Functional Medicine
Tired of being told your labs are 'normal' when you feel anything but? Functional medicine looks at the whole system — and finds the root cause your last 5 doctors missed.
Serving Lowell, Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale & Bella Vista — Northwest Arkansas
Functional medicine treats the body as an interconnected system. Your fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, joint pain, anxiety, and gut symptoms aren't separate problems — they are usually downstream signals from a few upstream root causes: hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, nutrient depletion, or metabolic dysfunction.
Comprehensive sex hormone panel, full thyroid, adrenal/cortisol, fasting insulin and A1c, advanced lipids, inflammatory markers, vitamin and mineral status, gut and food sensitivity testing, genetic profiling when appropriate. We read the story your body is telling — not just the few markers a 10-minute appointment allows for.
Hormone imbalance, perimenopause and menopause, low testosterone, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue, stubborn weight gain, insulin resistance, autoimmunity, gut issues and food sensitivities, sleep dysfunction, anxiety and mood changes, infertility, and the catch-all "I just don't feel right anymore."
We are a small, intentionally personal practice. Long appointments, direct access to Dr. Tammy, real continuity of care. This is the kind of medicine that is impossible inside the 7-minute insurance visit — which is exactly why we don't operate that way.
FAQ
Functional medicine is a systems-based approach that asks why a symptom is happening, not just how to suppress it. We look at hormones, gut, inflammation, metabolism, nutrients, sleep, stress, and genetics together — then build a plan that treats the root cause.
Conventional medicine is excellent for acute care and disease management. Functional medicine is best for chronic, complex, or 'everything is normal but I feel terrible' problems — fatigue, hormone imbalance, gut issues, autoimmunity, weight gain, brain fog.
We are a concierge functional medicine practice and do not bill insurance. This lets us spend the time, run the labs, and design the personalized plan that insurance-based care simply cannot accommodate.
No. We see patients from Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale, Bella Vista, and across Northwest Arkansas.
