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

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.

Inflammation: The Invisible Barrier to Healing

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

You’ve followed every instruction, completed your physical therapy, and taken the medications—but the pain still lingers. Maybe it’s joint stiffness, nerve irritation, or just that deep ache that never really went away. If you feel like something’s still wrong but no one can tell you what it is, there may be one hidden culprit: inflammation.

What Is Inflammation—and Why Does It Matter?

Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury, stress, or toxins. In small doses, it helps with healing. But when inflammation becomes chronic, it actually prevents healing. It keeps your tissues irritated, your nerves overreactive, and your immune system exhausted.

This invisible force can stall your recovery long after the original injury has healed—especially if it’s never addressed at the root.

Clues That Inflammation Is Slowing You Down

As a Functional Medicine Nurse Consultant, I see this often in clients who say:

  • “I’m still in pain even though my MRI looks fine.”
  • “I was cleared by ortho but don’t feel like myself.”
  • “I can’t sleep, my energy is low, and everything feels inflamed.”

These aren’t just symptoms to medicate. They’re signals that your body is trying to say:
“Help me heal at the source.”

How We Address Inflammation Functionally

At JRM Nurse Consultants, we take a deeper, root-cause approach. We focus on:

  • Personalized anti-inflammatory nutrition
  • Gut health restoration (since 70% of your immune system lives there)
  • Functional lab testing to identify hidden imbalances
  • Stress reduction protocols that calm the nervous system

When we lower inflammation naturally, the body can do what it was designed to do—heal.

“If you’ve been frustrated by slow recovery or vague diagnoses, don’t settle. There is another way.”

Let’s Build Your Recovery Plan

A one-time injury should not lead to a lifetime of pain.

Why You’re Still in Pain After the MRI Says You’re Fine

By Dr. Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LNC, LEHP, BC-FMP

“There’s nothing more we can do.”

If you’ve been injured, seen an orthopedic specialist, had all the tests, and still heard those words—you’re not alone.
Maybe your MRI came back “normal” or showed only mild bulging. The doctor reassured you it wasn’t serious. Yet you’re still dealing with pain, fatigue, or even nerve symptoms like leg weakness and instability.

So now what?

You’re still in pain, but the system is finished with you. You’re told to rest, maybe try more PT, and wait it out. Some are even told the pain is “in their head.”

But here’s the truth: the absence of major structural injury does NOT mean you’re fine.

What Traditional Imaging Can Miss

MRIs and X-rays are powerful—but limited. They’re excellent for detecting major injuries like herniated discs or fractures. But they can miss:

  • Chronic inflammation
  • Nerve dysfunction without compression
  • Muscle imbalances
  • Central sensitization (when your nervous system becomes hypersensitive to pain)

These are functional issues, not structural ones. That’s where functional medicine steps in.

What Is Functional Medicine for Injury Recovery?

Functional medicine looks beyond symptoms and imaging to uncover why your body is still struggling.
At JRM Nurse Consultants, I take a whole-person approach. That includes:

  • Reviewing your sleep, stress, and nutrition
  • Looking at nerve health and inflammatory patterns
  • Understanding how trauma, hormones, and gut health affect your healing

Whether it’s a teen injured at work, a nurse hurt on the job, or a parent still exhausted after being cleared—if you’re not getting answers, this approach is for you.

The Good News: You’re Not Stuck

You don’t have to live in chronic pain, even if the system has discharged you.
You don’t have to wait until things get worse to seek help.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Ready to Be Heard?

I offer a $25 Functional Recovery Assessment to help you finally feel seen and supported.
In this one-on-one session, we’ll talk about your injury, your symptoms, and your healing goals. Then I’ll outline how we can work together to rebuild strength, reduce pain, and restore function—naturally.
