Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Medicine

Get answers to common questions about functional medicine, thyroid treatment, and gut health restoration

What is functional medicine and how is it different from traditional medicine?
+

Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. While traditional medicine often uses a one-size-fits-all approach, functional medicine creates personalized treatment plans based on your unique biochemistry, genetics, and lifestyle factors.

Key differences:

  • Root cause analysis vs. symptom management
  • Personalized protocols vs. standardized treatments
  • Advanced testing vs. basic blood panels
  • Patient partnership vs. passive treatment
  • Prevention-focused vs. disease-focused

Do you accept insurance for functional medicine services?
+

Functional medicine consultations and protocols are typically not covered by insurance as they go beyond standard medical care. However, we make our services accessible through:

  • HSA/FSA payments accepted – Use your health savings account
  • CareCredit financing – 0% interest payment plans available
  • Custom payment plans – Monthly payment arrangements
  • 10% pay-in-full discount – Save money when you pay upfront

Some laboratory tests may be covered by insurance depending on your plan.

How long does it take to see results with functional medicine?
+

Results vary depending on your condition and how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms:

  • Energy and digestion improvements: Often within 4-6 weeks
  • Thyroid optimization: Typically takes 3-6 months for full benefits
  • Gut healing: 3-4 months for significant improvement
  • Complex conditions: 6-12 months for comprehensive healing

We provide regular monitoring and progress assessments to track your improvement and adjust protocols as needed. Every patient is unique, and we tailor expectations based on your specific health challenges.

Can I do functional medicine consultations remotely?
+

Yes! We offer telehealth consultations for patients throughout Idaho. Here’s how it works:

  • Virtual consultations: Comprehensive health assessments via secure video calls
  • Laboratory coordination: We work with providers in your area for testing
  • Remote monitoring: Ongoing support and protocol adjustments
  • Digital protocol delivery: All recommendations and supplements shipped to you

In-person benefits in Blackfoot: Physical examinations, hands-on assessments, and integration with our chiropractic and massage therapy services.

What laboratory tests do you typically recommend?
+

Testing is personalized based on your symptoms and health goals. We only recommend tests that will directly impact your treatment plan:

Thyroid Testing:

  • Complete thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3)
  • Thyroid antibodies (TPO, TgAb, TSI)
  • Nutritional cofactors (iodine, selenium, zinc)

Gut Health Testing:

  • Comprehensive stool analysis and microbiome testing
  • SIBO breath testing
  • Food sensitivity panels
  • Intestinal permeability assessment

Additional Testing (as needed):

  • Comprehensive metabolic panels

What makes your thyroid treatment different from my regular doctor?
+

Our thyroid approach goes far beyond basic TSH testing that most doctors rely on:

Comprehensive Testing:

  • 9-marker thyroid panel vs. basic TSH
  • Functional ranges vs. standard lab ranges
  • Thyroid antibody testing for autoimmune conditions
  • Nutritional cofactor assessment

Root Cause Analysis:

  • Identify why your thyroid isn’t working properly
  • Address gut health connection to thyroid function
  • Evaluate stress, toxins, and nutritional deficiencies
  • Look at the whole person, not just the thyroid

Personalized Protocols:

  • Targeted supplements vs. generic prescriptions
