Martha
I was so exhausted when I left the hospital after having COVID…beyond tired. I was told my energy may never come back. Not wanting to accept that, I asked Dr. Meagan for help. Now I’m able to grocery shop, carry the bags up the stairs and still have energy to go out to lunch with friends. I’m very thankful for her help.

Dr. Meagan watched me grow up. When the doctors were telling my mom I was just overweight and lazy she knew something wasn’t right. She helped my mom advocate for me, and we learned I have Hashimoto’s. She helped me learn what foods to eat and what supplements to take to feel better. I truly believe Dr. Meagan has completely changed the trajectory of my life.

I came to Advanced Functional Medicine because I was tired of feeling sick and tired. I'm so grateful I made the decision to come here—today, I have more energy than I've had in the past five years!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.
How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?
Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease.
What Conditions Can Functional Medicine Address?
Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
Are the Reclaim My Life calls virtual or can I come and meet you in person?
We offer both in-person and telehealth visits.
Can you help me?
That is a great question! Since we are all unique, the best thing to do is schedule a Reclaim MY Life call and tell us a little bit about yourself and what you have been experiencing. It will give you the opportunity to meet us, and we can give you an idea of what to expect and let you know if we feel like it would be a good fit. What have you got to lose?
What Can I Expect During a Functional Medicine Consultation?
During a functional medicine consultation, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns.
What Treatment Modalities Does Functional Medicine Use?
Functional medicine incorporates a variety of treatment modalities, including nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols, and mind-body therapies. The approach is highly individualized based on each patient's unique needs.
How Long Does it Take to See Results with Functional Medicine?
The timeline for seeing results with functional medicine varies depending on the complexity of your health issues, your adherence to the wellness plan, and other factors. While some patients experience improvements in symptoms relatively quickly, achieving long-term wellness often requires ongoing commitment and patience.
Do you accept my insurance?
Advanced Rehab and Medical does accept insurance, HOWEVER, the services that we use within the functional medicine department are deemed non-covered services. In order to effectively identify underlying root cause issues and obtain results we use advanced lab testing that is not typically used within conventional medical practices and is not covered by insurance. You can often utilize FSA/HSA funds. Additionally, we can generate a detailed invoice that you can submit to your insurance company on your own, in an extra effort to petition coverage.
