The Basics

What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine is a systems-based approach to healthcare that asks "why?" rather than simply treating symptoms. It considers the complex interplay between genetics, environment, lifestyle, gut health, hormones, and nutrition to understand the root cause of your health concerns.

Nikki Gewirz PA-C integrates functional medicine principles into every aspect of care at Woodstock Medical Aesthetics — because true beauty and vitality start from within.

Advanced Diagnostics

Comprehensive lab panels that go far beyond standard blood work — assessing nutrient levels, inflammatory markers, gut health, hormones, and metabolic function.

Personalized Protocols

No two people are the same. Treatment plans are tailored to your unique biology, health history, and goals — combining nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, and clinical therapies.

Root Cause Focus

Rather than managing symptoms indefinitely, functional medicine seeks to resolve imbalances at their source for lasting improvement in how you feel.

FAQ

Common questions

How is functional medicine different from conventional care?
Conventional medicine excels at treating acute illness and emergencies. Functional medicine focuses on chronic, complex conditions — spending more time with patients, ordering comprehensive labs, and designing personalized wellness plans.
What does a functional medicine consultation involve?
Your first visit involves a thorough health history review, symptom analysis, and often advanced lab testing. Nikki takes the time to truly understand your full health picture before making recommendations.
How long does it take to see results?
Many patients notice meaningful improvements in energy, mood, and digestion within 4–8 weeks. More complex conditions may require 3–6 months of consistent treatment and lifestyle changes.
