Functional Medicine Q & A
A functional medicine doctor is trained to identify and address the root causes of chronic illness by looking at the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. Rather than simply managing disease, functional medicine focuses on restoring balance to the body’s systems using individualized, science-based approaches that include nutrition, lifestyle, genetics, environmental influences, family history, and more.
The Institute for Functional Medicine defines Functional Medicine as “a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease.”
Functional medicine is not alternative—it’s integrative, evidence-based, and science-based. It combines the best of conventional medicine with a personalized systems biology approach that seeks to uncover the “why” behind illness. Functional medicine practitioners incorporate advanced testing, traditional and natural therapies to support healing and optimal wellness.
Internal Medicine is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Internists are trained to manage a wide range of complex, chronic conditions and provide comprehensive care for adults across multiple body systems. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Internal Medicine takes a whole-body approach—recognizing that the body’s systems are interconnected and that imbalances in one area can impact others.
Functional Medicine builds upon this foundation but goes even deeper. It takes a systems biology approach to uncover the root causes of disease, often before a diagnosis is made. Functional Medicine practitioners often start with an Internal Medicine background and use advanced testing, personalized protocols, and lifestyle interventions to support healing, resilience, and long-term wellness at the cellular level.

Precision medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that looks at your unique genetics, lifestyle, and environment to guide prevention and treatment. Instead of using a “one-size-fits-all” method, it helps identify what works best for your body.
In functional medicine, we often use tools from precision medicine—like genetic testing and metabolomics (a look at your body’s chemical processes)—to get a clearer picture of your health and create a plan that’s truly tailored to you.

Dr. Shippy devotes about two hours during the initial visit to listen closely, explore your symptoms, and gain a full picture of your health and how you’re feeling—physically, mentally, and emotionally. The more detailed the story, the more insight she can gather to help uncover the root causes and create a personalized path to healing.
Her approach is attentive, engaged, and calming. Because health concerns can be deeply personal and emotional, it’s not uncommon for meaningful conversations to surface emotions. Dr. Shippy welcomes this, creating a supportive environment where patients feel truly heard and cared for.
Her goal is to work collaboratively with each individual to uncover their unique blueprint for optimal health and long-term wellness.
Dr. Shippy doesn’t accept any form of medical insurance or Medicare/Medicaid. However, her clinic and office staff will provide you with an itemized bill that includes ICD-10 and CPT codes necessary to file with your insurance company (Medicare excluded) for reimbursement. You may also use pre-tax dollars from a Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for your consultations.
Dr. Shippy’s rate for new patient appointments is $4,200. Follow-up appointments are $780 per hour. The office accepts cash, checks, and all credit cards. Payment is expected at the time of service.
