How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?
Functional medicine is different because it doesn’t just treat symptoms—it gets to the root of what’s really going on in your body. While conventional medicine often focuses on managing individual symptoms with medications, functional medicine looks at the bigger picture, considering your unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and experiences.
This holistic approach is designed to uncover the underlying causes of issues like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and sleepless nights. By understanding what’s driving these imbalances, we can work together to create a personalized plan that supports your body’s natural healing process. Functional medicine offers lasting solutions, not just temporary fixes, helping you feel truly well, energized, and in control of your health.
What can I expect during the no-charge Start Your Transformation Today strategy call?
During your Start Your Transformation Today strategy call, we’ll have a relaxed conversation about your health concerns, goals, and any obstacles you’re currently facing. This is your chance to share your experiences while I gain a deeper understanding of how I can support you. Together, we’ll explore potential next steps and see if we’re a good fit for working together—no obligations, just a chance to connect.
How is Functional Medicine different from what I’ve experienced with my primary care doctor?
Functional medicine sets itself apart by looking beyond symptoms to identify the root causes of your health challenges. While conventional medicine often focuses on managing individual symptoms with medications, functional medicine takes a holistic approach. We consider your unique genetics, lifestyle, and experiences to uncover the underlying issues affecting your well-being. This empowers us to create a personalized plan that supports your body’s natural healing processes, leading to lasting improvements in your health.
Does insurance cover Functional Medicine services?
Functional medicine often isn’t covered by insurance due to its distinct approach compared to traditional care. Instead of focusing solely on diagnosing and treating symptoms, functional medicine looks at the whole person to address root causes. This can result in some services not being covered directly. However, you may be able to utilize flexible spending accounts (FSA) or health savings accounts (HSA) to help offset costs. I’m here to assist you in exploring these options and making informed decisions for your health journey.
What's the connection between hormones and feeling 'not like myself'?
Hormones play a crucial role in regulating mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. When hormones are imbalanced, it can lead to feelings of fatigue, irritability, and a sense of disconnection from yourself. Functional medicine helps identify these imbalances and supports you in restoring harmony.
Can functional medicine help with hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause?
Absolutely! Functional medicine provides a comprehensive approach to managing hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause. We focus on balancing hormones through diet, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplements, helping you feel more like yourself again.
Are the appointments done virtually?
Yes! All appointments are conducted virtually, allowing you to connect from the comfort of your own home. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate your health journey into your busy life. Whether you’re managing fatigue, balancing hormones, or pursuing other wellness goals, you’ll receive the same personalized and in-depth care as you would in an in-person visit.
What Conditions Can Functional Medicine Address?
Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
What happens during a Functional Medicine consultation?
In our consultations, we’ll embark on a deep exploration of your health journey, focusing on the root causes of what’s been holding you back. We’ll discuss your daily experiences, struggles with fatigue, mood, sleep, or any other concerns you may have.

Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan that feels manageable and aligned with your goals—whether it’s balancing hormones, boosting energy, or alleviating daily stress.

Functional medicine looks at the root causes of fatigue and weight gain, considering factors like hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and lifestyle habits. By addressing these underlying issues, we can help you regain your energy and achieve a healthier weight.
How Long Does it Take to See Results with Functional Medicine?
The timeline for seeing results with functional medicine can vary depending on your unique health situation and goals. Many of my clients start noticing improvements within a few weeks, such as better sleep, increased energy, or reduced symptoms. However, since functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes and making sustainable changes, the most significant transformations often take a bit longer—typically a few months. Patience and commitment to your personalized plan are key, and we’ll be with you every step of the way to support and guide you through the process. Your journey to feeling your best is worth the investment, and the positive changes you experience will be well worth the wait.
