Frequently Asked Questions
What is Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a science-based, patient-centered approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness, acute illness, and correcting sub-optimal health and function. Rather than simply treating symptoms, Functional Medicine looks at the interconnectedness of systems in the body — including hormones, gut health, immune function, and lifestyle — to understand why symptoms are happening and how to restore lasting balance. It’s personalized medicine that empowers patients to take an active role in their healing.
Rather than just managing a diagnosis, Functional Medicine aims to restore optimal function across all systems of the body — hormonal, metabolic, immune, digestive, neurological, and more.
This approach is especially helpful for complex or long-standing issues like fatigue, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune conditions, thyroid disorders, and fertility challenges. It’s proactive, preventive, and deeply personalized.

How is Functional Medicine different from seeing a conventional doctor?
Conventional medicine typically focuses on diagnosing a condition and prescribing medication to control symptoms. Appointments are often brief and centered on acute care.
Functional Medicine, on the other hand, is a systems-based approach that seeks to uncover why you’re experiencing symptoms in the first place. Practitioners spend significantly more time with patients, using in-depth assessments and advanced lab testing to explore your full health history, genetics, nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and emotional well-being. Treatment plans are integrative and collaborative, often including dietary changes, targeted supplementation, stress management, and sometimes conventional therapies — but always with an emphasis on long-term healing, not just short-term relief.

What conditions do you treat?
This practice focuses on women’s health — including hormonal imbalances (such as PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause), fertility challenges, pregnancy, thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s), low energy, weight struggles, and metabolic issues. We also address sleep, digestion, mood, and other underlying contributors to overall health.
Can you help with fertility or hormone issues if I’ve already seen other doctors?
Yes. Many women come to functional medicine after feeling unheard or frustrated with traditional options. We work alongside or independently from your OB/GYN or endocrinologist to explore what’s been missed — such as nutrient deficiencies, subtle hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation, and stress patterns that may be affecting your cycle, ovulation, or overall fertility.
Do you offer lab testing?
Absolutely. We use both conventional and advanced functional lab testing to get a full picture of your health. This may include blood panels, saliva hormone testing, Dutch hormone testing, thyroid panels, micronutrient tests, genetics, environmental toxin testing, and gut health evaluations. Labs help us personalize your treatment plan with precision.
Do you recommend supplements?
Yes. We provide customized recommendations on professional-grade supplements from brands like:
Thorne
Designs for Health

Ortho Molecular Products
Integrative Therapeutics

What is hormone optimization — and is it safe?
Hormone optimization means restoring your hormones to their ideal, functional range — not just what’s considered “normal” on a lab test. This can include using natural therapies, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplements. In some cases, we also explore bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate and safe. We carefully monitor your labs and symptoms to ensure you’re always supported.
Do you prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement?
Yes, If appropriate we can prescribe bioidentical hormone replacement including compounded capsules, patches, creams, and suppositories.
Will I get a food plan or nutrition recommendations?
Yes, we offer nutrition guidance and recommend a food plan based on your specific needs. We are experienced in several therapeutic food plans including the elimination diet, mediterranean diet, low-FODMAP, autoimmune paleo, ketogenic diet, and more.
Can functional medicine help if I’m tired all the time?
Yes. Fatigue is a common symptom we treat. It can be affected by many factors, including: stress, poor sleep, low thyroid function, adrenal dysregulation, nutrient depletion, or hormone imbalance — all of which we test for and address through a comprehensive, personalized plan.
How do I get started?
Your first step is a comprehensive initial consultation, where we’ll discuss your health history, current symptoms, goals, and lifestyle. From there, we’ll determine which labs are needed and begin crafting a personalized plan to help you feel like yourself again — or better.
