Functional Medicine Doctor in Savannah, GA
Welcome to a Different Kind of Healthcare
If you’ve bounced from doctor to doctor without real answers, or if you’ve been told your labs are normal but you still feel exhausted, foggy, or inflamed — you’re not alone. At Foundational Health, we believe your symptoms are messages, not mysteries. Our Savannah team practices Functional Medicine to help you connect the dots, uncover the root cause, and restore health with a plan that’s built just for you.
We don’t treat diseases — we treat people. We listen deeply, investigate thoroughly, and support healing at the cellular level with lifestyle, nutrition, brain-based therapies, and evidence-based protocols.
What Makes Functional Medicine Different?
Functional Medicine shifts the focus from suppressing symptoms to understanding why they exist. It’s an integrative, systems-based approach that looks at how your gut, brain, hormones, immune system, and environment interact — because they’re all connected.
In Savannah’s humid coastal climate, we often see patients affected by environmental exposures, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune challenges. Our care is tailored to fit you and your unique environment.
What we offer patients who suffer from chronic diseases is a more comprehensive look at the factors that are driving their illness. Such as gut health, chronic inflammation, nutrient and vitamin absorption, detoxification pathways and the brain’s own ability to regulate itself and the body’s stress response.
By taking a detailed look at all of the factors influence their health, we develop lifestyle and dietary changes that can help change their health outcomes and improve their overall health and wellbeing.
3 Reasons Patients Choose Us in Savannah
Our approach is designed for patients who feel unheard or frustrated by traditional care. If you’ve been told “your labs are normal” but you still don’t feel well, it’s time for a deeper investigation.
We Listen First
Your story matters. We begin with a detailed conversation, not a 7-minute consult. We want to understand how your symptoms developed and what they’re trying to tell us.
We Use Advanced Diagnostic Testing
Standard lab tests may not catch early dysfunction. We use comprehensive functional lab panels to find hidden patterns and imbalances before they become disease.

Frequent Asked Questions
Is your care and diagnostic testing covered by insurance?
We do not accept insurance, but we provide all documentation you need to submit for possible reimbursement. Our care is customized and comprehensive, and most insurance plans categorize what we do as wellness care, which is often not covered by standard plans.
Can I use my previous lab testing?
Yes! If your labs are within the last 6 months and relevant, we will review them. Otherwise, we may recommend updated testing to get the clearest picture of your current health.
What types of diagnostic tests do you run?
We utilize comprehensive lab panels including organic acid testing, food sensitivity panels, hormone testing, total toxin screening, GI mapping, and more. In cases of memory loss and congitive decline, we will refer for MRI and advanced testing.
How soon will I start feeling better?
Every case is different. Some patients begin seeing changes within weeks, while others with more complex conditions may require several months. Our goal is sustainable, long-term improvement.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Absolutely. We offer telehealth services to patients across Georgia and nationwide. You can receive the same level of personalized care from the comfort of your home.
