Virtual Functional Medicine

Finding Solutions to your health concerns while in the comfort of your own home.

Are you feeling unwell and don’t know why?

Have you been to Conventional Medical Doctors for a list of symptoms, only to be told your labs are “Normal” and nothing is wrong with you? Or maybe you have been prescribed a “Pill for every ill” yet still don’t feel well? If so, you have come to the right place to finally begin the path of true healing.

“Functional Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual”. -The Institute for Functional Medicine

Here we use the latest technology in laboratory testing to find the root cause of WHY you are not feeling well. Our goal is not to label you with a Disease, but instead understand the mechanism of what is going on in YOU as an INDIVIDUAL and creating a PERSONALIZED treatment plan to create Health.

Treatment will not involve a medication because you do not have a drug deficiency. Instead treatment will revolve around fixing the underlying cause which is often related to diet and lifestyle factors.

The Initial Functional Medicine Process:

STEP 1: Click HERE to schedule your Virtual New Patient Consultation and complete your online functional medicine health history. (Please complete at least 24hr prior to your appointment). *This health history will take approximately 40-60min to complete and helps us see antecedents, triggers, and mediators to better understand the root cause of your health concerns.

STEP 2: Meet with Dr. Robyn via Zoom for your Consultation. Here Dr. Robyn will review your Functional Medicine Analysis and gather any other pertinent information to determine proper testing for you. After your initial consultation Dr. Robyn will send you an order to obtain a blood draw at your nearest LabCorp location for a comprehensive functional medicine blood panel. If indicated, Dr. Robyn may also recommend/order additional testing that may include stool, saliva, urine, or hair testing. For any of these labs test kits will be shipped directly to your home for collection and returned to the lab for processing. To see the full list of specialty labs used, go to our LAB TESTING page.

STEP 3: Virtual 80min Zoom Report of Findings. In this appointment we will go through your Functional Medicine Lab Report (See example reports below depicting standard ranges vs. optimal ranges), and any other specialty testing results to give an in-depth explanation of what is happening in your body and why you are not well. Together we will create an INDIVIDUALIZED treatment plan based on your lab findings.

Step 5: Follow up appointments are through zoom calls either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on your treatment plan needs. During these calls we will monitor progress, educate, and support you in your journey to health. Follow up labs are ran every 3-6 months until the body is back into balance and reaches a state of health and wellness.
