The lifestyle changes you will be asked to make will depend on your particular health challenges and the details in your Live Well Plan.

A few of the most common changes nearly all patients are required to make include:

• Diet and nutrition
• Stress management
• Movement and exercise
• Sleep

Wild Fig Functional Medicine does not work directly with any insurance provider, but some of the medical tests, services, medication, and supplements can be covered by insurance or HSA. You can request an invoice, which is an itemized form of services rendered, complete with corresponding codes, that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Yes! Wild Fig Functional Medicine follows the HIPAA guidelines on telemedicine that include:

• Only authorized users should have access to Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).
• A system of secure communication should be implemented to protect the integrity of ePHI.
• A system of monitoring communications containing ePHI should be implemented to prevent accidental or malicious breaches.

That means we will only ever communicate with you through secure channels and our password-protected portal. We will never communicate via any platform that is not fully secured to protect your private information.

A complete approach to your health and wellness requires a team of providers, which includes a regular primary care provider, in addition to working with Sarah Carson. Wild Fig Functional Medicine cannot be your primary care provider because there are things like physical exams, acute and urgent conditions that cannot be managed virtually. While functional medicine offers an additional layer of expertise, it’s not a replacement for conventional medicine, when indicated for acute, urgent or serious medical conditions. In addition, you should utilize your local urgent care or ER in the case of emergencies.

Everyone’s journey to regaining their health is different, which means every patient sees improvement at their own pace. A full recovery will take time as your body adjusts to a new, healthier normal. However, you can expect to see at least some improvements within the first six weeks.

According to The Institute for Functional Medicine, "The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness."

It takes a multifaceted approach in order to address the root cause of your symptoms to provide you with long-lasting improvements.

Other common questions you might have about functional medicine include:

Conventional medicine is a reactive approach that addresses the symptoms themselves. In contrast, functional medicine is a proactive approach that focuses on the root causes of symptoms. It strives to find ways to fix the root cause of symptoms for long-lasting relief and better overall health rather than masking or managing symptoms that can indicate serious underlying pathology or become more severe over time.

​​Hormones play a huge role in our body biochemistry. They impact how we feel, physically and mentally, and can even play a role in our risk of developing diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease – just to name a few. Hormone imbalances can arise for a multitude of reasons, wreaking havoc on our physical and emotional health. Additionally, as we age, hormone levels naturally decline, creating sexual dysfunction, weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings and more. By rebalancing hormones, we can help fix the root cause of your symptoms, prevent your risk of serious medical conditions and help you live a more youthful, vibrant version of yourself.

Over the last few decades, research has uncovered the connection between the gut and other areas of our body that we never would have imagined. Also referred to as the gut microbiome, our gut is full of both good and bad bacteria. The gut microbiome can be affected by everything from pregnancy, antibiotics, stress, and what we eat – impacting our mood, cognition, and even pain. We now know that the gut is responsible for neurotransmitter production such as serotonin, and comprises 90% of our immune system. These are just a few examples of the important role of the gut in every system of our body. You can see how imbalances in gut health can so adversely impact our overall health if we don't correct them!

Bioidentical hormones have the exact chemical structure as the hormones made by the human body. In contrast, most commercially available and conventionally prescribed hormones are not chemically identical and are made from the urine of pregnant horses or are synthetic. The exact chemical structure of a hormone is extremely important so that it can replicate the normal function present in the human body. Bioidentical hormones come in a variety of forms including patches, pills, creams, sublingual drops or throches, etc. They can be compounded, which means they are prescribed and made by a pharmacist tailored to your specific needs, or they can be given as FDA-approved prescriptions through a conventional pharmacy through insurance.
