaches that fail to deliver lasting results, Path is here to guide you toward a healthier, more vibrant life.
Your journey to better health starts now, and Dr. Villadelgado is ready to walk that path with you. Take the first step toward discovering a new way forward, one that empowers you to thrive.
