How We Work Together

Functional medicine is a structured process focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms.

All clients begin with an initial consultation where we review their health history and determine the best path forward.

How Functional Medicine Works

A step-by-step process designed to investigate the underlying drivers of your symptoms. Our process typically unfolds in four stages.

  • We begin with an in-depth review of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and previous testing.

    This visit helps identify potential root causes and determine which laboratory testing may be helpful.

  • Functional medicine uses specialized testing to better understand how your body is functioning.

    This often includes a comprehensive blood panel along with other targeted tests depending on your symptoms.

  • Once testing is complete, we review the results in detail and develop a personalized treatment strategy focused on addressing the underlying drivers of your symptoms.

  • Healing takes time and requires monitoring and phasing of protocols. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor progress, adjust protocols, and guide the process of restoring health over time.


Functional medicine focuses on identifying the underlying drivers of symptoms. Rather than only managing symptoms, our approach investigates foundational factors such as gut health, nutrient status, hormones, immune function, toxic burden and lifestyle patterns to help us discover the root drivers of your issues so you can heal naturally from the inside-out.

Advanced Lab Testing

Functional medicine relies on targeted laboratory testing to help identify the underlying drivers of symptoms.

Most clients begin with two to three tests to investigate areas such as gut health, nutrient status, hormone balance, immune reactivity, or metabolic function.

Depending on the findings and your progress, follow-up testing may be recommended later in the process to assess improvements or refine the treatment plan.

Examples of commonly used tests include:

  • Comprehensive blood panels

  • Stool testing for gut health

  • Hormone testing

  • Organic acids testing

  • Immune reactivity panels

  • Environmental toxin testing

  • Mitochondrial function testing

  • DNA testing

Testing recommendations vary based on individual symptoms and health history.
