Functional medicine offers a holistic approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of diseases rather than merely treating symptoms. It looks at the body as an interconnected system and takes into account a person’s unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle to understand the underlying factors contributing to illness.

Functional medicine practitioners often use advanced diagnostic testing, a thorough assessment of your personal health history, and a holistic treatment plan that may include dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, nutraceuticals, and other interventions to help restore balance to the body.

The goal of functional medicine is to support long-term health and prevent disease by optimizing the body's natural functions and promoting healing from within.

Patient Experiences

  • “I struggled with an autoimmune disorder for decades and got used to feeling bad all the time and depending on medication after medication to get through the days. I did not realize the large portion of my discomfort was related to my stomach. April helped me feel so much better. I highly recommend seeing her.”

    K. R. in N.C.

  • “I came to April with heavy constipation, gas, and other digestive issues that was creating an overall sense of lethargy and increasing my depression and anxiety. Come to find out - I had been heavily over-dosing on prebiotics, and needed to reorient my system to repair my leaky gut. I would’ve never known this exploring on my own. April was able to identify the problem right off the bat with the tools and knowledge she has from years in the medical field and prescribe me a treatment plant that went right to work on my gut. On top of that, April was super responsive and attentive with her care. Could not recommend her enough!”

    A.C in S.C.

  • “It’s amazing how much of a difference just a few months of treatment with April has made on my GI health! She truly cared about my persistent symptoms and used her expertise to create a detailed treatment plan that has me feeling the best I have in years - digestive discomfort and disruptive GI symptoms that had become a part of “daily life” are now gone. I truly feel SO much better and am so thankful I worked with Better Health Functional Medicine!”

    L. P. in S.C.

  • ‘’Thank goodness for April! My gut thanks her. She’s been so supportive, truly listens, and makes me feel heard and cared for.’’

    M. D. in N.C.

  • If you had asked me a few months ago how I felt - I would have said “Good!”. After testing and working with the nutrition plan and supplements- I can tell you I had no idea how unwell I felt until I started feeling great! Enjoying food with no issues, sleeping better, feeling great all day, energy - so glad I am working with April!
