Meet Our Integrative Team!
Dr. Andrew Wong and Elizabeth Baer, L.Ac. co-founded Capital Integrative Health out of a deep desire to deliver better medicine. Many of our practitioners left traditional medical settings to find a more fulfilling way to practice - one that focuses on health, instead of illness.
Within our different backgrounds, we are driven by the shared experience that healing is a group effort that thrives on open minds and open hearts.
Our collaborative team incorporates and coordinates many modalities of healing to bring you the best healthcare possible:
Our team practices in Potomac MD, and via Telehealth.

Functional Medicine Team
Functional Medicine approaches both wellness and illness by asking, “Why is this happening? What are the root cause(s)?” This system biology-based approach, advanced specialized testing, and deep listening to your story, leads to superior and lasting results. Our functional medical team is dedicated to working closely with you to optimize your lifestyle, prevent disease, and uplevel your life in the areas that matter to you.
Functional Nutrition
Hippocrates said that the road to health starts with the gut! Functional nutrition is a core part of the functional health approach, and is a holistic, scientific and personalized approach to nutrition, utilizing food as medicine. Beyond nutrition alone, our functional nutrition team assesses your lifestyle, genetic makeup, internal and external environments, and motivation for change to create an individualized plan that restores and maintains optimal health. Our team also uses specialized testing such as gut microbiome testing, breath testing, food sensitivity testing, and micronutrient testing to truly personalize and optimize your approach to digestive health.
