# Holistic Family Wellness

> Holistic Family Wellness is a functional medicine and aesthetics practice on the north side of Indianapolis, Indiana. Owned and operated by nurse practitioners Chad Sperry, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, and Natalie Sperry, FNP, the practice helps patients get to the root causes of chronic symptoms through in-office assessments, on-site testing, and individualized treatment plans that often go deeper than traditional medicine.

## About the Practice

Holistic Family Wellness serves Indianapolis and surrounding Central Indiana communities. The practice was founded on a simple belief: patients deserve a provider who listens to them and shares their values. Many patients arrive after seeing doctor after doctor without answers, feeling unseen and unheard by a cycle of providers who medicate symptoms and move on. Holistic Family Wellness takes a different approach, listening first, then building an individualized plan that targets the underlying cause rather than masking symptoms.

## Services

### Functional Medicine

- [Functional Medicine](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/functional-medicine/): Root-cause care built on listening, thorough evaluation, and same-day in-office testing.

Functional medicine looks for the root causes of symptoms rather than treating symptoms in isolation. Providers spend more time with each patient, listening, performing a thorough assessment and physical evaluation, and often running in-office testing to help identify the underlying cause.

Conditions treated include digestion and gut health, adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalances in women, men, and teens, thyroid health, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, cognitive function and brain health, fatigue and low energy, and children's wellness, including ADHD, behavioral health, dyslexia, and children on the spectrum (see the Pediatric Functional Medicine section below for the dedicated pediatric program).

What makes the first appointment distinct: same-day, in-office testing for gut dysbiosis and adrenal function delivers focused answers in about 10 minutes, rather than weeks of waiting on mail-in test kits. This can save patients $500 or more in testing costs and puts them roughly four weeks ahead in addressing their symptoms. A functional urine dip assessment can also identify mineral and nutrient deficiencies and evaluate the state of the stomach and liver. Patients leave day one with a focused, individualized plan.

### Pediatric Functional Medicine

- [Pediatric Functional Medicine](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/pediatric-functional-medicine-indianapolis/): Root-cause pediatric care for gut health, brain and behavior, and immune resilience, from a baby's first days through the teen years.

Pediatric functional medicine looks for the root cause of a child's symptoms instead of only treating them as they appear. Chad Sperry, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, and Natalie Sperry, FNP, combine modern medicine with evidence-informed functional care. Together with parents, they support nutrition, gut health, immune resilience, healthy development, and informed healthcare decisions. The practice partners with families from a baby's first days through the teen years, taking time to listen, identify the root cause, and build a care plan made for each child.

Three signature areas of care:

- The Healthy Gut: A healthy gut is the foundation for a healthy child. The practice helps uncover the root causes of digestive concerns while supporting growth, immune function, energy, and well-being, with the goal of helping children feel better for the long term. Symptoms seen include constipation, reflux, food sensitivities, belly pain, diarrhea, gas and bloating, eczema, psoriasis, hives and rashes, picky eating, poor appetite, leaky gut, candida, parasites, teen PCOS, and irregular periods.
- Brain and Behavior: Helping children thrive at home, at school, and in life. The team looks for the factors behind behavior, attention, mood, sleep, and learning, then builds a personalized plan for healthy development. Symptoms seen include ADHD, anxiety, focus struggles, autism support, behavior concerns, poor sleep, big emotions, mood swings, irritability, brain fog, low energy, and chronic fatigue.
- Immune Resilience: Kids get sick as their immune systems grow, but when illness is frequent, recovery is slow, or the same problems keep coming back, it is time to look closer. The practice supports healthy immune function through nutrition, sleep, gut health, and lifestyle. Symptoms seen include frequent colds, recurrent ear infections, sinus infections, frequent strep, lingering coughs, seasonal allergies, eczema, acne, slow recovery, and low energy after illness.

Everyday pediatric care: The practice also provides sports physicals, annual wellness visits, well-child exams, and sick visits.

How care works, in four steps: 1) Listen: taking the time to understand the child's full story. 2) Discover: when appropriate, using evidence-informed testing to find contributing factors. 3) Personalize: an individualized care plan built around the child's unique needs. 4) Thrive: partnering with the family to support long-term health, growth, and well-being.

