(Warm, friendly, and zero miracle cures—promise.)
What exactly is “functional medicine,” anyway?
Think of functional medicine as detective work for your health. Instead of chasing symptoms around, we look for the patterns and imbalances underneath them—kind of like finding the loose puzzle pieces that keep the whole picture from fitting together. With gentle, thoughtful steps (never overwhelm), we help your body move toward feeling its best.
Do you put everyone on strict diets or tons of supplements?
Nope. Absolutely not.
We’re all about minimum intervention for maximum benefit. That means simple, sustainable shifts that work for your real life—not a 40-item supplement list or a meal plan that makes you cry in the grocery store. If supplements are recommended, it’s only when they’re truly helpful, and always in a way that fits your goals and your budget.
Is this an alternative to my regular doctor?
Not at all. We love your other providers!
We believe the best care happens when everyone works together. If something is outside our scope—or if you need help from a specialist—we’ll refer you without hesitation. No ego, no turf wars, just the support you deserve.
What kinds of concerns do people come to you for?
Most folks come to us for things like digestive quirks, hormone ups-and-downs, low energy, or simply wanting to feel more at home in their bodies. Kids and teens come to us for feeding challenges, tummy trouble, and building healthy relationships with food. If your body is sending you messages and you want help translating them—we’re here.
Will you make me give up my favorite foods?
Only if you want to (and honestly, we hope you don’t).
Food is culture, comfort, celebration, and connection. We’ll work with your preferences, traditions, and lifestyle to build something that feels supportive, not restrictive. A healthy relationship with food is always the priority.
How do you make sure this is a safe and inclusive space?
We do everything we can to meet you with curiosity, kindness, and zero judgment.
We are:
- Trauma-informed
- Committed to eliminating weight stigma
- Respectful of all cultures, identities, and dietary traditions
- Mindful of financial and access limitations
Your story matters, and you get to move at a pace that feels right for you.
Do you help kids and teens, too?
We sure do! We work gently and collaboratively to support feeding concerns, digestive issues, picky eating patterns, and helping kids grow into confident, lifelong eaters with healthy body awareness. No shame, no pressure—just guidance that meets them where they are.
What if I’m overwhelmed and don’t know where to start?
That’s actually the perfect place to begin.
We’ll help you sort your priorities, choose simple steps, and move forward without the pressure to “fix everything at once.” Little changes, big difference—that’s our style.
If you have more questions (or just want to know whether we’re the right fit), we’re always happy to chat.
