What We Do & Offer
How functional medicine works, what to expect, and our services
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine (FM) focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just managing symptoms. By uncovering the underlying imbalances, we not only help relieve current health concerns but also support broader healing across related systems in the body.
At Partnered Healing, we collaborate with each patient to restore health through personalized care plans. These often include tailored nutrition, targeted supplements, and herbal therapies that promote healing in safe, sustainable ways. While we primarily use natural, food-based interventions, we also recognize the value of modern medicine when appropriate—our goal is always comprehensive, integrative care.
Take digestive issues, for example. Common symptoms like bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements, or indigestion are often treated conventionally with medications that mask symptoms but don’t solve the root problem. Functional medicine looks deeper. These symptoms frequently stem from imbalances in the gut microbiome—especially the bacteria responsible for nutrient absorption and immune regulation. Left unaddressed, these imbalances may contribute to chronic conditions like arthritis, eczema, autoimmune diseases, and more.
Through advanced testing (like stool or breath analysis), we identify the specific imbalances affecting you. Then, we build a step-by-step plan to:
-
Remove harmful pathogens
-
Replace deficient digestive factors
-
Repair the gut lining with nutrients and antioxidants
-
Reinoculate with probiotics and prebiotics
-
Rebalance your lifestyle to support long-term health
If you’re ready to get to the root of your symptoms and start feeling better, we invite you to schedule an appointment. We’d love to partner with you on your healing journey.
Our Core Focus Areas
Your gut is the foundation of your health. We don’t just treat symptoms—we uncover the root causes behind them. Our functional medicine approach focuses on restoring balance through personalized strategies that support digestion, immunity, mood, and overall well-being. By evaluating your diet, lifestyle, and emotional health, we create tailored plans to help you feel better from the inside out.
ROOT-CAUSE HEALING PERSONALIZED TO YOU

Before your visit, you’ll complete a comprehensive questionnaire covering your health history, lifestyle, symptoms, and prior treatments.
Your first visit (90 minutes) includes a deep-dive review of your intake form and current concerns.
Your follow-up visit (60 minutes) includes lab review and a custom care plan tailored to your unique goals.
If applicable, we may recommend specialty testing, such as:
GI-MAP or GI Effects (digestive function)
SIBO breath testing
DUTCH hormone/adrenal testing
NutrEval (micronutrient analysis)

Neurotransmitter evaluations
Testing options vary by case and are discussed during your intake.
