Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does functional medicine address?
Functional medicine is particularly effective for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions, gut disorders, metabolic syndrome, treatment-resistant depression, and any condition where conventional medicine hasn't found answers.
How is functional medicine different from conventional care?
Conventional medicine typically treats symptoms with medications. Functional medicine investigates why those symptoms exist — using advanced testing to identify root causes like inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, gut dysbiosis, or toxin exposure.
What kind of testing is involved?
We use advanced labs beyond standard panels — including inflammatory markers, comprehensive metabolic testing, micronutrient levels, gut microbiome analysis, heavy metals, and hormonal panels. Testing is tailored to your specific presentation.
Is functional medicine covered by insurance?
Standard lab work is often covered. Some advanced specialty testing may not be. We discuss costs upfront and prioritize the most clinically relevant testing for your situation.
