Services & Symptoms

Let’s be honest—if you’ve landed here, it’s probably because you’re tired of surface-level answers. You’ve Googled your symptoms, maybe bounced between providers, and you’re still not getting the resolution you deserve. That’s where we come in.
At our functional medicine clinics in Madison WI and Middleton WI, we don’t just manage symptoms—we connect the dots. Whether you're navigating chronic illness, trying to balance your hormones, or just feeling off and can't figure out why, we’re here to help you get to the bottom of it.
So, What Do We Actually Treat?
Short answer? A lot.
Functional medicine doesn’t focus on isolated diagnoses. Instead, we look at how your symptoms relate to each other and what’s disrupting your body’s natural ability to heal. Below is a snapshot of the types of conditions and concerns we work with every day.
- Allergies & Sensitivities: Find Out What’s Really Triggering You
Chronic congestion? Skin rashes? Mysterious bloating? It might not just be “seasonal.” Food sensitivities, environmental allergies, and hidden intolerances can fly under the radar for years. We use targeted testing and elimination strategies to uncover what your body is reacting to—then help you lower the inflammation and reclaim your comfort. - Functional Medicine For Anxiety & Depression: Because Mental Health Is Physical Too
If your mood’s been on a rollercoaster and you’re tired of being told it’s all in your head, it’s time for a new lens. We explore the biology of anxiety and depression—things like gut-brain imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, hormone shifts, and chronic stress that can alter brain chemistry. - Autoimmune Therapy: Treat The Fire, Not Just The Smoke
Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis don’t start overnight. Instead of quieting the immune system with meds alone, we investigate why it’s attacking healthy tissue in the first place—and help calm it from the inside out. - Chronic Fatigue: Exhaustion Isn't Normal
When every day feels like you’re dragging a weight behind you, and your labs come back “normal,” functional medicine picks up where traditional care stops. We explore adrenal function, mitochondrial health, thyroid balance, nutrient absorption, and more. - Chronic Illness Relief: Get Your Life Back
If you've been labeled with multiple conditions—or worse, told nothing’s wrong—you're not alone. Many chronic symptoms are signs of deeper imbalances that just haven’t been connected yet. We specialize in helping people who've been stuck in the cycle of chasing symptoms. - Digestive Health: Stop Guessing What’s Going On In Your Gut
Whether it’s IBS, reflux, constipation, or bloating after every meal, your gut is the front line of your immune system—and the foundation of your health. We dig into microbiome balance, food sensitivities, and inflammation to help you heal from the inside out. - Hormone Therapy: Not Just For Women, Not Just About Estrogen
From PMS to menopause, low testosterone to adrenal burnout, hormone imbalance can tank your energy, mood, weight, and sleep. We use lab testing, lifestyle changes, and—when needed—bioidentical hormone therapy to restore harmony and vitality. - Managing Mood Disorders: Your Brain Isn’t Broken
Mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and even bipolar disorder have roots in inflammation, blood sugar instability, gut health, and more. Functional medicine looks beyond prescriptions to uncover the metabolic and environmental drivers behind mental health struggles. - Preventative Healthcare: Stay Ahead Of The Curve
Don’t wait for a diagnosis. Functional medicine shines brightest in prevention. With advanced labs, genetic insights, and personalized protocols, we help you reduce risk, slow aging, and stay energized—before symptoms ever begin. - Skin Disorder Relief: Healing Beyond The Creams
Acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea aren’t just skin-deep. We identify what’s triggering your skin—from food reactions and gut issues to immune stress and toxins—so you can heal naturally, from the inside out. - Thyroid Support: Optimize, Don’t Just Normalize
If you’ve been told your thyroid labs are “fine,” but you still feel off, you’re not imagining it. We run a full thyroid panel—not just TSH—and investigate factors like Hashimoto’s antibodies, nutrient deficiencies, and cortisol’s impact on thyroid hormone conversion. - Weight Loss That’s Actually Sustainable
Forget fad diets and short-term fixes. We help you understand the real reasons your body’s holding onto weight—like insulin resistance, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and toxic burden—and help you reset your metabolism the functional way. - Heavy Metal Detox: Clearing The Toxins That Weigh You Down
Mercury, lead, arsenic… they’re more common than you think. From dental fillings to fish, these toxins build up and mess with your brain, hormones, and energy. We test safely, treat smartly, and support your body through a guided detox process. - Functional Nutrition: Food That Works For You
We don’t do cookie-cutter meal plans or generic diet advice. Functional nutrition is about eating in a way that supports your unique physiology. We guide you in choosing foods that heal your gut, balance your hormones, and fuel your energy—for the long haul.
Let’s Figure Out What’s Actually Going On
