Functional Family Medicine
Feeling stuck with quick fixes that don’t get to the root of your health issues? If you’re ready for a deeper dive into what’s really going on, functional medicine might be your answer. Our holistic approach goes beyond the surface, treating you as a whole person and addressing the root causes for true, lasting wellness.
How can we help?
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is like peeling back the layers to find out what’s really happening with your health. It’s not just about treating symptoms but understanding why they’re there in the first place. We look at you as a unique individual, considering your genetics, environment, and lifestyle to create a personalized wellness plan.
We spend time really getting to know you and your health history. We look at how your body systems interact because a symptom in one area might be a sign of an issue elsewhere. We examine everything: your diet, stress levels, sleep patterns, physical activity, emotional health, and social connections.
Our mission? To find the root causes of your health problems, whether they’re due to nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, chronic stress, or other factors. By tackling these underlying issues, we aim to not only ease your symptoms but also prevent future problems from cropping up.
Using advanced diagnostic tests, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support, we help you reach and maintain your best health. This might involve dietary changes, targeted supplements, stress management techniques, and sometimes traditional medical treatments. We empower you to take control of your health, working with you as a partner on your wellness journey.
What are the benefits?
- A holistic, whole-person approach
- Treatments that go beyond symptoms
- Personalized, lifelong health solutions
- No more “just take these pills”

Who is it for?
Functional medicine is for anyone seeking a personalized, holistic approach to their healthcare. It’s especially great for those with chronic conditions, unexplained symptoms, or complex health issues that conventional medicine hasn’t solved. If you want to understand and tackle the root causes of your health problems, focusing on prevention and overall wellness, functional medicine is the way to go.
It’s perfect for people who value a collaborative relationship with their healthcare provider, encouraging active participation in their health journey and lifestyle changes for long-term benefits. If you’re ready for a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just treating symptoms, functional medicine offers the thorough, individualized care you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I learn more or get started?
Simply fill out a form on our website. Our team will give you a call as soon as possible to answer any questions you have.
Isn’t functional medicine expensive?
It might seem costly upfront, but think of it as an investment. Functional medicine addresses the root causes of your health issues, leading to long-term wellness and potentially saving you from the recurring costs of conventional treatments that only manage symptoms. Personalized care tailored to your unique needs can prevent future health problems and associated expenses. It’s about investing in your future well-being.
Do you accept my insurance?
We don’t accept insurance. Insurance companies often don’t cover the in-depth testing we use, and in-network clinics usually have high patient volumes, which limits your time with your physician. At Vitality, we provide thorough, personalized care so you fully understand your health and the steps we’re taking to address it. By not accepting insurance, we can offer you the highest quality care.
What conditions can Functional Medicine treat?
Functional medicine can address a wide range of chronic conditions, including autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, mental health issues, cardiovascular diseases, women’s health and more. Check out the what we treat section of the website for more information.
What can I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation of your health history, lifestyle, and current health concerns. We discuss your goals, order necessary diagnostic tests, and start developing a personalized treatment plan. Expect this visit to be about an hour long as we take the time to understand your unique health needs.
How do I pay for services?
We accept various forms of payment, including credit/debit cards, HSA/FSA accounts, and offer payment plans.
What does treatment look like?
Our treatments are highly personalized and may include dietary changes, nutritional supplements, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, detoxification programs, and, when necessary, traditional medical treatments. All these treatments are based on your story and lab tests.
How long will it take to see results?
The timeline for seeing results varies. Some patients notice improvements within a few weeks, while others with more complex conditions may take several months. Our goal is sustainable, long-term health improvements.
How often will I need to visit the clinic?
The frequency of visits depends on your personalized treatment plan. Initially, you may need more frequent visits to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. Over time, as your health stabilizes, the frequency may decrease.
Is Functional Medicine suitable for children?
Yes, functional medicine can be beneficial for individuals of all ages, including children. We offer tailored approaches to address the unique health needs of children, promoting their overall well-being and development.
