hormone testing, functional medicine, health coaching

What is Functional Medicine?

It’s a cutting edge way of evaluating and treating patients to create optimum health and wellness, and to treat chronic disease and illness naturally with diet, lifestyle and specialized nutritional supplements. It’s about getting the to root cause of health issues.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic I use my Functional Medicine Health training within my scope of practice, which is all about natural solutions. 

I utilize hormone and metabolic lab testing, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle and coaching. I do not prescribe hormones or medications.

I’m your natural hormone balancing detective, and I love to dive deep to investigate!

It’s all about Testing, not guessing! Don’t put a band aid on it!

When I talk about Testing, it is laboratory testing, which can include blood testing, saliva testing, urine testing, stool testing, and many more. These tests are common functional health tests, and not usually done by your doctor or covered by insurance. So while you may get some annual blood tests from your primary care doctor, I usually see these tests as very basic, and women are falling through the cracks because they are not getting individualized testing they need.

That’s what functional medicine is all about. Taking your history and customizing testing to you. Once we have answers with the testing, what I do is create a personalized nutrition, supplement and lifestyle plan for you based on your testing. Functional medicine is personalized health care for you and your issues, not a cookie cutter solution. No more guessing!

 

Common Conditions that Functional Medicine can Help:

  • Hormone imbalances
  • Menopause, peri-menopause, hot flashes, PMS, PCOS
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Weight gain and sluggish metabolism
  • Depression, low mood, brain fog
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Adrenal fatigue
  • Pain, inflammation, stress
  • Candida
  • Allergies, sinus problems
  • Food allergies and intolerances
  • Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue
  • Digestive problems, leaky gut, irritable bowel syndrome
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Pre-diabetes, diabetes and hypoglycemia
  • This also includes plain just not feeling well or healthy!

What Are the Benefits of Using Functional Medicine?

  • It is all about getting to the cause of your health problems and not covering it up with drugs.
  • It’s also about helping you not waste money, or time, by self diagnosing and taking supplements or treatment that may not be right for your body.
  • The process is about finding out what your individual body needs by doing the appropriate testing. These tests can tell the nutritional status of your body. By re-testing at a later time you can see results and positive changes in your health.
  • Functional Medicine not only treats illness or diseases that you currently have, but with the testing you can know where you are headed and can help you prevent disease.

What Is Natural Women’s Healthcare?

  • This is Functional Medicine geared exclusively to helping women balance their hormones naturally.
  • Many women do not want to take prescription hormones as many synthetic hormones are toxic. Many women are interested in natural solutions to hormones health, as they have a family member or even themselves, have had a  hormone dependent cancer, such as breast cancer, and prefer not to take synthetic hormones.
  • A comprehensive Functional Medicine evaluation will give you a baseline of where you are with your hormones and your health, and offer natural solutions to achieve balance.

What a Client says about working with Dr. Erin:

Malina, 53

Working with Dr. Erin was a great experience. She provided all the testing and results and then we walked through the process of addressing each issue I was facing one at a time. I really enjoyed the lifestyle assessment and learned ways to add joy back into my life regularly. I am still scheduling time for the things that make me happy! The adrenal supplement was extremely helpful in balancing those particular hormones and I felt a difference right away! I was worried the eating changes I needed to make would be difficult and cumbersome but Dr. Erin made it so easy. By the end of our time working together, I had an easy process to follow to know whether or not I was on track.

Lori, 59

I wanted to get my weight and health in line, and I realized that "dieting" was no longer a fix. I was looking for something more, someone to guide me through the changes I most likely needed to make and this must not be a DIET. Dr Erin listened! Through her coaching, we were able to shift my mindset, become more aware, and start achieving the goals of lifestyle change, become a more healthy version of myself, and I have lost 25 pounds!

Brynn, 37

I was struggling with fatigue, gut issues, menstrual cycle issues and weight gain. Dr. Erin helped me get blood tests done quickly. After starting with food changes and supplements, many of my symptoms started to disappear, and very quickly my gut health improved. I now have tools that I can implement every day to continue weight loss, stay motivated with food challenges, and keep up with my kids. Within the 3 months of working with her, I was able to lose 13 pounds, bloat is nearly gone, waking up every day isn’t a chore, and all together I feel better. I am still using the supplements daily, following my food plan, and will continue to work with Dr. Erin when needed. I am so grateful we met and I chose to start this program!

What My Clients and Patients Say:

Jenny, 44

It has been so empowering to work with Dr. Erin. I love that I can correct most of the imbalances I was feeling with food and some supplements. I am definitely finding “me” again! I have the energy to exercise, make healthy goals, and feel good! I am not perfect but I do have tools to get back on track when I do fall off. And I know Dr. Erin is just a call away if I have questions about next steps.

Jenny, 44

Andrea, 39

I have been seeing her for a few months and I’m eating to help support my digestive balance and overall wellness. I recommend this to every single woman out there to do this for themselves before the symptoms pile up and you feel fatigued and cannot lose the extra weight! This is what preventative medicine and maintenance looks like. Dr. Foley is amazing at what she does and I am so blessed to have met her!!

Andrea, 39

Chris, 49

I found these tests and the guidance I received after were life changing! I had been wondering why I was holding on to weight and not feeling my healthiest. Once I got blood work done and reviewed it I could see exactly why and now have tools and habits I am creating to help me feel better and release weight. My journey has just begun, but I am so excited to be armed with knowledge and a person to guide me on this journey to my healthiest self yet!!!

Chris, 49

Sarah, 37

I tried for months to convince my primary care physician and my gynecologist that my hormones were out of whack and causing my symptoms. Within one week of starting Dr. Foley’s program the symptoms were nearly resolved. I didn’t realize how bad I had been feeling until I felt so good!

Sarah, 37

Katie, 46

Thank you for getting me started on a path that I couldn’t do myself. I appreciate what you put into helping me learn, a whole body approach, and what I was waiting for. I have lost 9 pounds in a month, my energy is 50% better and I don’t have the afternoon energy slump anymore!
