Question 1

1. What makes Functional Medicine different?

Accepted Answer

Functional Medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of symptoms through personalized care, rather than just treating the symptoms themselves. It often includes detailed health assessments, advanced lab testing, and customized treatment plans.

Question 2

2. What can I expect during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your initial consultation is a thorough, personalized session. Providers will explore your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and possibly review any lab results you already have to determine the best diagnostic and treatment path.

Question 3

3. Is Functional Medicine treatment covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, treatments are not covered by insurance. However, many labs are eligible for HSA/FSA use, and itemized receipts can often be submitted to insurance for possible reimbursement.

Question 4

4. How do you test for underlying health issues?

Accepted Answer

We utilize functional lab testing—covering blood, saliva, and stool samples—which can be collected in home or through a lab. This helps us detect cellular‑level imbalances that traditional testing might miss.

Question 5

5. Will I need to take supplements or make lifestyle changes?

Accepted Answer

Yes—based on your test results, you may receive recommendations for high‑quality supplements, dietary adjustments, and personalized lifestyle changes. Some recommendations may be short‑term, others ongoing.

Question 6

6. Can I continue seeing my primary care doctor?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We welcome collaboration and can share your treatment plan with your primary provider if you'd like. We offer a complementary, whole‑body approach, rather than primary care.

Question 7

7. Do you offer telehealth services or virtual consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer secure virtual visits so you can connect with our providers from the comfort of your home. This makes follow-ups, lab reviews, and personalized care easy and accessible—no matter where you are.