Testing: It depends on each child's symptoms and history. After a thorough evaluation, providers may recommend comprehensive blood work, comprehensive stool testing, nutritional assessments, vitamin and mineral testing, thyroid testing, iron studies, food allergy evaluation, hormone testing when appropriate, or specialty functional laboratory testing. Testing is always chosen for the individual child, never one-size-fits-all.

Informed vaccine conversations: The practice believes parents deserve time, education, and respectful conversations to make informed healthcare decisions for their children, with evidence-based guidance and support without judgment. Providers respect each family's vaccine decisions, discuss the standard schedule and alternatives openly, and explain what Indiana law requires for school. Whether a family follows the standard schedule, is considering a delayed schedule, simply has questions, or chooses not to vaccinate, they receive an honest conversation, not a lecture.

Whole-family care: Many parents start by bringing in one child, then move the whole family to the practice. From functional medicine and hormone health to aesthetics and family care, everyone can be cared for in one place.

### Nutritional IV Therapy

- [Nutritional IV Therapy](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/nutritional-iv-therapy-indianapolis/): Preservative-free IV infusions of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients delivered directly into the bloodstream.

Nutritional IV therapy, also known as IV vitamin therapy or IV drip therapy, infuses nutrients directly into the veins. This bypasses the digestive system so nearly all of the nutrients are available to the body, delivering faster and more efficient results than oral supplements. Unlike many providers, the practice's IV medications are completely preservative-free. Benefits include enhanced hydration, improved nutrient absorption, increased energy, and immune system support.

Current IV infusion menu (see the live page for up-to-date pricing):

- Ozone / UBI: energized oxygen and ultraviolet rays for inflammation, infections, and chronic fatigue. 30 minutes.
- Super Immune Booster: B-vitamins, ascorbic acid, and minerals to replenish nutritional deficiencies and support post-surgery recovery. 60 minutes.
- Cocktail the Quick Booster: B-vitamins, magnesium, and calcium for cellular hydration, immune and histamine regulation, and adrenal support. 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heavy Metals Detox: EDTA, B-vitamins, and ascorbic acid for heavy metals, brain fog, fatigue, GI issues, and joint pain. 60 minutes.
- High Dose Vitamin C: ascorbic acid and magnesium chloride for detox, infections, fatigue, and improved energy. 1 to 3 hours.

Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the infusion. Treatment prices currently range from about $78 to $250. Nutrients commonly used include vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, calcium, zinc, glutathione, and amino acids. Individuals with kidney disease, heart conditions, or specific allergies should consult their doctor before treatment.

### Aesthetics

- [Aesthetics Treatments](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/aesthetics-indianapolis/): Natural, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation led by Natalie Sperry, FNP.

The aesthetics program takes a natural and holistic approach, prioritizing regenerative treatments that work with the body. It addresses fine lines, wrinkles, minor scarring, sagging skin, rough texture, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, sun damage, and acne scars. Because skin health is influenced by hormones, gut health, inflammation, and conditions like menopause, postpartum changes, and thyroid disorders, the team also looks at root causes behind chronic skin concerns.

Treatments offered:

- Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma): Performed with the Dermapen, a professional microneedling market leader since 2011, using a 16-needle cartridge and Advanced Oscillating Vertical Needle technology. Improves skin texture and tone, minimizes acne scarring, stimulates collagen production, and reduces sun damage. Scalp microneedling for thinning hair is also available. Every microneedling treatment includes a complimentary post-procedure mask with zinc and pro-vitamin B5, a $45 value.
- Daxxify neurotoxin treatment: An FDA-approved treatment that smooths moderate to severe frown lines by relaxing the tiny muscles that cause wrinkles. Daxxify uses peptide technology rather than human serum albumin and lasts 4 to 6 weeks longer than competing neurotoxins, with as few as two treatments per year. It is also used in the treatment of TMJ symptoms. Priced at $6.50 per unit.
- Exosome therapy: Stem cell-derived vesicles carrying growth factors, proteins, and peptides that stimulate collagen production, improve healing, and boost skin elasticity, working at a deeper regenerative level than conventional serums.

The process starts with a 30-minute initial aesthetics consultation ($50, applied to the first treatment or product). Downtime is minimal, and results can appear within days with continued improvement as collagen production increases. Full microneedling, PRP, exosome, and package pricing is listed on the aesthetics page.

### Hormone Replacement Therapy

- [Hormone Replacement Therapy](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/hormone-replacement-therapy/): Complete hormone care for men and women, including EvexiPEL pellet therapy.

