Dr. Drew C. Duquette - Duquette Functional Medicine Clinic

Duquette Functional Medicine Clinic is a solo functional medicine practice in Bloomington, Illinois, led by Dr. Drew C. Duquette, BS, DC, CFMP. Dr. Duquette holds a background in chemistry, biology, and human biology, and has pursued post-graduate studies in functional medicine, developing a focus on helping patients with chronic health conditions without drugs or surgery. The practice falls under the Holistic and Integrative category.

Chemical sensitivities are among the conditions the practice explicitly addresses. The practice links chemical sensitivity to leaky gut syndrome, explaining that when the gut barrier is compromised, the liver can become overwhelmed by microbial toxins, resulting in symptoms such as confusion, memory loss, brain fog, or reactions to perfume and cigarette smoke. The practice identifies chemical preservatives, food dyes, peroxidized fats, and mold and fungal mycotoxins in stored grains as contributing factors to intestinal permeability. The approach is root-cause focused, using advanced functional medicine lab testing to identify underlying drivers of chronic illness. Additional conditions addressed include fibromyalgia, thyroid disorders, autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, migraine headaches, depression, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.

Both virtual and in-person initial consultations are available, and patients outside of central Illinois are accepted as patients. Initial consultations, including virtual and in-person visits, are offered at no charge. The website does not specify which states are served for virtual appointments. Insurance is not accepted, as the practice operates outside the conventional medical system. HSA/FSA eligibility is not mentioned on the website.
