Functional medicine helps you feel your best by addressing the root cause of health
issues. Instead of just treating symptoms, we use a personalized approach that
considers your lifestyle, nutrition, environment, and genetics.

Build My Treatment Plan-
Consultation Required?
Yes. Your functional medicine experience begins with an in-depth consultation. Before your visit, you’ll complete a detailed intake form covering your symptoms, lifestyle habits, goals, medical history, and any current health concerns.
During your consultation, your provider will review your information, discuss what you’re experiencing, and help determine which diagnostic lab tests may be most beneficial — such as hormone panels, gut health testing, micronutrient levels, or food sensitivities.
This step allows us to uncover what’s driving your symptoms so we can create a personalized roadmap to better health. -
Treatment Type:
No two treatment plans are alike. Your plan may include a combination of:
-
Nutrition and lifestyle guidance
-
Supplements, vitamins, or nutraceuticals
-
Prescription medication (if appropriate)
-
Hormone optimization or replacement therapy

Peptide therapy to support cellular healing and repair
We don’t guess — we use advanced diagnostic testing and evidence-based protocols to guide your treatment plan. The goal is to restore balance at the cellular level so your body can function the way it was designed to.

Your skin and overall wellness are connected. Instead of isolating a single concern, we look at your lifestyle, nutrition, stress, hormonal patterns, and environment to understand the full picture of your health.

We don’t guess — we investigate. Whether we’re treating acne, inflammatory skin conditions, weight concerns, or chronic fatigue, we use advanced testing to identify what’s happening internally so we can address the true cause.

Why Choose Total Skin
Weight Loss
Peptides used for weight loss help reduce cravings, curb appetite, and improve how your body burns stored fat. Unlike quick-fix dieting, peptide therapy works with your metabolism to create lasting, maintainable results. Many patients experience steady weight loss, better energy, and fewer food-related struggles.
Mental Clarity
Peptides for mental clarity help reduce brain fog and improve focus, memory, and concentration. By supporting healthy brain signaling and reducing inflammation, these peptides help you think clearly and stay mentally energized throughout the day. Patients often feel more productive, motivated, and mentally balanced.
Joint Repair & Inflammation Relief
Peptides designed for joint repair help reduce inflammation, relieve discomfort, and support the body’s natural healing process. By improving tissue repair and decreasing irritation in the joints, patients can move more comfortably and get back to the activities they love. This is an ideal option for chronic pain, overuse injuries, or inflammation-related discomfort.
Faster Healing & Recovery
Healing and recovery peptides help your body repair itself more quickly after injury, strain, or a medical procedure. By supporting tissue repair and reducing inflammation, these peptides speed up recovery and help you get back to feeling your best. Many patients notice less soreness, quicker healing, and improved mobility.
Digestive Healing & Gut Optimization
Gut-focused peptides help reduce digestive irritation, repair the gut lining, and support a healthier, more balanced digestive system. They work from the inside out to ease symptoms like bloating, gas, and inflammation. Many patients notice more comfort, fewer sensitivities, and improved digestive regularity.
Hormone Replacement Therapy For Women
Bioidentical hormone therapy helps women feel like themselves again by restoring hormones to healthy, balanced levels. It can reduce symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, and brain fog. With customized dosing based on lab results, BHRT brings your body back into balance – naturally.
Hormone Replacement Therapy For Men
Bioidentical hormone therapy helps men regain strength, focus, and stamina by restoring hormone levels to a healthy range. It can improve energy, motivation, sleep, sexual health, and overall performance—helping you feel like yourself again. Your treatment plan is customized based on your goals and lab results.
Still have questions?
Traditional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating disease with medications or procedures. Functional medicine emphasizes prevention, lifestyle interventions, advanced testing, and personalized treatment plans designed to support long-term health and wellness.
Treatment plans are individualized and may include:
- Lifestyle and nutrition guidance
- Supplements (vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals)
- Prescription medication (if appropriate)
- Hormone optimization and replacement therapy
- Peptide therapy
Peptide therapy uses small chains of amino acids that can signal the body to improve
cellular repair, metabolism, immune function, sleep, and recovery. Peptides are used in
functional medicine to support healing, hormone balance, and healthy aging.
Yes, advanced lab testing often helps uncover underlying imbalances. These may
include hormone panels, gut health testing, food sensitivities, micronutrient testing, and more. For your convenience, we perform blood draws and saliva tests right here in the clinic. Your provider will recommend tests tailored to your needs.
Every patient is unique. Some notice improvements within weeks, while others may
need several months for deeper changes. Consistency with your personalized plan is
key to achieving long-term benefits.
Most functional medicine services, including peptide therapy and advanced testing, are not covered by insurance. Payment is due at the time of service. We will provide
transparent pricing and review costs with you before beginning treatment.
We offer both in-person and telehealth appointments for your convenience. Certain
parts of your care, such as lab testing, must be done in person, but the majority of your
follow ups, consultations, and care plan reviews can be completed via telehealth.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Prior to this visit, you will be
sent an intake form asking about what you hope to achieve with us, the health concerns or problems you want to address, any symptoms you are experiencing, and some lifestyle questions.
During the consultation, we will review your medical history, intake form responses, and current health status. We will use this discussion to help determine which lab tests may be most beneficial and create a personalized treatment plan designed to help you reach your goals.