Hormone imbalance can cause hot flashes, night sweats, sexual dysfunction, anxiety, weight gain, muscle loss, mood swings, low libido, and fatigue. The practice offers hormone replacement therapy for both women and men.

- Female HRT: Addresses symptoms of menopause and premature menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis risk, by determining whether hormone loss is the cause and restoring balance.
- Male HRT: Testosterone naturally declines starting around age 30, leading to fatigue, low libido, muscle loss, and chronic stress. Treatment can increase energy, reduce fatigue, enhance sexual function, and help reduce body fat.
- Pellet therapy: The practice is certified in pellet insertion and hormone management through Evexias Health Solutions (EvexiPEL). EvexiPEL uses bio-identical hormones sourced from natural substances that mimic the body's own cellular structure, which supports fewer side effects than synthetic hormones. The pellet process includes a comprehensive lab profile, a customized treatment plan, a quick in-office insertion with no sutures required, 5-week post labs and review, and ongoing maintenance with new pellet insertion every 3 to 4 months for women and 5 to 6 months for men.

### Weight Loss Management

- [Weight Loss Management](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/weight-loss-management/): Medically supervised weight loss customized to each patient's needs and lifestyle.

The program uses a modernized, root-cause approach to weight loss. Tools tailored to each plan include laboratory values to search for root causes, micronutrient testing, pharmaceutical-grade nutraceuticals, IV therapy, vitamin injections, a customized nutrition plan, biometric measurements to track progress, and compounded peptides with precise dosing of peptides and GLP-1 medications. Slower titration can be tailored individually for fewer side effects.

Reported benefits include increased energy, increased sex drive, mood stabilization, improved sleep, enhanced cognition and focus, improved blood sugar control, decreased cardiac risk through improved cholesterol, improved breathing, and increased mobility.

Program details: initial visit $200, then $150 per month after the first month. A 3-month commitment is required. Prior authorization is not necessary for medications prescribed at the practice, and prescriptions are given at the end of the appointment when appropriate for the treatment plan.

### Complete Family Care

- [Complete Family Care](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/family-care/): Everything expected from a family doctor, with a holistic approach to family wellness.

Services include physicals (annual, sports, and preventive exams), hormone care (women's health and testosterone), focused appointments (gut health, thyroid, toxins, depression, weight concerns, neurotransmitters, cardiovascular health, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, smoking cessation, and diet and nutrition), and acute care (colds, sinus congestion, allergies, fever, hypertension, tick bites, rehydration fluids, and minor skin biopsy).

Wellness memberships include all primary and acute care services, 2 office visits per month, access to pharmaceutical-grade supplements with a 5% discount, unlimited portal texting and messaging, spouse or child add-on options, same-day or next-day sick visits when available, no co-pays or surprise bills, nutritional counseling, and telemedicine.

### On-Site Testing

- [On-Site Testing](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/#testing): Same-day, in-office testing plus specialized partner lab testing.

Two crucial areas that can be the nexus of root-cause symptoms are the gut and the adrenals. Instead of take-home kits, mail-in samples, and three-week waits, the practice performs a 10-minute in-office test that gives focused answers on gut dysbiosis and adrenal state, saving patients $500 or more and putting them about four weeks ahead. A functional urine dip assessment identifies mineral and nutrient deficiencies and evaluates the stomach and liver.

Additional testing through lab partners covers more than 20 categories: adrenals, amino acids, blood chemistry (CMP and CBC), cholesterol and coagulation, diabetic panels, toxic metals, neurotransmitters, genetics, iodine, hormones (salivary, urine, and blood), IgG/IgE allergy and sensitivity, liver function, women's yearly panels, stained smear blood, metabolism of pharmaceuticals, GI and stool, nasal cultures, respiratory panels, nutrient status, oxidative stress, SIBO and IBS, and thyroid.

### Sound Healing

- [Sound Healing](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/sound-healing/): Sound frequency and vibration sessions supporting relaxation, balance, and well-being.

Sound healing uses sound frequencies and vibrations to bring the mind, body, and emotional state into harmony and balance. Sessions help shift brainwaves from an alert beta state into relaxed alpha, meditative theta, and restorative delta states. Instruments include crystal singing bowls and specialized tuning forks.

