At Underwood Functional Wellness in Luray, VA, we provide a 20 minute complementary session as a brief "getting acquainted" call. This allows me to get an overview of your needs, fill you in on my approach, and determine together if functional wellness is a good fit for you.

In this 60-90 minute discovery session, I gather as much information as I can through comprehensive health, diet, lifestyle, medication/supplement history, intake forms, labs, and open dialogue.

 I do ask for a lot of information and do our due diligence, so I can make the most informed recommendations possible, customized for you and your goals. 

Functional lab testing can be quite expensive and many practitioners want to order a slew of testing right off the bat which is often unnecessary, especially if the results do not alter the recommendations.  At Underwood Functional Wellness, I prefer a targeted approach and rely on a thorough intake to guide my lab test recommendations, if any, in order to avoid excessive  testing and expense.

A lot of information is acquired from the discovery session and labs.  From this information, patterns are revealed from seemingly unrelated signs & symptoms, that point us towards systems needing support.  In the results review, I will go over these findings, explain how they can impact your mental health, and share a customized plan to get back on track.

In a nutshell, the process at Underwood Functional Wellness includes:

• REMOVE,REDUCE OR MITIGATE what is causing harm
• RESTORE what is missing
• REPAIR what is damaged

Re-evaluation is an important assessment of your progress.   We determine if you need minimal support moving forward or if we need to course correct based on follow-up evaluation.
