Functional Medicine Jacksonville & Jacksonville Beach, FL
At Foundational Health, we offer Functional Medicine services to patients in Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach who are seeking a deeper, more personalized approach to health. Unlike conventional care that often focuses on symptom suppression, Functional Medicine aims to uncover and address the underlying imbalances that contribute to chronic conditions. We utilize advanced diagnostic testing, in-depth consultations, and a systems-based approach to understand how lifestyle, genetics, environment, and nutrition all influence your health. Whether you’re dealing with autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, gut problems, or hormonal imbalances, our Functional Medicine practitioners are dedicated to creating customized treatment plans that support lasting healing and optimal wellness.
"Why Are My Labs Normal... But I still Feel Sick?"
If you’ve ever been told that “everything looks fine” on your labs — but you’re still dealing with fatigue, brain fog, pain, or other unexplained symptoms — you’re not alone. This is one of the most common frustrations we hear from patients across Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach.
Traditional lab testing is designed to flag disease at a late stage, not detect subtle imbalances that impact your quality of life. At Foundational Health, we use Functional Medicine lab ranges, which are narrower and optimized for ideal health — not just the absence of disease. More importantly, we interpret your labs in the context of your full health story, symptoms, and history.
Your body is giving you signals. You deserve a provider who listens. With advanced diagnostic testing and root-cause analysis, we help you understand why you feel the way you do — and what to do next.
The Key Benefits of Using Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine takes a personalized, science-based approach to healing by addressing the root causes of illness — not just the symptoms. Here are three major benefits patients experience when choosing this model of care:
Personalized Care Plans
No two bodies are the same — and your treatment shouldn’t be either. Functional Medicine uses your unique history, lifestyle, and labs to craft a care plan that’s specific to you, not the average person.
Root-Cause Solutions, Not Band-Aids
Instead of masking symptoms with medication, Functional Medicine investigates and addresses the underlying imbalances causing your illness — from gut dysfunction and inflammation to hormonal or immune issues.
Long-Term, Sustainable Health
Functional Medicine empowers you with education, tools, and support to take charge of your health. The goal isn’t just to feel better now — it’s to create long-term wellness you can maintain for life.

Frequent Asked Questions
Do you schedule Telehealth consultations?
Yes, we do! Our practice is designed to serve patients both locally and nationally through secure, HIPAA-compliant Telehealth consultations. Whether you’re in Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, or across the country, our virtual model makes expert-level care accessible from the comfort of your home.
Can I use my existing lab results?
Often, yes. We do our best to use any recent labs you’ve had done, especially if they’re within the last 6 months. However, functional medicine often requires a deeper look, so we may order additional or updated labs if we need more specific data to understand the root of your symptoms. The goal is precision and personalization — so we base our recommendations on the most accurate, relevant information available.
How much do your labs cost?
Lab costs vary depending on your health history and what we need to investigate. Some foundational labs may cost a few hundred dollars, while more extensive panels can range into the thousands. We tailor the testing based on your unique needs and never order more than what’s necessary to provide effective, targeted care.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not bill insurance directly. However, we provide detailed visit notes and billing codes that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many patients are able to use HSA/FSA funds toward their care.
Can you guarantee results?
We wish we could, but no — there are simply too many variables in complex, chronic health conditions to offer guarantees. That said, we’re highly selective about the patients we accept into care, and we’re proud to report that 86% of patients who complete their protocol with us experience meaningful improvement in their health.