The practice's approach draws on Biofield Tuning, a gentle, non-invasive sound therapy in which a practitioner uses tuning forks to help calm the nervous system and clear energetic blockages, along with the study of cymatics, which makes the physical effects of sound frequencies visible in matter.

Contraindications: sound healing is not recommended for pregnant persons, people who recently suffered a heart attack, people with severe angina or a pacemaker, those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment, people with schizophrenia or other severe mental illnesses, very high blood pressure, people struggling with substance abuse, or children under age 5.

### RGCC Cancer Sensitivity Testing

- [RGCC Cancer Sensitivity Testing](https://holisticwellnessindiana.com/rgcc-cancer-sensitivity-testing/): Blood-based cancer sensitivity testing interpreted by an RGCC-certified practitioner.

RGCC Cancer Sensitivity Testing is a blood-based liquid biopsy that analyzes circulating tumor cells to evaluate how a patient's specific cancer cells respond to more than 90 chemotherapy agents and more than 50 natural substances. The goal is to help patients and their cancer care teams identify which treatments are most likely to work for their individual biology. Repeat testing can track treatment response or early resistance before changes are visible on scans. Per RGCC, the test offers 93% sensitivity in detecting cancer in its earliest stages, which supports early-detection use for those with a family history of cancer.

Chad Sperry is an RGCC-certified practitioner trained to interpret RGCC data and translate results into an actionable, personalized plan that patients can discuss with their oncology team. The process: an RGCC consultation, a standard blood draw at the Indianapolis clinic or a partner lab, advanced analysis at RGCC's accredited labs (IAS, ISO, CLIA, and CAP standards), a detailed personalized report, collaborative treatment strategy design, and ongoing monitoring.

Important context: the RGCC test is not FDA-approved. It is a laboratory-developed test (LDT) performed in a single laboratory and is not subject to FDA regulation. RGCC testing is intended to inform, not replace, care from a patient's oncology team.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- Does Holistic Family Wellness accept insurance? No. The practice is cash-based and does not accept insurance for office visits, but lab work drawn in the office may be submitted to insurance for possible reimbursement. Medicare is not accepted.
- What is the difference between functional medicine and traditional medicine? Functional medicine is health-oriented and patient-centered, looks for the underlying root cause of symptoms, takes a preventative approach, and treats each person's biochemical individuality. Traditional medicine is disease-oriented, diagnoses based on symptoms, and works well for early disease detection.
- How long does functional medicine take to work? It depends on the symptom or condition and how long it has been present. Some patients feel results within days to weeks; deeper root-cause work can take weeks to months or longer.
- Can functional medicine help with weight loss? Yes. There are many root causes of excess weight, and the practice investigates these areas as part of a weight loss plan.
- Is there a downside to functional medicine? There are no quick fixes when healing the body's systems. Addressing root causes can take weeks to months, unlike the temporary symptom relief of a quick-fix approach.
- Is IV therapy safe? When administered by a trained medical professional, IV drip therapy is generally safe. Individuals with kidney disease, heart conditions, or specific allergies should consult their doctor before treatment.
- Do I need a prescription for IV therapy? In most cases, no prescription is required, though a health assessment may be conducted before treatment.
- Does Holistic Family Wellness see children, and what ages? Yes. The practice cares for children from infancy through their teen years, and cares for parents and adults too, so the whole family can be seen at one practice. Along with functional medicine care, everyday pediatric services include sick visits, sports physicals, annual wellness visits, and well-child exams.
- How is pediatric functional medicine different from a regular pediatrician visit? A typical visit focuses on treating the symptom in front of you. Functional medicine asks why the symptom is happening in the first place. Providers spend more time listening, use evidence-informed testing when appropriate, and build a personalized plan that supports lasting health, combined with modern medicine.
- Does the practice support delayed or alternative vaccine schedules, or choosing not to vaccinate? The practice believes parents deserve time, education, and respectful conversations to make informed decisions for their children. Providers walk families through the evidence on the standard schedule and openly, without judgment, discuss questions about timing. Every family's plan is decided together, between the family and their provider.
- What does Indiana law say about school vaccine requirements? Indiana requires certain immunizations for school attendance, and the law allows two types of exemptions: a religious objection and a medical exemption. A religious objection must be in writing, signed by the parent, and given to the school. A medical exemption must come from a licensed provider. The practice can explain how these rules apply to a child during a visit.
