Functional Medicine at First Call DPC is a patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms, rather than simply managing them. Instead of treating conditions in isolation, Functional Medicine views the body as an interconnected system — where hormones, digestion, metabolism, stress, sleep, nutrition, and immune function all influence each other.
Many chronic symptoms don’t come from one single cause. They develop gradually, through patterns such as inflammation, hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, stress dysregulation, or digestive dysfunction. Functional Medicine helps uncover why those patterns are happening, and then works to correct them from the inside out.
This approach is thoughtful, comprehensive, and individualized. Care is built around your story, your health history, your lifestyle, your labs, and your goals. Functional Medicine is not about temporary fixes — it is about restoring balance, supporting healing, and helping your body function as it was designed to.
Functional Medicine offers benefits that support whole-body wellness, including:

Some supportive habits that help stabilize your system include:

These can disrupt blood sugar, sleep, and gut balance.
Walks, stretching, and strength training help regulate stress and inflammation.
Awareness is often the first step to healing.
If you’ve tried making changes and still feel off — that is exactly when Functional Medicine becomes helpful. You do not have to figure this out alone.
At First Call DPC, the Functional Medicine process is personal, thorough, and collaborative:

Your care may include nutrition guidance, targeted supplementation, stress recovery strategies, metabolic support, hormone optimization, or lifestyle adjustment.
Healing is a process, not a one-time visit — and we stay connected throughout.
