FAQ's

Functional medicine practitioners dedicate time to listen and understand your detailed health history. This comprehensive approach uncovers interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence your long-term health and contribute to complex, chronic conditions.

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why we take a personalized, root-cause approach. We use advanced lab testing, in-depth assessments, and whole-body healing strategies tailored to your unique needs. Rather than masking symptoms, we uncover why your body is out of balance and create a plan designed specifically for you. When you support your body with what it truly needs, real healing happens.

Although Dr. Jamie is a board certified family medicine practitioner, our practice structure does not allow her to be available at the level of acuity necessary for a primary care practice. As your functional medicine practitioner, we require that you maintain your primary care provider (PCP) for routine screening exams such as pap smears, colonoscopies, prostate exams, etc. and for urgent situations requiring immediate care or hospitalization. However, we are happy to work collaboratively with your PCP and/or specialists as needed.

Results will vary from person to person. Some people feel dramatically better within the first month of treatment, whereas others take a bit longer to notice an improvement. On average, it takes one month of healing for each year that you’ve suffered from a specific problem. It’s important to remember that you didn’t get sick overnight, this is a result of years of stress and illness taking its toll on your body, so it takes time to heal and restore.

For most conditions, it is recommended that you retest at the 6-month mark to measure improvement and compare results to initial labs, adjusting the treatment protocol as needed. Once you have achieved your desired health outcome, we recommend retesting annually in order to ensure health optimization.
