Functional Medicine in Vero Beach
Functional medicine in Vero Beach looks for the reasons behind fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep or digestive problems, using a detailed history and in-depth lab testing.
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for the underlying causes of symptoms by looking at the whole person: history, lifestyle, nutrition and lab results. Functional medicine in Vero Beach is led by a provider board-certified in Functional Medicine, and works alongside your primary care.
We look at how your systems work together rather than treating each symptom on its own. We use conventional medicine where it's the right tool, and the goal is a plan you can follow and measure.
Who functional medicine is for
It suits people with ongoing symptoms like fatigue, weight that won't move, hormone or menopause symptoms, digestive issues or poor sleep. Your provider will tell you honestly whether this approach is a good fit or whether you need a specialist.
How functional medicine works
We spend more time on your story: symptoms, history, diet, sleep, stress and family history. Then we order the tests that will change your plan and build a plan around nutrition, lifestyle and medical treatment where needed.

Functional medicine questions
What does a functional medicine consult cost?
Call us and we'll go over consult pricing before you book, and labs are quoted before they're ordered.
Does insurance cover functional medicine?
Ask us before your first visit and we'll go over what's self-pay and what may be billed to insurance.
How is functional medicine different from regular primary care?
Visits are longer and focus on patterns and root causes, with more detailed testing. It works alongside primary care rather than replacing it: DPC Plus ($199/mo) includes hormone optimization, weight management and nutrition coaching, and Elite Concierge ($599/mo) adds longer visits and direct access.
What tests might I have?
Depending on your history, testing may include comprehensive blood work, thyroid panel, hormone levels, blood sugar and insulin, inflammation markers, and vitamin and micronutrient levels. We only order tests that will change your plan, and we tell you the cost before ordering.
How should I prepare for my first visit?
Bring recent labs, a list of medications and supplements, and a short list of your main concerns. Fasting may be needed for some blood tests, and we'll tell you beforehand. You'll leave with a written plan and a follow-up date.
Do you see patients from Port St. Lucie and Sebastian?
Yes, patients come from across the Treasure Coast.
