Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a personalized, science-based approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of your symptoms, rather than simply masking them.

At New Life Functional Health, we use advanced testing, natural solutions, and customized plans to help you feel your best.

How is Functional Medicine different from traditional medicine?

Unlike traditional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medication, functional medicine looks at your body as a whole system where everything in interconnected and related.

We work to uncover what’s causing your symptoms—whether it’s diet, hormones, gut health, or lifestyle—and create a plan to address those root causes with natural solutions.

What types of conditions or symptoms do you help with?

We specialize in addressing chronic health issues such as:

Exhaustion and burnout.

Digestive issues like bloating, heartburn, constipation.

Weight gain or difficulty losing or gaining weight.

Hormonal imbalances in women and men.

Brain fog and memory issues.

Poor sleep quality.

Stress and anxiety.

Do you prescribe medication?

No, we don’t prescribe medication. We cannot, and do not, replace your traditional medical providers.

Instead, we focus on natural solutions like nutrition, supplements, stress management, and lifestyle changes.

However, we can work alongside your primary care doctor if medications are part of your current treatment plan.

What can I expect during my first consultation?

Your first consultation is a 90-minute deep dive into your health history, symptoms, and goals.

We’ll review any previous lab work, discuss your concerns, and recommend functional testing if needed.

By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to address your health issues and start feeling better.

Do I need lab testing?

Lab testing isn’t always required, but it’s a valuable tool we use to uncover hidden imbalances that could be impacting your health and overall wellbeing.

Tests might include hormone panels, gut health assessments, nutrient deficiencies, or toxin screenings.

Functional medicine labs have tighter ranges than conventional tests, which can be one of many reasons that your doctor is telling you your results are normal --but you know that you're still not feeling right.

We’ll only recommend testing that’s necessary for your unique situation.

How long does it take to see results?

This varies for everyone, depending on the complexity of your issues and your commitment to making changes.

Many clients notice improvements in their energy, digestion, and sleep within the first few weeks, while deeper healing may take several months to years.

We will be there to support you every step of the way.

Do you take insurance?

New Life Functional Health is a private-pay practice and does not accept insurance.

Not having to go through insurance gives Claudia freedom to order any functional tests that are relevant to you which is not possible if billing through insurance.

However, we can provide you with documentation to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan.

We do have payment plans to help spread the cost of our services into installments. If you'd like to know more, then please ask.

Is this a one-size-fits-all program?

Absolutely not! Functional medicine is highly individualized.

The plan we create with you is tailored to your unique needs, symptoms, and goals.

No two people are the same, and neither are our recommendations.
