FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE GUIDE

Functional Medicine
Made Simple.

A physician-led approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover the underlying causes of chronic health concerns.

Learn how advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment strategies, and whole-body care work together to improve long-term health—not simply manage symptoms.

YOUR JOURNEY

What working together actually looks like.

Functional medicine isn't about chasing symptoms. It's a structured process of understanding your health, uncovering root causes, and creating a plan that evolves with you.

Listen

Every journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we understand your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and health goals—not just what's happening today, but the story behind it.

Discover

Using advanced laboratory testing and clinical evaluation, we identify the biological patterns contributing to your symptoms instead of simply treating the surface problem.

Personalise

Your treatment plan is carefully tailored around your biology, combining nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation and evidence-based medicine into one cohesive strategy.

Thrive

Healing is a process. As your health improves, your plan evolves with regular reviews and adjustments to help you achieve sustainable long-term wellbeing.

"Health isn't about treating one symptom." It's about understanding the whole person.

OUR METHOD

Our Functional Medicine process is intentionally thorough, giving us the information we need to design a highly personalized plan for healing and long-term wellness. We take the time to listen, investigate, and collaborate with you to uncover root causes and support your body's natural ability to restore balance. Every Functional Medicine journey includes three comprehensive steps, together creating a roadmap toward lasting health.

01

In-Depth Intake & Health History

We begin with an extensive consultation reviewing your personal and family history, lifestyle habits, environmental factors, nutrition, stress, sleep, medications, and current symptoms to understand your complete health picture.

02

Physical Health Exam

During your visit we evaluate key health markers including blood pressure, heart rate, body composition, and other physical findings to better understand how your body is functioning.

03

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

When appropriate, we utilize comprehensive laboratory testing to evaluate hormones, nutrients, gut health, inflammation, metabolism, and other biomarkers that help us build your personalized treatment plan.

BEFORE & AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare For Your
Functional Medicine Journey.

    Bring a list—or the bottles—of all vitamins, supplements, and medications you're currently taking.

AFTER YOUR FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE APPOINTMENT

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your Questions
Answered.

Learn more about Functional Medicine, our physician-led approach, and what you can expect throughout your wellness journey.

Functional Medicine is a physician-led approach that views the body as an interconnected system. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, it investigates the underlying causes of how you feel by examining how hormones, gut health, metabolism, inflammation, and lifestyle interact.

Yes. Our approach is grounded in clinical evaluation, established diagnostics, and physician judgment. Recommendations are based on your individual history and testing rather than a fixed protocol.

Functional Medicine is designed to complement, not replace, your existing care. You can continue to see your primary care physician and specialists alongside your work with us.

We are a cash-based practice, which allows for longer, more thorough consultations. Standard laboratory testing, imaging, and prescriptions can often continue to be billed through your existing insurance coverage when applicable.

Not always. Specialty testing is recommended only when it's clinically appropriate and likely to provide meaningful insight into your specific concerns.

Consultations are intentionally longer than a typical visit, giving us the time to understand your full health history, symptoms, and wellness goals.

Functional Medicine is best suited for patients seeking a more investigative and personalized approach to chronic health concerns. A free consultation helps determine whether this approach is the right fit for you.

Every recommendation is selected based on your clinical evaluation and any testing performed— never a one-size-fits-all template. Your treatment plan evolves as your health progresses to ensure it continues to support your goals.

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES

Restore Balance.
Reclaim Your Vitality.

When your hormones are out of balance, everything feels off. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) provides a personalized, science-backed approach to restoring harmony in your body and helping you feel like yourself again.

From fatigue and mood swings to low libido and brain fog, BHRT targets the root cause of hormonal imbalance rather than simply masking symptoms, helping you regain energy, confidence, and overall well-being.

BOOK A FREE 15 MINUTE CONSULTATION
OUR METHOD

At The Renewal Method, we believe hormone balance is the foundation of whole-body wellness. Our expert-led approach begins with comprehensive lab testing to identify your unique hormone levels, followed by a personalized plan designed to naturally and effectively rebalance your body. We closely monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure long-term success.

We Offer

Testosterone — Available in creams and injections to improve mood, stamina, and lean muscle mass.

Progesterone — Available in pills to promote restful sleep, reduce anxiety, and support cognitive function.

Estrogen — Available in patches and creams to ease hot flashes, lift mood, and support bone and heart health.

Who We Treat

We care for both women and men experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance. Your consultation includes a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, along with appropriate laboratory testing to identify the underlying hormonal changes affecting your health.

FOR WOMEN

Hormonal Balance For Women

As women move through their 30s, 40s, and 50s, hormone levels naturally fluctuate. This can lead to symptoms that impact both physical and emotional well-being.

  • Fatigue
  • Weight Gain
  • Low Libido
  • Brain Fog
  • Anxiety or Mood Swings
  • Irregular Cycles
  • Night Sweats or Hot Flashes

Bioidentical hormones can help restore estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels, helping you feel more focused, energized, and emotionally balanced.

FOR MEN

Hormonal Balance For Men

Men also experience hormonal shifts as they age. Declining testosterone levels can affect physical performance, mental clarity, and overall vitality.

  • Decreased Energy
  • Reduced Muscle Mass
  • Low Libido
  • Performance Issues
  • Depression or Irritability
  • Difficulty Concentrating
  • Sleep Disruption

Testosterone replacement therapy can improve strength, focus, mood, confidence, and overall quality of life through a personalized treatment plan.

BHRT helps regulate mood, improve energy, support restful sleep, restore libido, enhance focus, support metabolism, and relieve symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal imbalance.

Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body, allowing them to work with your body's natural hormone receptors while restoring healthy balance.

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and laboratory testing. Based on your results, we create a personalized hormone plan and monitor your progress with regular follow-up visits.

BHRT is suitable for many women and men experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance such as fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, sleep disturbances, hot flashes, brain fog, or low energy. Your provider will determine if treatment is appropriate for you.

There is little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after their appointment while following any instructions provided by their healthcare professional.

Treatment is generally well tolerated. Depending on the prescribed delivery method (cream, patch, pill, or injection), most patients experience little to no discomfort.
