What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a personalized, science-based approach to healthcare that looks at the whole person—not just the symptoms. Instead of chasing quick fixes, we ask why your symptoms are showing up in the first place.
Symptoms
Root Cause
Healing
At Optimal You, we believe your body is always communicating to you. Fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, mood swings, gut problems—these aren’t random. They are signals. Functional Medicine helps us to connect the dots by digging deeper through advanced diagnostic testing, understanding your lifestyle, genetics, and environment, before creating a holistic plan tailored specifically to you. We believe finding information is only the beginning. What matters is knowing what to do with it.
Remember, symptoms are not normal, even if you are experiencing them on a "normal or regular" basis. They are your body's way of saying something needs attention. Our goal is to help your body heal from the inside out so you no longer face nagging symptoms from conditions such as ....
Eczema
MTHFR
Anxiety/ Depression
POTS
Heavy Metal Toxicity
MCAS
Weight Loss
Auto-Immune
Gut Disorders
Hormonal Imbalances

Advanced Diagnostic Testing
You’re not alone. You deserve to be heard.
And yes—there is a path forward.
Do you have 'normal' test results but still sense something isn't right? We recognize the frustration of health issues that remain unresolved. And want you to know if your gut is telling you something’s off—even when your labs say everything is 'normal'—you’re not imagining it.
At Optimal You Wellness Center, we meet so many individuals, just like you, who are tired of being dismissed, handed prescriptions, or told it’s all in their head.
We do things differently here.
Yes, we run advanced diagnostic labs. Yes, we look deeper. But more than that, we offer a new way of understanding your body—one that empowers healing, not hiding symptoms.
We ask why your symptoms are happening, and we walk every step of the way with you as we uncover the root causes and create a Personalized Health Blueprint that’s natural, personalized, and supportive for long-term wellness.
If you're looking for options beyond prescriptions and western medicine
If you’re craving holistic care that considers your whole story
If you're tired of being told "everything looks fine" when you know it’s not
We’re here for you. At Optimal You Wellness Center, we’re shifting the healthcare paradigm—one individual at a time. And you don’t need insurance to receive the care you deserve.
As a husband and wife team, and parents to three beautiful girls, we understand the importance of feeling your best, not just for yourself, but for the people who count on you most. That’s why we’re passionate about providing functional medicine solutions, chiropractic care, and brain-balancing therapies to support every member of your family, both naturally and holistically.
We truly believe that healing is an inside job! That's why we stand by our philosophy- "We don't guess. We test". And because no two people walk the same path in life, we offer individualized care backed by advanced diagnostic testing.
Our comprehensive testing gives us key insights as to what is going on within your body and is designed to get to the true ROOT cause of your health issue. We truly believe everyone is unique, that's why working with us looks different for everyone. We're here to support you every step of the way to ensure you get both answers and results toward feeling like yourself again.
We recognize we cannot do this all alone. Take some time to meet our amazing team behind Optimal You who we truly believe are the heart and soul of what we do.
The Optimal You Method
The Optimal You Method is our five-phase approach to functional medicine. It connects your story, your lab results and your daily life into one Personalized Health Blueprint, then adjusts it as you heal.
Discovery Phase: Listen & Investigate
We understand that your whole story truly matters. There are two parts to the Discovery Phase --- The (FREE) Discovery Call & New Patient Exam. During this phase we listen deeply to understand your symptoms, medical history, prior care, lifestyle, goals, and baseline data. From there we will intentionally determine which advanced diagnostic testing is needed so our team can gain the necessary data and answers to create a Personalized Health Blueprint moving forward.
Foundational Phase: Build + Prepare
Why wait for your labs to come in? Your care starts right away.
Between your initial exam and receiving your testing results, we use this time to build a strong foundation from the inside out. You'll begin our online Foundations Program and work with our team to create an anti-inflammatory lifestyle centered around the things that matter most: nourishing your body with the right foods, reducing stress, improving sleep, and creating opportunities to move your body. This isn't about waiting for answers. It's about starting where you are, building healthier habits now, and preparing your body for the personalized strategy ahead.
Strategy Phase:Connect & Prioritize
Testing does not equal a personalized health strategy. Just because a clinic runs labs doesn’t mean the care is individualized. True functional medicine should offer a customized approach that fits your unique body, story, and lab results. During this phase we will meet for your Strategy Session where we'll translate your lab results to identify the priorities and the "why" to create a care pathway or Personalize Health Blueprint—not a plug-and-play supplement plan.
Healing Phase: Implement & Adjust
Your Personalized Health Blueprint should fit into your life—not require your life to revolve around care.
You will have a care team behind you to help translate your plan into realistic next steps. We will communicate along the way, celebrate the milestones and adjust care, as needed.
Thrive Phase: Measure & Sustain
Time, space, and trust are essential to healing. We take the time to reassess your symptoms, review your current health data, and re-examine what is working and what may need to change. From there, we can identify what you need to maintain your progress and create a plan for your ongoing support and next chapter in health. You should never feel dismissed, rushed, or left wondering what comes next.
It's 20 minutes, by phone, no cost.

Patient Wins
We love seeing Dr. Lexie and Dr. Tommy, husband and wife duo, at Optimal You. Our whole family has been working with them since last year and they've been able to help us each address our own health issues using functional medicine. They've guided us through gut health, parasites, food allergies, primitive reflexes and more. I fully trust both of them to care for my toddler- and the rest of my family. They are an asset to our care team.
Happy Family
This experience has been life changing for me. I have gotten relief in my every day life and feel like I am becoming myself again. I dealt with constant brain fog, tremors, changes in mood/ energy, etc. I highly recommend this to anyone who has been searching for different options and is willing to be open-minded to different approaches.
Sean
We are only 3 months in but we have seen a night and day change in our 5 year old daughter. She is way more energetic, less reactive/ angry, her dark circles are fading, her skin and eyes and hair are just glowing. She's at a healthy weight now and all of her symptoms that we were terribly concerned with (precocious puberty related issues) have gone down dramatically.

New Patient Exam
Meet one-on-one during our Discovery Phase with your physician for an in-depth review of your health history, current concerns, previous treatments, medications, lifestyle, nutrition, stress, sleep, and wellness goals. Rather than simply treating symptoms, our goal is to understand the complete picture of your health and identify the factors that may be contributing to your condition.

Why we work outside of the box...
Insurance companies require companies to stick to their regulations which puts limitations on the types of comprehensive diagnostic testing we can order. The tests that are ordered by a primary care doctor are more generalized. We order comprehensive testing that allows us to dig deeper to truly understand how each system in your body is functioning. Those assessments are typically not covered by insurance because they are more targeted than the traditional testing covered by insurance. This is why we partner with labs who offer competitive cash rates to ensure our patients are getting the best value possible.
In addition to cash and credit card, we accept additional payment options such...
√ HSA
√ FSA
√ Care Credit
√ Klarna, After Pay, and Affirm
