FAQ’s

Getting Started

  • We take an integrative approach combining functional and Chinese medicine. We utilize food therapy and nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle support, interpreting labs, and acupuncture. Our focus is understanding why symptoms are happening so your body can heal and regulate long-term — not just manage symptoms.

  • The Practice is for people who are ready to prioritize their health and get to the root of ongoing symptoms.

    We commonly support:

    • Fertility

    • Hormone imbalances and conditions such as endometriosis or PCOS

    • Gut and digestive issues

    • Mold exposure and detox support

    • Chronic stress, burnout, and fatigue

    • Skin concerns like acne

    • Metabolic conditions, weight resistance or fluctuations

  • We believe symptoms are signals — they only grow louder the longer we ignore them. Acne, bloating, painful cycles, fatigue, and mood changes all point to internal imbalances.

    Healing isn’t a quick fix — it requires personalized, sustainable changes that support the whole person.

  • Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of very thin needles at specific points on the body. Treatments should not be painful and do not involve stinging or burning.

    Acupuncture is one of the fastest ways to shift the body out of fight-or-flight and into a state of rest and repair. It supports stress regulation, hormone balance, digestion, sleep, and overall healing.

Investment

  • Functional medicine is not typically covered by insurance. Many clients use HSA/FSA funds, and we can provide superbills for possible reimbursement (not guaranteed).

  • Yes, payment plans are available and can be discussed during your consultation.

Lab Testing

  • We use advanced functional lab testing to understand what’s really happening in your body. Testing may include:

    • Hormone testing

    • Gut microbiome testing (GI-MAP)

    • Advanced thyroid panels

    • Metabolic and nutrient markers

    • Food sensitivity

  • Absolutely. We welcome labs from your primary care doctor or other providers. Reviewing existing labs helps us understand your health history, identify patterns, and decide if additional testing is needed — so we’re not repeating what’s already been done and can build a more complete picture of your health.
