Faqs About Fibromyalgia and Functional Medicine
Can functional medicine really help with fibromyalgia?
Do you offer lab testing for fibromyalgia?
Yes. We use functional and conventional lab testing to evaluate inflammation, thyroid function, adrenal health, nutrient status, and more. While fibromyalgia itself is a clinical diagnosis, testing helps us uncover the root imbalances driving your symptoms.
Can you help me reduce or stop my medications?
Yes, but always safely and in collaboration with your existing care team. As your health improves, many patients find they naturally need fewer medications, but we never advise stopping them suddenly.
How long does it take to see results?
It varies. Some notice improvements in weeks, while others take months depending on how long they’ve had fibromyalgia and how quickly we can implement changes. We always set realistic expectations and adapt your care plan as you progress.
Do you offer remote consultations?
Yes. We work with patients virtually, and we can also arrange in-person appointments if clinically indicated.
How do appointments work?
Your first appointment lasts 90 minutes, with your doctor reviewing your history in advance. Together, we’ll identify key issues, explore why they’ve developed, and decide on the most effective next steps.
Does the appointment price include testing?
No. Testing is charged separately and only recommended if it will directly influence your treatment plan.
I already have a test and a diagnosis. Can you still help?
Yes. You can upload your results before your consultation. If you have many, a small preparation fee may apply, but we’ll always agree this with you first.
How does the nutrition side work?
Nutrition is central to managing fibromyalgia. We provide tailored guidance, and for complex cases we recommend you also see our nutritional therapist to accelerate results.
