FAQ'S

The Institute of Functional Medicine describes the Functional Medicine Model as “an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.”  The goal of Functional Medicine is to uncover the root cause of symptoms and disease rather than just manage them so true healing can take place. We love to prescribe lifestyle medicine whenever possible including dietary changes, sleep recommendations, exercise regimens, stress-reducing activities, and supplements when appropriate. At Faithfully Guided, we very much believe in allopathic medicine and we will prescribe medications as needed.

Yes, our medical providers are conventionally and functionally trained. While we practice root cause medicine, we are also able to do well women's exams, prescription refills, and take care of your other primary care needs.

Counseling and functional medicine work together to address the emotional, mental, and physical factors that influence overall health. Counseling helps individuals better understand how thoughts, emotions, behaviors, stress, and past experiences may be affecting their well-being, while functional medicine explores underlying biological factors such as nutrition, hormone balance, inflammation, gut health, sleep, and environmental exposures. By combining these approaches, clients receive more personalized and comprehensive support for both the mind and body. Counselors can help strengthen coping skills, support healthy behavior changes, regulate stress, and build resilience, while functional medicine practitioners focus on improving lifestyle habits and restoring balance within the body. This collaborative approach can uncover connections between mental and physical health, including the effects of chronic stress and the gut-brain connection, leading to more lasting improvements than addressing symptoms separately.

Whether you're navigating a transition, pursuing a goal, or seeking greater purpose, we help clarify your vision, identify barriers, and develop practical strategies that align your values with meaningful action. Counseling focuses on sustainable growth, accountability, and maximizing your God-given potential.  Depending on your goals, our specialized mind-body treatments may include: • Narrative Therapy to transform limiting beliefs and life stories. • EMDR & Brainspotting to process painful memories and trauma. • Somatic Therapy & Nervous System Work to restore safety and regulation within the body. • Restorative Services, including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Infrared Sauna, and Cold Plunge, to support nervous system recovery and whole-person wellness. • Collaboration with our Functional Medicine team when physical health and emotional health intersect.
