Personalized care that looks at the whole picture
When you know something feels off but have been told that everything looks “normal,” it can be hard to know what to do next. Functional medicine takes a closer look at your symptoms, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, and lab results to identify patterns that may be contributing to how you feel.
My approach is personal and practical. Rather than placing every patient on the same protocol, we’ll work together to create a plan that makes sense for your body, your goals, and your real life.

Areas We Can Explore Together
Functional medicine may be a good fit if you are looking for support with:
-
Hormone concerns, including PCOS, PMS, PMDD, and irregular cycles
-
Postpartum recovery and nutrient repletion
-
Thyroid health
-
Digestive concerns, including bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, and suspected SIBO
-
Fatigue, low energy, and brain fog
-
Nutrient deficiencies
-
Blood sugar, cholesterol, and metabolic health
-
Inflammation and autoimmune-related concerns
-
Skin concerns that may be connected to hormones, digestion, or nutrition
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or know which test you need. We’ll start with your story, review what has already been done, and decide together what makes sense next.
What Functional Medicine Looks Like With Me
We start with the full story
Your symptoms do not exist in isolation. During your first visit, we’ll talk through your health history, current concerns, nutrition, digestion, sleep, stress, menstrual or postpartum history when relevant, medications and supplements, and the goals that matter most to you.
We use testing thoughtfully
Lab testing can help us look for patterns involving nutrient status, thyroid function, blood sugar, inflammation, hormones, and digestive health. I may recommend foundational bloodwork or specialty testing when it is likely to change your care plan—not simply because a test is available.
Depending on your needs, specialty testing may include:
-
Comprehensive stool testing
-
SIBO breath testing
-
Hormone and adrenal testing
-
Organic acids testing
-
Mycotoxin testing
-
Expanded nutrient, metabolic, thyroid, or inflammatory markers
We build a personalized plan
Your recommendations may include:
-
Realistic nutrition and dietary changes
-
Targeted supplements when appropriate
-
Support for digestion and gut health
-
Blood sugar and metabolic support
-
Sleep, stress, movement, and recovery strategies
-
Coordination with your primary care provider or other members of your healthcare team
The goal is not perfection or a restrictive plan you cannot maintain. It is to give you clear priorities, explain why they matter, and help you make changes that feel manageable.
What to Expect
Initial Functional Medicine Visit
Your first visit is a comprehensive review of your health history, symptoms, previous testing, current medications and supplements, nutrition, lifestyle, and goals. After the visit, we’ll determine which laboratory testing—if any—would be most useful and outline your first steps.
Results Review and Personalized Plan
Once your results are available, we’ll walk through them together in plain language. You’ll leave with a prioritized plan that may include nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations, along with a timeline for reassessment.
Follow-Up Care
Follow-up visits allow us to evaluate how you are responding, adjust your plan, address new concerns, and decide when repeat testing may be helpful. The frequency of follow-up care is personalized to your needs and goals.
