What Is Functional Medicine? And Why Are More Patients Choosing It?

Discover functional medicine at Mod Doc—longer visits, advanced labs, and real answers for fatigue, hormone imbalance, gut issues, and more. Personalized, root-cause care in Draper and Farr West that puts your health first.

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office with more questions than answers—or felt like your symptoms were dismissed or rushed—you’re not alone. That’s exactly why more patients are turning to functional medicine, a model of care that looks deeper, listens longer, and treats the root causes of illness, not just the symptoms.

Functional medicine is a science-backed, patient-centered approach that asks: Why is this happening? instead of just What can we prescribe?

At Mod Doc, we combine functional medicine with the best of conventional care, offering advanced diagnostics, personalized plans, and treatments that support your body’s ability to heal and perform at its best.

What Makes Functional Medicine Different?

Longer appointments and deeper conversations with your provider
Focus on lifestyle, nutrition, hormones, gut health, and inflammation
Use of specialized labs to detect dysfunction early
A belief that symptoms are messengers—not annoyances to suppress

Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, hormone imbalance, autoimmune issues, or just not feeling like yourself—functional medicine helps uncover the why behind your health story.

How Mod Doc Delivers Functional Medicine Care

Our clinics in Draper and Farr West are built around personalized care. We use advanced lab panels, in-depth intake processes, and tailored supplement and lifestyle plans to help you move from diagnosis to transformation.

We also integrate functional therapies like bioidentical hormone therapy (Evexias), clinical nutraceuticals, IV therapy, and advanced skin & body treatments using Viora, Alma, and Nubian Health products. This whole-person approach helps patients see and feel real results—often in areas where conventional medicine fell short.

Is Functional Medicine Right for You?

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel well—or you’re tired of band-aid solutions and rushed appointments—functional medicine may be your path forward.
