Functional Medicine

What is Functional Medicine?

What to expect at your first appointment.

Your first appointment with Holistic Family Wellness is a time for us to listen to you, your concerns, and your aspirations for your health and wellness.

We take the time to truly understand what you are experiencing, and then follow that up with initial on-site testing so you can leave your first appointment with a plan.

What makes your initial appointment at Holistic Family Wellness unique from traditional medicine and other functional medicine clinics is the in-office testing we perform here.

Two crucial areas in the body that can be the nexus of root-cause symptoms are the gut and the adrenals. In the past, a patient would have to leave the first initial appointment with take-home test kits, collect samples at home, mail them off, wait three weeks for results, and return to our office for a follow-up to have those results read and interpreted.

These tests combined could cost more than $500.

Today, we do in-office testing and have focused answers, with a 10-minute test, on gut dysbiosis and the state of adrenals.

This gives us a focused, specific, individualized plan the patient can leave with on day one for their specific symptoms and needs.

This can save $500 or more on tests and put someone four weeks ahead working on their symptoms and improving their health while not having to wait on lengthy mail-in test results.

We also do a functional urine dip assessment, which can tell us if you are mineral or nutrient-deficient in certain areas and the state of your stomach and liver, among other things.
