What Functional Medicine Does Differently

Many people who have been injured or are dealing with chronic symptoms find themselves stuck in a frustrating cycle. They follow doctor’s orders, take medications, and try physical therapy—but the pain, fatigue, or brain fog persists. Traditional care often focuses on managing symptoms, yet the root causes frequently remain hidden.

Functional medicine takes a different path. Instead of just addressing the surface, we dig deep to uncover what is truly preventing your body from healing. This means asking questions like:

What is triggering chronic inflammation in your body?
How is your gut health affecting your immune system, energy levels, and brain function?
Are there nutrient deficiencies or hormone imbalances that need correction?
What lifestyle or environmental factors might be slowing your recovery?

Using advanced, specialized lab testing and a thorough review of your health history and lifestyle, we create a personalized plan designed to support your body’s natural healing processes. This is about empowering your health, not just masking symptoms with medications.

Who Can Benefit From Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is ideal for individuals who:

Are recovering from injuries but continue to experience pain or limited mobility
Struggle with unexplained fatigue or persistent brain fog
Feel that their symptoms are being overlooked or dismissed by conventional providers
Want to avoid a purely pharmaceutical approach and explore natural, holistic healing
Are ready to take an active role in their health and wellness journey

Your Next Step

If you’re tired of feeling unheard and want to understand why your symptoms persist, I invite you to schedule an Initial Functional Assessment. This session is a great starting point, and the cost applies toward any further care plans if you choose to continue.

Have You Been Told ‘It’s All in Your Head’?

By Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LEHP, LNC, BC-FMP
Doctor of Nursing Practice | Functional Medicine Nurse Consultant

Have you ever left a doctor’s office feeling dismissed because your labs and scans came back “normal,” yet you still struggle with symptoms like brain fog, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, or unexplained pain?

You’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.

Many patients live with real, ongoing symptoms that conventional medicine doesn’t always detect or fully understand. They are told things like, “It’s all in your head,” or “You just need to relax,” or “There’s nothing wrong.” This can leave you feeling invalidated and stuck, searching for answers that seem just out of reach.

Why This Happens

Standard medical tests are designed to identify clear disease markers or acute injuries. However, many chronic symptoms arise from subtle, systemic imbalances—things that don’t always show up in routine lab work or imaging studies.

Functional Medicine takes a different approach. It focuses on the interconnected systems of your body—your hormones, your gut health, your immune response, your nervous system—and how imbalances in these areas can cause real suffering.

Even if traditional labs say “normal,” your body may still be struggling to maintain balance.

Common Misconceptions That Hurt Recovery

Being told it’s “just stress” can minimize the real physiological effects of chronic stress on your body’s healing.
Assuming symptoms are psychological ignores the complex biochemical and neurological causes that may underlie your pain or fatigue.
Waiting for disease to develop before receiving care means missed opportunities for early intervention and true healing.

What Functional Medicine Offers

Functional Medicine seeks to uncover why your symptoms are present and address those root causes. This may involve:

Comprehensive lab assessments that go beyond standard reference ranges to evaluate your functional status
Detailed review of your diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and emotional health
Personalized protocols to reduce inflammation, support detoxification, balance hormones, and restore gut health
Mind-body strategies to calm the nervous system and reduce chronic stress

This whole-person perspective recognizes you are more than a set of lab results—you are a unique individual whose symptoms deserve personalized care and validation.

You Deserve to Be Heard and Healed

If you’ve been told it’s all in your head, or you don’t have a “real” illness, but you still feel unwell, know that your symptoms are real and meaningful. You don’t have to accept this as your new normal.

At JRM Nurse Consultants, I’m committed to listening, understanding, and guiding you on your journey back to health. Whether you’re battling brain fog, chronic pain, fatigue, or emotional imbalance, functional medicine offers a compassionate and effective path forward.

Take the Next Step

If you’re ready to move beyond confusion and frustration, I invite you to schedule an Initial Functional Health Consultation to begin uncovering your unique root causes

The Gut-Brain Connection: How Healing Your Gut Can Lift the Fog

By Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LEHP, LNC, BC-FMP
Functional Medicine Nurse Consultant

Do you ever feel like you’re living in a fog? Trouble focusing, frequent mood swings, low energy, anxiety—or just feeling “off”? You’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.

As a Functional Health Nurse, I work with individuals every week who’ve been told their symptoms are “just stress” or “all in their head.” But in many cases, those vague but frustrating symptoms are actually connected to something deeper: your gut health.

What Does Your Gut Have to Do with Your Brain?

It turns out, a lot.
Your gut and brain are in constant communication via the gut-brain axis—a powerful two-way highway that links your enteric nervous system (in the gut) with your central nervous system (in the brain).

Think of your gut as your body’s second brain. It houses over 100 million nerve cells and is home to trillions of microbes that influence not only digestion but also mood, memory, focus, and behavior.

When your gut is healthy and balanced, neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA flow more easily—helping you feel calmer, clearer, and more emotionally stable. In fact, about 90% of your body’s serotonin is produced in the gut!

When the Gut-Brain Connection Gets Disrupted

Here’s where things can go off track.
When your gut microbiome becomes imbalanced—due to factors like:

Processed food or sugar-heavy diets
Frequent antibiotic use
Chronic stress or trauma
Environmental toxins
Food sensitivities

… it can lead to leaky gut, inflammation, poor nutrient absorption, and an overloaded immune system. And that often translates into:

Brain fog
Mood swings or irritability
Fatigue
Sleep disturbances
Anxiety or depression
Trouble concentrating

You might feel like your brain is “glitching” or that your emotions are on a rollercoaster—but really, your gut is sending distress signals.

The Good News: Your Body Wants to Heal

The best part? Your gut is resilient.
When we start working to heal the gut, many clients are amazed at how quickly their brain fog lifts, energy returns, and mood becomes more balanced. Even small steps like:

Adding probiotic-rich foods (fermented veggies, kefir, yogurt)
Reducing sugar and processed foods
Getting better sleep
Managing stress with calming techniques
Taking targeted supplements or healing herbs

… can help restore harmony between your brain and your belly.

How I Can Help

If you’re tired of feeling off and ready to uncover the root cause of your symptoms, I invite you to schedule a Functional Health Session with me.
We’ll take a personalized, whole-person approach—looking at your lifestyle, labs, nutrition, gut health, hormones, and emotional stressors—to design a plan that helps you finally feel like yourself again.
