What is Functional Medicine and how is it different from my regular doctor?
While conventional medicine focuses on managing symptoms and treating acute illness with medication, our practice takes a natural and holistic approach to find and resolve the root cause of your dysfunction. We use advanced testing, personalized nutrition, structural care, and supplements to get your body back to optimal health.
Do you take insurance?
We are not in network with insurance. We can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We can also bill out-of-network and Medicare.
What kind of patients do you typically see?
We work with individuals and families looking for root-cause solutions to chronic symptoms, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, digestive issues, musculoskeletal issues, and more. We work with individuals of all ages, from newborn to 90 years of age!
Do you work with children or families?
Yes! We are a family practice, offering patient-centered care for both adults and children, tailored to the age, stage, and unique needs of each family member. We even have special packages for families and children.
How long until I see results?
Every body is different, but many patients start noticing improvement within the first few weeks of care. We'll review progress together and adjust as needed.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card?
Yes. Most Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) will cover consultations, lab work, and supplements.
What kind of testing do you offer?
We offer a range of functional lab tests depending on your needs—these may include gut microbiome analysis, hormone testing, food sensitivities, micronutrient panels, mold testing, food sensitivities and allergies, and much more!
Will I get supplement or diet recommendations after the first visit?
Based on your history and findings, we’ll recommend initial action steps, which often include some sort of testing, targeted supplements, foundational nutrition or lifestyle support, or a combination of these.
What if I’ve already tried everything?
We understand that frustration. Our approach is different, we focus on systems, patterns, and root causes that may have been overlooked, offering new insight and support. If you feel like you are at a dead end, then we are here to change that.
Do I need to commit to a long program?
Not at all. The initial consultation is a standalone service designed to give you clarity. If we’re a good fit, we’ll explore personalized options for follow-up care, but there’s no pressure.
