FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Discover the root. Reclaim your health.
At Source Healing, our Functional Medicine approach is more than just managing symptoms—it's about uncovering the why beneath the what.
We take a deep dive into your unique biology to understand how your biological systems are working—or not working—together, and what’s at the root of your health concerns.
If you've been told “everything looks normal,” but you still feel off, you're not alone.
Functional Medicine goes beyond standard labs to explore your body’s full story. We use comprehensive diagnostic testing to investigate gut health, hormones, micronutrient levels, toxic burden, inflammation markers, food sensitivities, and more—illuminating what’s really going on beneath the surface.
But testing is just the beginning. We translate the science into a plan that’s intuitive, nourishing, and tailored to you. Whether you're facing chronic fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, hormone imbalances, infertility, chronic pain, digestive issues, or mystery symptoms that no one has been able to explain—we create a personalized roadmap to restore balance and vitality.

FAQ
-
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a root-cause approach to healthcare that looks at how and why illness occurs. It uses advanced testing and a personalized treatment plan to restore balance across body systems like digestion, hormones, immune function, and detoxification. Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, it focuses on the underlying issues that cause them.
-
Who can benefit from Functional Medicine?
Anyone with chronic health issues, unexplained symptoms, fatigue, digestive concerns, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, or simply a desire to optimize health can benefit. It is also a great option for people who haven’t found answers through conventional medicine.
-
What’s the difference between a naturopathic doctor and a functional medicine doctor?
A naturopathic doctor is trained in natural therapies and whole-person care, often with a medical degree from an accredited ND program. A functional medicine doctor may come from any healthcare background (MD, DO, ND, etc.) and has additional training in root-cause, systems-based medicine. Many providers blend both approaches for optimal care.
-
What does a typical treatment plan look like?
Treatment plans are highly individualized but may include nutrition changes, targeted supplements, detox support, stress management, and lifestyle guidance. Follow-up testing may be used to track progress and fine-tune your plan. The goal is to create long-term balance, not just temporary relief. Some people notice improvements within weeks, while others with long-standing issues may take longer. Our goal is sustainable, long-term healing, not quick fixes that don’t last.
-
Why get functional labs if I’ve already had standard bloodwork done? Aren’t they the same?
Not quite. Standard labs are typically designed to detect disease by flagging results that fall outside a wide “normal” range. That means you could still feel tired, anxious, or unwell and be told everything looks fine. Functional labs go deeper by focusing on optimal ranges where your body feels and functions at its best. They help catch subtle imbalances before they develop into chronic issues and often include more comprehensive panels like gut health, hormones, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, and inflammation markers. Because most health issues are interconnected, functional labs help proactively uncover the root causes, not just the symptoms, so we can build a personalized plan that supports true healing.
-
Why is this approach more expensive than just going through insurance?
Most insurance plans only cover conventional, symptom-based care, not personalized, root-cause healing. While functional and naturopathic care may be an upfront investment, it often saves time, money, and frustration in the long run by helping you truly get better, not just manage symptoms indefinitely.

Do I really need to make all these changes all at once? It feels like a lot.
We understand that it can feel overwhelming at first. Healing is a journey, not a race. You won’t need to change everything overnight, and we’ll prioritize what matters most for your body right now. The recommendations we make—whether supplements or lifestyle shifts—are meant to be temporary, targeted support to help your body rebalance and heal. Think of it like scaffolding: it's there while repairs happen but won’t be needed forever. We'll move at a pace that feels manageable, with the goal of long-term simplicity, sustainability, and empowering your body thrive naturally.
