How to prepare & get the most from your appointment

Pre-Appointment Preparation

Before your 90-minute integrative appointment, our team will thoroughly review your intake information, lab results, and any scans you’ve provided. This preparation ensures that we can focus on discussing your specific health concerns during your visit.

In-Person Examination

For in-person appointments, a focused physical exam will be conducted to gain valuable insights into your overall health. Your body often provides essential clues that help us better understand your condition. We typically order comprehensive lab tests, which are generally covered by insurance. However, some advanced integrative labs may be recommended and might not be covered by insurance.

Treatment Plan and Follow-Up

During your appointment, we will initiate a preliminary treatment plan based on the information gathered. This plan will be refined once we have reviewed your lab results. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to discuss these findings in detail and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

New Patient Forms and Details

Please complete the comprehensive new patient forms sent to you when scheduling your appointment. Providing detailed information is crucial in integrative medicine, as every detail helps us uncover the root cause of your condition. We will also discuss various aspects of your lifestyle, stressors, and environmental exposures, as these factors significantly impact your health.

Submitting Records

If you have recent lab results, scans, or other pertinent records, please email them to our HIPAA-compliant email at info@carolinaintegrativewellness.com before your appointment. This allows us to add them to your file and review them in advance, ensuring a more informed and effective consultation.

Functional Medicine Questions

What conditions can functional medicine help with?

Patients often seek functional medicine care for concerns such as:

Hormone imbalances
• Thyroid disorders
• Chronic fatigue
• Digestive disorders and gut health issues
• Autoimmune conditions
• Metabolic health concerns
• Chronic inflammation
• Unexplained symptoms

Functional medicine focuses on identifying the underlying biological and lifestyle factors contributing to symptoms.

How is functional medicine different from conventional medicine?

Conventional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating disease once symptoms appear. Functional medicine takes a broader approach by examining lifestyle, nutrition, environment, genetics, and metabolic function to identify why symptoms are occurring in the first place.

Both approaches can work together to support comprehensive patient care.

What does a functional medicine practitioner do?

A functional medicine practitioner evaluates the underlying factors affecting a patient’s health, including nutrition, hormones, metabolism, gut health, and lifestyle factors. Treatment plans are personalized and may include laboratory testing, targeted supplementation, lifestyle strategies, and integrative therapies designed to support overall health.

How long does functional medicine treatment take?

The timeline varies depending on the condition being addressed. Some patients notice improvements within weeks, while others require longer-term care plans. Functional medicine focuses on long-term improvement rather than quick symptom suppression.
