It is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare, focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of feeling unwell, feeling not at your best or of disease. It looks at the whole person, using a combination of lifestyle changes, nutrition, and integrative therapies to restore optimal function. It sees health on a spectrum and aims to prevent dysfunction and disease in the body, leveraging the body’s innate abilities to heal and recover when there is dysfunction or disease present.
A wide range of conditions, such as but not limited to:
No, functional medicine works alongside conventional medical care. You need to have an established primary care provider that you continue to see while also integrating functional medicine to improve overall health and address your specific problems.
Treatments may include dietary changes, targeted supplements, lifestyle modifications (sleep, stress management, exercise, movement, outdoor time, light therapy, social support and connection), detox protocols, addressing environmental factors like toxins and possibly usage medication like bioidentical hormones. The focus is on restoring harmony and optimal function to your body’s systems.
The deep dive assessment involves a comprehensive approach, including a detailed health history, symptom questionnaires, lab tests and in depth conversation. Going further in working together, assessments can also include more advanced blood work, hormone panels, gut health tests and genetic testing, lifestyle evaluations such as sleep patterns, stress levels, activity, light exposure, movement & exercise patterns and more in depth conversations, support and connection to ensure you are getting the personalized care you need.
Functional medicine looks at factors that influence hormonal balance, such as nutrition, stress, sleep, toxins, gut health, movement, circadian rhythm and so much more. The goal is to support the body’s natural ability to balance hormones and restore optimal functioning, whether you’re dealing with PMS, perimenopause, post menopause or thyroid issues.
Results vary based on individual health conditions and goals. Some people notice improvements in a few weeks, while others may take months to see significant changes. It’s important to be patient and consistent–what you do every day matters far more than what you do every once in awhile. You will be learning and adopting a lifestyle to establish and evolve, new habits, rituals and a way of being which takes time and effort.
I use a direct pay model because it offers more flexibility, allows for comprehensive care without insurance restrictions, and ensures better quality treatment for patients. By not relying on insurance, I can focus on prevention, root-cause resolution, and a more personalized approach to health that aligns with the values of functional medicine and each patient’s health and life goals.
Supplements may be recommended to fill nutritional gaps, support detoxification, or restore balance to specific systems (e.g., hormones, gut health, sleep). However, they are not always necessary and are used based on individual needs. Most supplements will be recommended through Fullscript, where Rewild Women’s Health patients receive a 15% discount on the entire catalog.
