Functional Medicine Focused on Education, Access, and Informed Choice
Where your health & well-being are our top priorites
At Willow Tree Functional Medicine, our Functional Medicine service is designed for individuals who want deeper insight into their health through education and advanced lab testing—without replacing their primary care provider. We believe informed decisions start with understanding, transparency, and collaboration.
This is Functional Medicine approached responsibly: education first, patient autonomy always.
Our Functional Medicine offering provides access to a broad laboratory testing catalog paired with professional guidance to help you navigate your options confidently. You’ll meet with a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner who will review your health history, discuss goals, and explain available testing categories—so you can make informed choices alongside your existing medical care team.
We do not diagnose, treat, or interpret results. Instead, we focus on education, access, and continuity of care.
A Different Approach to Functional Medicine
Traditional models often focus on assumptions. Our Functional Medicine approach begins with understanding.
We prioritize:
-
Education over diagnosis
-
Access over prescriptions
-
Patient autonomy over one-size-fits-all plans
Your role is to choose the testing that aligns with your goals. Our role is to ensure you understand what’s available and how to responsibly share results with your medical provider.
