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.
