Functional Medicine COMING SOON
Root Cause Healing, Personalized to You
Functional Medicine at The Renewal Method is an integrative, patient-centered approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness. Instead of chasing symptoms, we look at the whole picture—your history, habits, environment, and biology—to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Our Functional Medicine services are offered on a direct-pay basis; we do not accept insurance. This model allows us to spend more time with you, avoid the limitations of insurance-based care, and deliver truly personalized support. Whether you’re navigating chronic symptoms, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, digestive issues, or simply feeling “off,” our goal is to help you reclaim your health with a plan that’s as unique as you are. Through advanced diagnostics and thoughtful, ongoing care, we don’t just treat—we transform.
OUR METHOD
Our Functional Medicine process is intentionally thorough, giving us the information we need to design a highly personalized plan for healing and long-term wellness. We take the time to listen, investigate, and collaborate with you to uncover root causes and support your body’s natural ability to restore balance. Every Functional Medicine journey includes three comprehensive steps. Together, these three steps allow us to design a treatment strategy that addresses the underlying imbalances contributing to your symptoms. We’ll partner with you on a path toward sustainable, long-term health, rooted in science, guided by experience, and delivered with care. Please note: Functional Medicine services at The Renewal Method are private pay only; we do not bill insurance.
In-Depth Intake & Health History
We begin with an extensive intake process where we review your complete medical history, including your personal and family background, lifestyle habits, emotional well-being, and current symptoms. We’ll ask about your nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and more because every piece of your story matters.
Physical Exam
We’ll take key measurements like blood pressure, heart rate, and BMI during your visit. Based on your symptoms and goals, we may also perform a more detailed physical exam to assess specific areas of concern, such as inflammation, gut health, or hormone function.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing
To complete your health profile, we offer specialized lab testing as needed. This might include comprehensive blood work, hormone and thyroid panels, GI mapping, food sensitivity testing, micronutrient analysis, and more. These results allow us to create a personalized plan built around real data, not guesswork.
