Symptoms I Help You Decode and Resolve

Many of these symptoms are interconnected—often rooted in gut dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and chronic inflammation. My holistic, personalized approach identifies the root cause so you can feel like yourself again.

  • Digestive Issues: Gas, bloating, cramping after meals, nausea, food intolerances, acid reflux, and irregular bowel movements (constipation or diarrhea)

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Irregular or heavy periods, hot flashes, night sweats, and stubborn belly fat

  • Mood & Cognitive Changes: Mood swings, anxiety, depression, brain fog, memory issues, and energy crashes

  • Sleep Disruptions: Trouble falling or staying asleep, waking frequently, restless legs, and feeling unrefreshed in the morning

  • Metabolic Challenges: Unexplained weight gain, difficulty losing weight, cravings for sugar and carbs, and fatigue after eating

  • Low Energy & Physical Signs: Fatigue, hair thinning, dry skin, and overall reduced vitality

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

In today's fast-paced world, many healthcare approaches focus on “managing symptoms” rather than solving the root problem.   Functional Medicine takes a different approach—one that is science-driven, strategic, and results-oriented. It’s about identifying the underlying causes  of health issues and creating a targeted, personalized plan to restore balance and vitality.

Whether you want to prevent illness or are already dealing with fatigue, digestive issues, inflammation, lowered immunity, or chronic symptoms, Functional Medicine can help you restore your health from the inside out.

Why I Chose Functional Medicine

As a pediatric dentist, I’ve always been passionate about health and wellness.  For years, I followed traditional healthcare approaches, believing that medicine had all the answers. But when I faced my own serious health challenges, I quickly realized that conventional medicine often treats symptoms, not the root cause—and that approach wasn’t enough.  

I found myself struggling with weight issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, gut health issues and cardiac rhythm abnormalities.  It was a wake-up call. I knew I needed to take control of my health, but no one could give me clear answers. Instead, I was offered medications that only masked symptoms rather than solving the real problem. 

I knew there had to be a better way.  

That search led me to Functional Medicine, where I discovered how deeply connected  hormones, gut health, inflammation, immunity, cardiovascular function, and lifestyle choices work together.  By addressing the root cause of my imbalances—rather than just treating symptoms—I was able to heal my gut, restore my energy, and regain control over my health.  

Today, I’m not just healthier—I’m thriving. And I’m here to help you do the same.  

I founded my Axis Functional Wellness Coaching  practice because I know firsthand how frustrating it is to feel tired, unwell, and unheard. Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, inflammation, digestion issues, hormonal imbalances, or just feeling “off”, there is a real solution—one that is tailored to  YOUR  body, backed by science, and designed for long-term health.  

You don’t have to accept feeling less than your best.  Let’s uncover the root cause, create a strategy, and get you back to the healthiest, strongest version of yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a personalized, science-based approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of illness rather than just treating symptoms.

How is Functional Medicine different from traditional medicine?

Traditional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating symptoms with medications or procedures. Functional Medicine looks at the whole body, identifying underlying imbalances in gut health, hormones, inflammation, and lifestyle factors to create a customized treatment plan.

Who can benefit from Functional Medicine?

Anyone experiencing chronic fatigue, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or unexplained symptoms that haven’t been resolved with conventional treatments. It’s also beneficial for those wanting to optimize their health and prevent future illness.

What conditions do you help with?

I work with a wide range of health concerns, including:

  • Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, pain)

  • Hormonal imbalances (PMS, perimenopause, menopause, thyroid dysfunction)

  • Chronic fatigue and brain fogSleep disturbances

  • Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions

  • Metabolic and weight challenges

What can I expect during my first consultation?

In our first session, we will discuss your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. From there, we will create a personalized plan that may include dietary changes, targeted supplements, lifestyle adjustments, and advanced testing recommendations if needed.

Do you offer lab testing?

Yes, I use functional lab testing to assess gut health, hormones, inflammation, and nutritional deficiencies. These tests provide valuable insights to guide your personalized plan. If you have labs that were taken within the last 6 months, many times we can use them also.

What kind of results can I expect?

Every person is unique, but many clients experience improvements in energy, digestion, sleep, mental clarity, and overall well-being within weeks of implementing their plan. Long-term healing depends on consistency and addressing underlying issues which can take longer to resolve.

Do you work with clients virtually or in person?

I offer virtual coaching sessions so you can receive personalized guidance from the comfort of your home.

How long does the process take?

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. Some people notice improvements in a few weeks, while others may take a few months to fully restore balance. The goal is sustainable, long-term health, not a quick fix.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing varies depending on the level of support and testing involved.  You can schedule a FREE  discovery call for a consultation to discuss the best plan for you.
