Common Questions

Functional medicine is a root-cause approach to care that looks beyond symptoms to identify the underlying causes of imbalance in the body.

This approach combines evidence-based science with individualized support, lifestyle strategies, nutrition, stress management, targeted pharmaceutical grade supplementation, mind-body therapies and advanced lab testing to provide meaningful guidance and lasting change.

Conventional medicine often operates under significant time constraints and usually focuses on managing symptoms with medications or surgery. Functional medicine allows for a more in-depth approach aimed at identifying and addressing the root causes of imbalance, while also offering holistic recommendations to help prevent illness and promote wellness.

Your nutrition plan is thoughtfully tailored to your medical history, food preferences, and current concerns to help address inflammation and imbalance. Often, this includes temporary changes as well as a long-term commitment to nourishing whole foods and a sustainable shift toward a healthier relationship with food.

Not necessarily. Our goal is to help you find balance and create sustainable changes that support healing without feeling overly restrictive. Depending on what we uncover during your evaluation, some adjustments may be recommended. We work together to find realistic alternatives and modifications that fit your preferences and that you’ll feel good about.

No, unfortunately we can not accept insurance. To identify root causes and achieve better results, we use advanced lab testing that is not typically covered by insurance. FSA and HSA funds can typically be applied towards the cost of services, and we can provide a detailed invoice for you to submit to your insurance company or health-share plan for possible reimbursement.

We offer a la carte visits for a set fee, as well as coaching packages for those seeking more personalized support and accountability. We have a limited number of openings for 4- to 6-month functional medicine coaching packages. Please visit our Services page for more details.

Labs are not included in consultation or coaching package pricing. We may be able to use recent labs from your primary care provider, however advanced labs are typically not covered by insurance. Please visit our Services page for examples of common lab tests and typical costs.

Lasting change rarely happens by chance. On stressful days, it’s natural to slip back into old patterns, which is why coaching can make such a difference.

A coaching package provides personalized guidance, accountability, evaluates what is working (and what is not), and perspective needed to refine your approach, help you stay consistent and build habits that last.

It is not about perfection or quick fixes. It is about creating sustainable changes that feel supportive, doable, and aligned with your daily life.
