What is Functional Wellness?

You may have noticed that I describe my practice as “Functional Wellness” rather than functional medicine — and there’s an important reason for that distinction. I am a certified functional medicine practitioner and health coach, but I do not write prescriptions or provide medical care. I do not make medical diagnoses, treat or cure disease, or provide prescriptions.

What I do offer is something I find deeply meaningful: a root-cause approach to understanding what’s happening in your body.

My work centers on advanced laboratory testing that reveals the underlying causes of physiologic imbalances — the things that conventional care often misses. Drawing on evidence-based methodologies from the Institute for Functional Medicine and the guidance of my mentors, I develop personalized 16-week health and wellness programs tailored to each client’s history, goals, and lab findings.

No two programs look the same, because no two people are the same. That’s the whole point.

If you’d like to hear more about my approach and what a functional wellness practice actually looks like in practice, I’d love for you to listen to a recent podcast episode where I talk through all of it in detail.
