A Different Approach

What Functional Medicine Means at PeakLAB

Functional medicine is a broad framework for looking at health questions in context. At PeakLAB, Dr. Bailey considers your history, current concerns, goals, lifestyle, and available health information together.

A first visit allows time for a careful conversation. Testing, referrals, medication discussions, and follow-up are considered only when they are clinically appropriate for the individual.

Dr. Bailey combines her background in Emergency Medicine and Integrative Medicine with clear shared decision-making. This information is educational and is not a substitute for individual medical advice.

Relevant Testing

Dr. Bailey considers existing records, standard testing, or other information only when it may help answer an individual clinical question.

Clinical Context

Your history, symptoms, goals, medications, sleep, stress, and lifestyle may all inform a thoughtful medical conversation.

Individual Evaluation

Recommendations and next steps are based on your individual circumstances rather than a preset testing or treatment package.

Whole-Person Perspective

A visit may consider nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and environment alongside the health questions most relevant to you.

The first visit

What an initial functional medicine evaluation includes

An initial evaluation is a 90-minute telemedicine visit with Dr. Bailey. It starts by defining the question you want help with, then reviews the history and information that may change the next medical decision.

This is not a preset panel or a promise to test every possible marker. The purpose is to decide together whether existing records are enough, whether focused testing or a referral would be useful, or whether another care setting is the safer next step.

Dr. Bailey may review

  • Your current concern, goals, symptoms, and relevant health history
  • Medications, supplements, sleep, activity, nutrition, stress, and other context that may matter
  • Prior records, laboratory results, imaging, and trends you already have
  • Whether additional testing, treatment discussions, coordination, referral, or in-person care is appropriate
