Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a personalized, science-based healthcare approach that focuses on understanding the root causes of illness by considering each patient’s unique physiological and biochemical makeup. It involves identifying underlying health issues through objective testing and assessing factors such as symptoms, lifestyle, and history. The goal is to restore balance by tailoring treatments specifically to the individual. This approach aims to address the "why" behind diseases, remove causes of dysfunction, and bring the body back to a state of allostasis, or optimal balance. It's all about piecing together a person’s health puzzle to create a customized, holistic treatment plan.

The Process
Initial Interest
We’ll start by discussing your health goals and the commitment required to ensure this process is a good fit for you. Our aim is to ensure functional medicine aligns with your unique needs and expectations.
Schedule Intake Appointment
Once we’ve had an initial conversation, we’ll schedule your first appointment. The cost of the Functional Medicine package is due at the time of booking, which covers the first intake appointment and one follow-up visit. Within 24 hours of booking, you’ll receive a link to complete your functional medicine intake forms. Dr. Jessica is invested in your functional medicine journey! To ensure she is fully prepared for your time together, intake forms must be completed at least one week prior to your appointment. If the forms are not submitted in time, we will reach out to reschedule. This process allows her to review your health history thoroughly and thoughtfully craft a personalized plan.
Complete Intake Forms
You’ll fill out the functional medicine intake forms, providing a comprehensive overview of your medical history, any previous lab results, and your health goals. This will provide a clear picture of where you are now and where you want to go.
First Appointment (1 Hour)
During your first visit, Dr. Jessica will review your medical history, address any initial findings, and may perform a physical exam based on your health history. She’ll take time to discuss your health goals and outline any necessary next steps, including additional testing if needed.
