Functional Medicine

What is Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine at VADARA Med Spa offers a personalized, patient-centered approach focused on uncovering the root causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms. This method looks at how your body’s systems work together, understanding that imbalances in one area can affect your overall health.

Our approach blends the science of conventional medicine with the art of functional wellness, helping you restore balance, optimize function, and achieve long-term vitality. We focus on the connection between genetics, lifestyle, environment, and the nervous system to create an individualized roadmap to better health.

What Makes Functional Medicine Different

Functional Medicine is not about quick fixes or symptom suppression. It’s about understanding why those symptoms exist and working with your body to correct the root cause.

We take a holistic view of your health, use advanced testing that goes beyond standard blood work, and focus on optimizing function, not just reaching “normal” numbers. Each treatment plan is personalized, taking into account your lifestyle, goals, and unique biochemistry.

Our Functional Medicine Process

Your care begins with an in-depth review of your full health history, lifestyle, and environment. We’ll discuss your current symptoms, challenges, and goals to get a complete picture of your wellness.

Next, we may recommend comprehensive diagnostic testing, including hormone, gut, immune, and metabolic panels to better understand your body’s systems.

From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include nutrition and dietary strategies, pharmaceutical-grade nutraceuticals, lifestyle modifications, and nervous system support.

Your plan is dynamic, adjusted as your body responds and your goals evolve. Follow-up visits are used to review progress, refine your plan, and help you stay on track toward optimal wellness.

Meet our wellness provider

Sarah our functional wellness provider at Vadara Med Spa in Mill Creek.

Sarah, ARNP

Hi, I’m Sarah, a Nurse Practitioner and the Functional Medicine provider here at VADARA Med Spa.

I’ve spent nearly a decade in the medical field with experience in obstetrics, oncology, and functional medicine. Through this work, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the human body’s complexity and resilience—and it has shaped the way I view health, time, and what it means to truly live well.

My approach is rooted in connection. I take time to listen to each client’s story, focusing not just on helping people live longer, but helping them live more vibrantly. My goal is to ensure that my patients not only add years to their lives but add life to their years.

I’m especially passionate about women’s health, fertility, and longevity medicine. Whether you’re seeking hormonal balance, digestive healing, or long-term vitality, I’m here to help you uncover the root cause and feel empowered in your body again.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll find me hiking around the Pacific Northwest or exploring the coastline with my husband and our two dogs. I’m so excited to be part of the VADARA Med Spa team and can’t wait to meet you soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Functional Medicine different from traditional medical care?
Traditional care focuses on symptom management. Functional Medicine identifies and addresses the underlying causes, focusing on restoring balance and long-term wellness.

Do I still need my primary care provider?
Yes. Functional Medicine works in addition to your primary care. It does not replace medical care for acute or emergency needs.

How long does it take to see results?
Many patients notice improvements within the first month. Deeper, more complex conditions may require several months of consistent care for lasting results.

Are lab tests required?
Not always. Lab testing is recommended based on your symptoms and goals. Sarah will discuss which tests are most relevant to your situation.

Do supplements play a role in my treatment plan?
Yes, when appropriate. We use high-quality, pharmacy-grade nutraceuticals at clinically effective doses to support your body’s healing process.

Can I text or call Sarah directly?
Yes. As part of your membership, you receive direct access to Sarah’s private line for unlimited calls and texts. This ensures personal, immediate communication without intermediaries or delays.
