Because health isn’t just about labs and supplements—it’s about moving your body in ways that make it strong, resilient, and happy.

At a functional health office, personal training isn’t just an add-on; it’s a key part of helping you achieve real results. We know that exercise affects hormones, gut health, metabolism, mood, and sleep. By offering personal training alongside our other services, we can create a holistic plan that actually works for your body—rather than throwing a one-size-fits-all program at you.

Plus, we like to keep it fun and safe. That means personalized workouts that fit your lifestyle, goals, and abilities—not workouts that leave you feeling defeated. It’s all about supporting long-term health, not short-term trends.

Because health isn’t just about taking a pill or checking a box—it’s about how you fuel your body and move it every day. Nutrition and fitness are the cornerstones of long-term wellness, hormone balance, gut health, and even mental clarity.

By including both in every package, we make sure your care is comprehensive, personalized, and effective. It’s not just about temporary fixes; it’s about creating lasting results that actually stick. Think of it as the ultimate tag team: the right foods and the right movement, working together to support your goals.

Skipping nutrition or fitness is like trying to drive a car with half a tank—it might work for a little while, but you’re not going to get very far. We’re here to help you go the distance.

A lot depends on you—your goals, your current health, and the conversations we have along the way. Our nutrition and fitness expert, Nichole, focuses on functional nutrition and strength-based fitness that’s tailored to your body, not social media trends.

Nichole often starts with elimination diets to help you discover which foods support your energy and which may be causing pain, fatigue, inflammation, or metabolic issues. This isn’t about fads or TikTok advice—it’s about giving you the knowledge to make choices that work for your life.

On the fitness side, Nichole brings a background in CrossFit and Olympic lifting, and is a National Strength and Conditioning Association certified personal trainer. Science shows women thrive with strength training and high-intensity exercise, and that’s the ultimate goal—but she knows many women aren’t ready to jump in right away. That’s why she starts low and slow, building your strength, confidence, and resilience in a way that’s gentle on your mind, body, and emotions.

In short: expect a personalized plan that’s smart, science-backed, and sustainable—designed to help you feel stronger, healthier, and empowered.

During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen changes accelerate the loss of muscle and bone tissue. Progressive resistance training—lifting weights that feel challenging by the last few repetitions—helps preserve and build muscle, support bone density, improve glucose control, and maintain metabolic health. The goal is not simply to stay active; it is to provide enough stimulus for the body to adapt and remain strong and resilient.

Walking is excellent for overall health and should absolutely be part of an active lifestyle. However, for many midlife women, walking alone is not enough to prevent age-related muscle loss, bone loss, and metabolic decline. A well-rounded exercise plan should also include strength training and some higher-intensity cardiovascular exercise to help preserve muscle, maintain bone density, and support long-term health.

For most healthy women, properly programmed high-intensity exercise is not harmful to hormones. In fact, it can improve cardiovascular fitness, insulin sensitivity, and overall metabolic health. The key is balancing training with adequate recovery, sleep, nutrition, and stress management. Exercise should always be tailored to the individual, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or existing health concerns.

Not at all. Group fitness classes can provide motivation, consistency, and a sense of community. However, they may not provide enough resistance or progressive overload to build and maintain muscle and bone density on their own. The best approach is often to continue enjoying your favorite classes while adding dedicated strength-training sessions that challenge your muscles and support healthy aging.

Yes. Our team can help evaluate your metabolic, hormonal, and overall health picture to determine whether your current exercise routine is supporting your goals. We can provide guidance on strength training, recovery, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies to help you build muscle, support bone health, improve metabolic function, and feel stronger as you age.

A functional women’s health clinic looks at you as a whole person — not just one symptom at a time. What truly sets us apart is how we blended medical care, lifestyle support, and community into one seamless program that helps women feel better for life, not just for a moment.

We’re built around three pillars of health:

Physical health: We combine integrative medicine — like advanced testing, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), GLP‑1 support, vitamin injections, and IV therapy — with personalized plans that make sense for your body and goals.

Mental health: We partner with The Journey Within, an outpatient psychiatry clinic offering compassionate psychiatric care, medication management, specialized therapies (like CBT, DBT, IFS, and ketamine‑assisted therapy), and individualized support to help you navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.

Social health: Because connection matters, we host community events, classes, and support opportunities — check our events calendar and sign up for something that inspires you. Being part of a supportive group makes health changes feel less like a chore and more like a movement. Other clinics might treat one piece of the puzzle. We help you thrive across all three — body, mind, and community — because lasting health doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

We do not accept insurance. Our practice is intentionally cash-pay so we can focus on personalized, root-cause care rather than insurance-driven limitations. Unfortunately, the traditional insurance model often rewards volume and short visits—not long-term healing. That said, many insurance plans will cover the lab tests we order. When labs are needed, we provide you with the lab order, and you’ll work directly with the lab to determine what your insurance will or will not cover. You will pay the lab and present your insurance card to them—not to us. All consultations, treatments, and services provided by our clinic are cash pay. If you choose to submit anything to your insurance for possible reimbursement, that process is entirely up to you and your insurance provider.

Yes! Most of our services are eligible for payment using HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds. We recommend checking with your plan administrator if you have specific questions about eligibility, but many clients successfully use their HSA/FSA cards for care with us.
