At our Atlanta functional medicine center, we provide a full range of holistic healthcare treatments to assist in your health and wellness journey, from IV therapy to HRT to weight loss programs. But you may not know that we offer telehealth services; in fact, we can see patients in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas! Here is everything you need to know about functional medicine telehealth:
Benefits of Telehealth
Our #1 priority is to give access to high-quality healthcare services to as many people as possible. Since in-office visits can be limited due to busy schedules, proximity to our locations, or physical ability, telehealth allows patients to receive consultations, bloodwork, supplements, prescriptions, and more, all from the convenience of home. It’s like having your own personal health coach just a phone call or video chat away!
EPM’s Areas of Focus
While certain lab testing and specific natural treatments require in-person visits, a telehealth visit can include custom treatment planning, symptom reviews, lifestyle coaching, medication management, and supplement recommendations. Here are a few areas we specialize in:
Weight Loss
In addition to personalized diet and exercise plans, functional medicine for weight loss also includes motivation and accountability support, and prescriptions for GLP-1 medications if necessary. We prioritize helping you establish healthy habits for long-term weight loss.
Fatigue
Dealing with fatigue, brain fog, and other debilitating symptoms can seem like there’s no end in sight. From hormone imbalances to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, we can help pinpoint exactly what’s going on and implement strategies to promote clarity and healing.
Thyroid & Autoimmune Disorders
You can also utilize our telehealth services to evaluate functional medicine lab testing results for a variety of disorders and autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto’s and Graves’ Disease. We look for underlying causes of your symptoms to get at the root of the problem before recommending a care plan.
Sexual Health
Men’s and women’s sexual health is another area of expertise for our functional medicine telehealth services, whether you’re dealing with infertility or want to know how to improve hormone balance and libido. We can discuss natural lifestyle changes and plant-based therapies like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, as well as alternatives to TRT and other forms of peptide therapy.
Neurodegenerative Disorders
If you or a loved one needs testing for cognitive decline, take advantage of virtual visits for added convenience without sacrificing the quality of care. We align our functional medicine methods with the Bredesen Protocol (ReCODE) to support patients after a positive diagnosis.
Cardiovascular Health
Whether you’re already experiencing symptoms are just want to stay on top of your heart health, our telehealth visits can go over coronary calcium scans and discuss heart-healthy diet and lifestyle tips, exercise and stress management, and more.
