What Is Functional Medicine?

It’s care that looks for “why?” We look for what is behind your symptoms instead of treating them individually. We start with your story, build a plan you can live with, and save testing for when it will change what we do.

How Your Functional Health Plan Comes Together

1) Get to Know You

 A 60–90 minute deep-dive. We map your timeline, major stressors, travel, infections, diet, sleep, training, and review past labs. You talk; we listen.

2) Smart Testing (only if it’s useful)

 We start with baseline labs. If more data were to change the plan, we’ll consider factors like:

  • Metabolic and heart-health markers
  • Thyroid and sex hormones (timed to your cycle when it matters)
  • Key nutrients (iron, B12, vitamin D, magnesium)
  • Gut testing when it’s likely to guide care
  • For possible mold/moisture issues, we begin with your history and a walk-through of your space, then decide together if testing is warranted

3) Daily Building Blocks

Little habits that add up to make a difference: a great food plan for hectic weeks, better sleep routines, stress management you’ll actually practice, and exercise that respects energy and joints.

4) Targeted Support

When needed, we supplement with special additions, gut repair, hormone balance with tracking, metabolic support, and recovery programs (such as breathwork or sauna) that integrate into your way of life.

5) Monitor Progress

Clear markers, symptoms, labs, and function so that you can see what’s changing. We shift every few weeks so that you continue to move forward.
