Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started with Functional Medicine
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a root-cause approach to health, focusing on identifying and addressing the underlying imbalances that lead to symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medication, functional medicine uses advanced testing, personalized protocols, and holistic strategies (nutrition, lifestyle, targeted supplementation) to support long-term healing.
Who is Functional Medicine for?
Functional medicine is for anyone struggling with unresolved health issues or looking to optimize their well-being. It’s particularly effective for people who:
- Have chronic symptoms but no clear answers from conventional medicine.
- Feel like they’ve tried everything (diet changes, medications, supplements) but still don’t feel their best.
- Want a personalized, science-based approach to their health.
- Are high achievers, entrepreneurs, or professionals who need sustained energy, focus, and resilience.
What conditions do you treat?
Functional medicine can help with a wide range of chronic symptoms and conditions, including:
Cognitive & Neurological:
• Brain fog, memory issues, poor concentration
• Chronic fatigue and low energy
• Sleep disturbances and insomnia
Digestive Health:
• IBS, bloating, acid reflux, SIBO, leaky gut
• Food sensitivities and intolerances
• Chronic constipation or diarrhea
Inflammation & Autoimmune Issues:
• Joint pain, headaches, fibromyalgia
• Skin conditions like eczema, acne, psoriasis
• Chronic pain syndromes
Hormonal Imbalances:
• Thyroid issues (hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s)
• PCOS, irregular cycles, PMS, menopause symptoms
• Adrenal dysfunction (burnout, HPA-axis dysregulation)
Metabolic & Weight Concerns:
• Blood sugar imbalances and insulin resistance
• Stubborn weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• High cholesterol or blood pressure
If you’re unsure whether functional medicine is right for you, book a free consultation to discuss your health concerns.
The Process & What to Expect
How do I get started?
1️⃣ Book a Consultation Call – This is a 90-minute deep dive into your health history, symptoms, and lab results (if available). We’ll uncover the root causes behind your symptoms and map out a strategy for healing.
2️⃣ Get a Personalized Plan – You’ll receive a custom functional medicine program, including nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, a supplement protocol (3-6 phases), mindset techniques, and movement guidance.
3️⃣ Ongoing Support – Over 3 months, we’ll have regular follow-up calls and unlimited access via email/Voxer to adjust your plan as needed.
4️⃣ Results & Long-Term Wellness – By the end of the program, you’ll have a strong foundation for continued health and vitality. Many clients see dramatic improvements within weeks.
Do I have to do lab testing?
The core of functional medicine is identifying the root cause of your symptoms, which can only be accurately done through comprehensive lab testing. It’s a cornerstone of my approach.
Lab tests provide crucial insights into your unique biochemical and physiological makeup—insights that simply can’t be fully understood through symptoms alone. What sets my programs apart is my ability to read and interpret these lab results at a very high level, bringing together the complete clinical picture of your health. This allows me to tailor a precise, individualized treatment plan designed for lasting wellness.
In functional medicine, we don’t just guess—we test to ensure we’re addressing the true cause of your health concerns. While lab testing is not mandatory, it’s highly recommended as it enables us to create the most effective, targeted plan for your healing journey.
What types of lab tests do you offer?
I offer comprehensive functional lab testing, including:
- Organic Acids Test (OAT) – Metabolic function, gut health, detox pathways
- GI Map (stool test) – Gut microbiome, pathogens, inflammation
- DUTCH Hormone Test – Cortisol, adrenal function, estrogen/progesterone balance
- Genomic Testing – DNA-based insights into metabolism, detox, and longevity
Can I do this if I'm already on medication?
Yes! Functional medicine works alongside conventional medicine. We won’t ask you to stop taking medications, but rather, we’ll support your body’s healing in ways that may reduce reliance on them over time (with your doctor’s guidance).
Do you work with international clients?
Yes! My programs are 100% virtual, meaning you can work with me from anywhere in the world. Some lab tests may have shipping restrictions, but I’ll help you navigate alternative options if needed.
