Our Services

Hormone & Thyroid Health

Hormone and thyroid imbalances can affect nearly every aspect of how you feel — from your energy levels and metabolism to your mood, sleep, and cognitive clarity. At Foundation Functional, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluating the thyroid, adrenals, and reproductive hormones to understand why your system is out of balance. Through advanced lab testing, symptom analysis, and a deep review of your health history, we uncover the root causes behind issues such as fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, anxiety, and cycle irregularities.

Once we understand your body’s unique patterns, we develop a personalized plan that may include nutrition adjustments, targeted supplements, stress support, and lifestyle strategies to help restore hormonal harmony. Our goal is long-term stability — not quick fixes — so you can regain consistent energy, clearer thinking, and a stronger sense of well-being. Whether you’re dealing with thyroid challenges, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, or hormonal fluctuations, we guide you with compassion and evidence-based care.

Gut & Digestive Health

Your gut plays a central role in digestion, immunity, hormone balance, and even mood — which is why symptoms like bloating, constipation, heartburn, or food sensitivities often point to deeper systemic issues. At Foundation Functional, we don’t just treat symptoms; we explore what’s driving them. Through functional testing, we assess inflammation, microbiome balance, digestive function, and food triggers to identify the root cause of discomfort.

We then create a customized plan to help calm inflammation, repair the gut lining, rebalance your microbiome, and restore proper digestion. Your plan may include dietary changes, targeted supplements, probiotics, and lifestyle adjustments designed to strengthen your digestive system from within. The goal is not just symptom relief, but improved overall health — because when your gut is functioning well, your whole body thrives.

Metabolic & Weight Health

Metabolic challenges such as stubborn weight gain, insulin resistance, blood sugar fluctuations, and low energy often indicate deeper imbalances that require more than a traditional diet plan. We use a functional medicine approach to identify what’s disrupting your metabolism — including hormone pathways, stress responses, inflammation, gut health, and nutrient deficiencies. This allows us to create a personalized strategy that addresses the whole picture, not just calories in and calories out.

Your metabolic health plan may include nutrition guidance, movement recommendations, lifestyle coaching, and when appropriate, physician-guided medical therapies such as GLP-1 or other metabolic support options. Our focus is sustainable improvement, helping you build healthy patterns and restore the systems that influence weight, appetite, and energy. With ongoing support and telehealth follow-ups, you’ll have a clear path toward healthier metabolism and lasting results.

Chronic Fatigue & Inflammation

Chronic fatigue and systemic inflammation can make everyday life feel overwhelming, yet they are often misunderstood or overlooked in conventional care. At Foundation Functional, we take these concerns seriously. We examine the many factors that contribute to low energy — including thyroid and adrenal health, nutrient absorption, mitochondrial function, inflammation levels, sleep quality, and stress response — to understand what’s truly draining you.

From there, we design a personalized plan to restore your vitality step by step. This may involve anti-inflammatory nutrition, targeted supplementation, sleep optimization, stress management techniques, and support for underlying deficiencies or imbalances. Our goal is not just a temporary improvement, but a meaningful, long-term increase in energy and resilience. By reducing inflammation and strengthening your body’s core systems, we help you feel more like yourself again.

Immune & Autoimmune Support

Autoimmune and chronic immune challenges often develop slowly and unpredictably, leaving many patients feeling confused or dismissed by traditional approaches. We take a different path — identifying the root causes of immune dysfunction, such as chronic inflammation, environmental triggers, gut permeability, nutrient deficits, or hormonal imbalance. Through comprehensive functional testing, we gain a clearer picture of how your immune system is behaving and what may be overstimulating or suppressing it.

Your personalized plan focuses on calming inflammation, reducing triggers, supporting gut-immune balance, and strengthening your body’s natural defenses. This may include nutrition strategies, detox support, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplements. Our goal is to help you regain stability, reduce symptom flares, and improve overall quality of life. While autoimmune conditions may not be “cured,” functional medicine can significantly support long-term management and wellness.

Personalized Care Plans

At Foundation Functional, we believe no two patients are alike — which is why we build individualized care plans based on your unique biology, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. We use advanced functional testing along with deep clinical insight to understand what’s happening beneath the surface. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to connect the dots between hormones, gut health, metabolism, immune function, and inflammation to create a clear pathway forward.

Your personalized plan outlines the steps needed to support healing and restore balance. It may include nutrition adjustments, targeted supplements, lifestyle recommendations, sleep support, stress management strategies, and follow-up telehealth visits to track progress. We walk with you throughout your journey, adjusting your plan as your body begins to heal. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you receive guidance that is intentional, evidence-based, and designed for long-term results.
