Functional medicine can treat a wide range of conditions, from chronic illnesses like diabetes and autoimmune diseases to digestive issues and hormone imbalances.
Spoiler: It’s not just for crunchy granola types.
Functional medicine is for anyone who’s sick of being told “your labs look normal.”
Let’s say you’re tired all the time. Or bloated after every meal. Or anxious, inflamed, or just… not quite right.
You go to your doctor. They run tests. Everything comes back “fine.” You’re told to get more sleep, take a multivitamin, or come back when it’s worse.
Sound familiar?
This is where functional medicine comes in — and it’s a game-changer.
At YFS (Your Form Sux), we don’t just care about how you move — we care about how your whole system is functioning. That includes your hormones, your gut, your immune health, your energy, your mindset. Functional medicine connects the dots when traditional care leaves you hanging.
🌿 What Is Functional Medicine, Really?
Functional medicine looks at root causes, not just symptoms. Instead of asking “What diagnosis can we give this person?”, we ask:
- Why is this happening?
- What systems in the body are out of balance?
- How can we support healing — not just suppress symptoms?
It combines the best of modern lab testing, clinical nutrition, lifestyle coaching, and systems biology to treat people like people — not just broken parts.
💥 Conditions Commonly Treated With Functional Medicine
1. Digestive Issues
(aka: the stuff most people normalize for years)
- Bloating
- Gas or reflux
- IBS or IBD
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
- SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
- Leaky gut or gut permeability
- Food intolerances
Why functional medicine works: It tests for imbalances in gut flora, enzyme function, inflammation, and even the gut-brain connection — then builds a tailored plan to heal from the inside out.
2. Hormonal Imbalances
- Fatigue or brain fog
- PMS, irregular cycles, or PCOS
- Low libido or erectile dysfunction
- Adrenal dysfunction (burnout)
- Thyroid issues (hypo, hyper, or autoimmune like Hashimoto’s)
- Menopause/perimenopause symptoms
- Insomnia tied to cortisol or melatonin disruption
Why functional medicine works: It digs into root causes — often stress, toxins, gut health, or blood sugar.
3. Autoimmune Conditions
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Lupus
- Psoriasis
- Celiac disease
- Chronic inflammation without a clear label
Why functional medicine works: It treats immune dysregulation through gut healing, nutrient support, and immune modulation.
4. Metabolic + Blood Sugar Issues
- Pre-diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- Type 2 diabetes
- Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
- Blood sugar crashes or energy dips
Why functional medicine works: It addresses the “why” of metabolic dysfunction — from sleep to microbiome.
5. Chronic Fatigue + Brain Fog
You’ve slept 8 hours. You still feel wiped. You forget basic things. You can’t focus.
Functional medicine looks at:
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Mitochondrial health
- Chronic infections or inflammation
- Poor detox function
- Hidden food intolerances
- Nervous system overload
The fix isn’t “just rest” — it’s about restoring energy production, not just managing burnout.
6. Mood, Anxiety, and Mental Health
- Anxiety or depression without clear triggers
- Cyclical mood shifts tied to hormones
- ADD/ADHD support
- Sleep disturbances
- Post-concussion emotional dysregulation
Why functional medicine works: It treats mental and physical health as one — not separate silos.
7. Skin Conditions
- Acne
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Rosacea
- Hives or unexplained rashes
Often connected to: Gut health, detox capacity, immune imbalances — your skin is telling a deeper story.
8. “I Don’t Feel Right But No One Knows Why”
- You’ve been told everything’s “normal”
- You’ve seen 3 specialists with no answers
- You feel dismissed or like it’s “all in your head”
- You know something’s off
This is functional medicine’s sweet spot: understanding the full-body system and getting it back in sync.
