Functional Medicine
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a personalized, data-driven approach that looks beyond symptoms to identify and address the root causes of imbalance. Rather than treating conditions in isolation, this integrative model evaluates how genetics, lifestyle, metabolism, hormones, inflammation, gut health, and environmental factors work together to influence your overall wellness.
At Aspire, Functional Medicine is led by Dr. Kendall Wagner, who blends advanced diagnostics with tailored, evidence-based therapies to restore balance, improve vitality, and support long-term health.
Functional Medicine Can Help With:
Chronic fatigue or low energy
Brain fog, difficulty focusing, or mood changes
Hormonal imbalances
Digestive issues or gut-related symptoms
Sleep disturbances
Chronic inflammation
Weight fluctuations or metabolic concerns
Recurrent migraines
Autoimmune tendencies or unexplained chronic symptoms
Longevity, aging, and performance optimization
What to Expect During Treatment
Your Functional Medicine experience begins with a comprehensive consultation and in-depth diagnostic testing. Dr. Wagner reviews your medical history, lifestyle factors, symptom patterns, and wellness goals before determining which advanced laboratory tests are appropriate. Testing may include metabolic panels, micronutrient evaluation, hormone profiling, gut microbiome analysis, inflammatory markers, and biological age assessments.
Once results are reviewed, Dr. Wagner develops a fully customized treatment plan that may include nutritional optimization, peptide therapy, gut support, stress management strategies, targeted supplementation, lifestyle adjustments, and hormone optimization when appropriate.
You’ll receive ongoing follow-up, continuous refinement of your plan, and long-term support to ensure meaningful, sustainable progress.
