What makes functional medicine different?

We take more time to look at how nutrition, sleep, stress, digestion and medical conditions connect, then build a plan around your clinical needs.

Is it a replacement for my regular doctor?

No. Our care is designed to work alongside your regular medical care.

Sometimes. Your clinician recommends testing only when it is appropriate and explains why.

Do I need a diagnosis to start?

No. You can request a consultation to talk about your symptoms or goals. We will help you decide whether our services fit your needs.

Can I have a virtual visit?

Virtual visits may be available for eligible consultations and follow-up care. Contact us to find out whether a virtual appointment fits your needs.

What about cost and payment options?

Please contact our team about pricing. Financing options are available, including Cherry and CareCredit. Approval and terms depend on the financing provider.

Overview

What is functional medicine?

Symptoms rarely have just one cause. Functional medicine takes time to look at how different parts of your health connect, including daily habits, digestion, sleep, stress and any medical conditions you have.

At AgeWell, this approach is led by a physician and grounded in your clinical needs. We use your history and appropriate testing to understand what may be contributing, then build an individualized care plan with you.
