Mila McManus, MD

Dr. Mila McManus is not your average doctor. She doesn’t automatically address patients’ problems with prescription drugs, which often add more undesirable symptoms than they resolve. Practicing functional medicine since 2004, Dr. McManus has given her patients true health care solutions that go directly to the root causes of the problems.

After facing her own chronic health issues that conventional medicine couldn’t solve, and seeing the same disturbing trend with her patients, Dr. McManus discovered the solutions for her ailments in functional medicine. Since then, she has been offering relief to men, women, and children with nearly any health concern. Dr. McManus is board certified in family medicine, has certifications with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, and is a certified GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) practitioner. She combines knowledge and expertise from both conventional and functional medicine to deliver the best care for her patients.

Testing It Out

Unlike traditional doctors, Dr. McManus won’t rely solely on typical blood tests which are often unrevealing. Other specialty tests she uses include genomic testing, saliva testing for hormones, food sensitivity testing, heavy metal testing, vitamin analyses, metabolic rate testing, and blood tests that can find cancer cells in the body. Using these resources, Dr. McManus finds answers.

Newest Technologies

At The Woodlands Institute for Health and Wellness, Dr. McManus recently opened a Longevity Room with Red Light therapy, InfraRed sauna, and a vibration plate.  These combined therapies make biohacking easy.  These modalities aren’t just for disease prevention and longevity though.  They can help with weight loss, bone density, wound healing, detoxification, skin conditions, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and more.

Fixing the Unfixable

Some patients come to Dr. McManus desperate to try anything for relief from their symptoms. She says, “I enjoy having new patients who are doubtful about functional medicine and changing their skeptical attitudes to happy and healthy believers.” Her success with helping patients can’t be denied. Dr. McManus has also been featured on Great Day Houston, The Michael Berry Show, and other podcasts. She also published her book Highway to Health: A Nutritional Roadmap in 2008, with a 2nd edition printed in 2019.

One of her favorite patient success stories is of a ten-month old baby who was inexplicably failing to thrive. After being on a GAPS diet with Dr. McManus, he started to thrive within a few weeks. For Dr. McManus, seeing the positive transformations for her patients is the highlight of her work. “I love getting people well!” she says. “It’s so rewarding to fix the supposed unfixable.”
