Book a discovery call to share your goals, ask questions, and learn whether the program is right for you. If you decide to move forward, we’ll guide you through getting started and build your plan around manageable priorities—with follow-ups and messaging support along the way.

Functional medicine is a personalized approach that asks why you’re experiencing symptoms and explores factors that may be contributing. It considers how nutrition, digestion, hormones, sleep, stress, and lifestyle interact—with appropriate testing to help guide recommendations.

Traditional medical care includes diagnosing and treating disease, preventive care, and symptom management. A functional approach emphasizes how nutrition, lifestyle, and different body systems may contribute to your concerns, with personalized guidance and ongoing support.

We review lab results alongside symptoms and trends, and may recommend additional gut or hormone testing when appropriate.

You’ve tried changing your diet, taking supplements, prescriptions, or following health advice—but you still don’t feel like yourself. This is for people ready to explore what may be contributing to their symptoms and move forward with a personalized plan, clear priorities, and ongoing support.

We work with many chronic conditions — this includes:

• Digestive concerns (IBS, SIBO, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and food reactions)

• Hormone concerns (PMS, PCOS, irregular cycles, and menopause-related symptoms)

• Thyroid concerns

• Fatigue, low energy, and brain fog

• Stress, sleep difficulties, anxiety, and low mood

• Skin concerns (acne, eczema, and psoriasis)

• Blood sugar concerns (prediabetes and insulin resistance)

• High cholesterol, metabolic health, and weight management

• Nutrition and nutrient deficiencies

• Nutrition and lifestyle support alongside care for autoimmune conditions

Your journey is unique, and progress takes time. Your commitment and consistency, combined with personalized guidance and ongoing support, help build a strong foundation for success. We’ll celebrate progress, work through challenges, and adjust your plan along the way. Our focus is meaningful, sustainable change—while results and timelines vary and cannot be guaranteed. Some people feel better in a few weeks, while others take months to fully rebalance systems.

Yes! We do not want the price of care to stop you from receiving it. We have flexible payment options for care. We ask that the fee for all labs is paid at the beginning.

It can feel expensive up front because it’s often not covered by insurance. But it’s an investment in getting well and prevention, not staying sick. Many people accept their gut issues, acne, skin issues, chronic fatigue, PCOS, or other symptoms as permanent diagnoses. They may not know that they can heal. Over time, many clients save money by reducing medications, ER visits, surgeries, and lost productivity.

Testing includes bloodwork, comprehensive stool testing, and hormone testing if needed. Each test is selected to answer specific questions—not everyone needs the same panels.

No. We do not work directly with insurance companies, and the testing we offer is self-pay. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of costs before moving forward.

It’s time-intensive, not built for 7-minute insurance visits. It takes deeper testing and longer appointments. That’s why it’s not common in insurance care.

That said, it is growing rapidly. Clinics like the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, Mayo Clinic’s integrative programs, and many MDs are now blending functional medicine with their practice.

Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, Dr. Aristo and Elroy Vojdani, MD, and Dr. David Perlmutter, MD are a few leaders in functional medicine.

Dr. Macie does not prescribe any medication. We work with your body to balance systems and support function. The goal is to promote long term health with disease prevention.

Most conventionally trained doctors are trained to diagnose and treat acute disease using drugs and procedures — and they’re amazing at that. But they aren’t trained in nutrition, root-cause physiology, gut health, or environmental exposures. They label disease and dysfunction but typically do not use natural methods to prevent it.

Medical schools rarely teach nutrition. Food is the foundation of our health and acts as information in the body. Functional medicine fills those gaps with deeper testing and a broader understanding of how our physiology interacts. It can be supportive to your regular primary care visits with your medical doctor.
