Less protocol. More presence.

Less protocol. More presence.

From checklist to deep check-in

The conventional annual exam is often reduced to a checklist: pap smear, blood pressure, maybe a few labs. But a truly meaningful exam is more than a routine—it’s a ritual of reconnection. It’s a chance to pause, assess, and ask: How am I really doing in this body, this season, this life?

In Functional Medicine, we reimagine the yearly exam as an opportunity to track shifts across your whole system—not just screen for problems. We explore patterns in your cycle, your energy, your gut, your sleep, your libido, your labs—because they’re all connected.

This isn’t about fear or pathology. It’s about prevention, partnership, and full-spectrum vitality.

The functional medicine path

This is medicine for women who won’t settle for “normal” when their body says otherwise.

We blend modern diagnostics with deeper wisdom — food, sleep, stress, hormones, the elements, and spirit.

Not a quick fix. Not a trendy protocol.

Wild, layered healing that honors complexity, leads you back to yourself and sets a path for prevention and longevity.

It’s medicine that listens and dares to ask why.

Know your story, not just your stats

We start by listening: to your cycle, your symptoms, your lived experience. Wherever you are on your journey, we look at your annual in the context of your life—not just your labwork.

We’ll ask about:


  • Your menstrual rhythm (or lack thereof)

  • Gut health, skin changes, energy, mood

  • Breast and pelvic health

  • Stress patterns and resilience

  • Sexual well-being and libido shifts

Data meets intuition

We run labs where they matter—not just to check boxes, but to get genuine insight into your body. That may include:


  • Hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid)

  • Metabolic markers (A1c, insulin, cholesterol, inflammatory panels)

  • Nutrients (vitamin D, B12, iron, magnesium, omega-3s)

  • Cycle tracking or fertility markers (LH, FSH, AMH)

  • GI testing or microbiome support if needed

But just as important: what your body is telling you—your symptoms, patterns, and sense of well-being.

Personal support, wherever your are

Your annual becomes a custom care map—not just a report card. We help you integrate:


For Hormonal Health:

  • Cycle mapping or support for irregular periods

  • PMS, PMDD, or perimenopause care

  • Natural hormone balance strategies

For Energy & Mood:

  • Thyroid, adrenal, and mitochondrial support

  • Nervous system regulation tools

  • Nutrition for brain and mood health

For Gut, Skin & Immunity:

  • Digestive function + food-based care

  • Inflammation mapping and immune resilience

  • Skin, vaginal, and microbiome connection

For Preventive Wellness & Longevity:

  • Cancer risk screening + nutrient optimization

  • Bone health, metabolic resilience, detox pathways

  • Cardiovascular and cognitive wellness support

Not just a number

You’ll work with a clinician who tracks your story over time—not just this year’s snapshot. We ask better questions, read between the lines, and empower you with tools, education, and care that evolves as you do.

Why this works

Your body is not a machine. It’s a system, a story, a cycle. An annual exam should reflect that. Functional Medicine helps make sense of the changes you feel but can’t always explain—and gives you tools to respond with wisdom, not worry.

  • Early insight into subtle shifts

  • Root-cause clarity on stubborn symptoms

  • Labs that reflect you, not averages

  • Custom guidance for prevention and vitality

  • A trusted partner, not a rushed appointment

This is how we turn checkups into check-ins—and medicine into meaningful introspection.
