Fundamental Healing

Do you take medical insurance?

Yes, we work to integrate insurance billing options when appropriate. During your consultation, we'll review your specific coverage and explore all available options to make care accessible.

How is functional medicine different from regular medicine?

Instead of managing symptoms with medications, we investigate the root causes using advanced testing that reveals nutritional deficiencies, toxicities, and imbalances that standard labs miss. We then create personalized healing plans that address these underlying issues.

Do you work with children?

Yes! We provide holistic family medicine for newborns through the older adult. We are schooled by the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs and are able to care for those with developmental challenges, spectrum disorders, and almost any pediatric chronic condition including autoimmune.

Do you offer telemedicine consultations?

Yes! We offer secure telemedicine consultations for families local, across the United States, and internationally. Through virtual appointments, we provide the same thorough, personalized care—including comprehensive health reviews, coordination of functional testing with labs nationwide, and detailed follow-up consultations. Distance doesn't limit our ability to be your dedicated healing partners. However, nothing compares to a thorough in-person functional Medicine work-up if you can make the trip since a head to toe physical, neurological and muscle testing are performed best in person.

What do you mean by “addressing root cause rather than symptoms?”

Gretchen has earned a reputation for providing guidance that extends beyond supplements to include lifestyle optimization, advocacy strategies, and family-wide health transformation, resulting in children entering mainstream classrooms, adults reclaiming their vitality, and families breaking free from generational health limitations.

How long does it take to see results?

Every healing journey is unique. Some patients notice improvements within weeks, while others with complex conditions may need several months. Once support is in place, it can take 90-120 days for new cells to form that can help the body behave in a different fashion. We provide realistic timelines based on your specific situation and support you throughout the entire process.

Can you help if other providers haven't found anything wrong?

We have a decade of success in helping patients overcome symptoms related to conditions that traditional medicine otherwise missed or did not give attention to, because the lab ranges they use are not as narrow at the 'healthy' reference ranges we are trained to use.

How does faith play a role in your practice?

We believe the body is a temple to house the soul and we encourage and guide patients to make decisions that would treat it as such. We empower patients with the knowledge it takes to make informed decisions on how to fuel their body and protect it from environmental assaults that compromise their quality of life.
