Functional Medicine FAQ
Answers to common questions about our root-cause, whole-person approach.
What is functional medicine?
What kind of testing do you use?
Functional medicine is a root-cause approach that focuses on understanding the origins of disease rather than just managing symptoms. We look at biochemistry, genetics, and lifestyle to create a truly personalized healing plan.
We utilize advanced functional lab testing, including comprehensive blood panels, stool analysis, salivary hormone testing, and organic acid tests to get a deep look into your metabolic and cellular health.
How long does it take to see results?
What should I expect at my first visit?
Timeline varies by individual, but many patients feel initial improvements within 4-6 weeks. Chronic issues often require a 3-to-6 month commitment to address deep-seated imbalances and sustain healing.
Your initial consultation is a deep dive into your medical history and lifestyle. We discuss your health goals and determine which specialized tests are needed to map out your unique recovery path.
Do you work with my current doctor?
Is functional medicine covered by insurance?
Absolutely. Functional medicine is a bridge between holistic and conventional care. We are happy to collaborate with your primary care provider or specialists to ensure you receive integrated support.
While we don't bill insurance directly, we provide detailed superbills that you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA funds are typically accepted for appointments and labs.
Can I do appointments remotely?
What conditions do you treat?
Yes, we offer telehealth consultations for your convenience. We can ship lab kits directly to your home and review results via secure video conferencing.
We specialize in hormone imbalances, gut health, autoimmune concerns, chronic fatigue, and cognitive health. Our focus is on restoring balance to your body's critical systems.
