WHAT TO EXPECT

We take the time to hear the whole story, because the connections between your symptoms and the underlying causes are where the answers live.

You’ll leave understanding not just what to do, but why — and with a plan that’s genuinely yours.

Common questions

How long is the first appointment?

Your 90-minute initial consultation gives us time to understand your health history, hear your story, and learn about your goals. By getting to know you as a whole person, we can create a personalized plan to help you achieve your best health.  

Do I need a referral or labs first?

No referral or lab work is required before your first visit. If you've had labs done within the past year, we'll review them during your consultation. If needed, we may recommend additional testing to get the most up-to-date information, including specialized markers that aren't typically included in routine lab work.  

How soon will I see results?

Many patients begin to notice positive changes within the first 30 to 60 days, with more substantial improvements often occurring over three to six months. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the causes of illness, so the timeline varies based on each individual’s health history and goals.

Is this a replacement for my primary care?

No. Functional medicine is designed to work alongside your primary care provider, enhancing your overall treatment plan. Its goal is to address underlying factors affecting your health and help you achieve a higher level of wellness and long-term vitality.
