What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that aims to identify and address the root causes of health issues, rather than merely treating the symptoms. This model of care focuses on reversing illness, promoting health, and optimizing bodily function by addressing the underlying causes, symptoms, and imbalances within the interconnected biological networks of the body. By removing triggers of disease and providing key inputs, functional medicine works to restore and optimize health.
The ultimate goal of functional medicine is to restore balance within the body and
improve long-term well-being, fostering a more sustainable, personalized approach
to health.

Do you take insurance?
Freedom Functional Medicine does not accept any insurance, including Medicare or Medicaid.
Many healthcare providers have moved away from accepting insurance due to the increasing frustration of having insurance companies dictate the care they are able to provide. In the traditional insurance model, every patient encounter must be submitted as a billing claim for the provider to get paid, and they only receive a small portion of the payment. To make ends meet, providers often have to see 3,000 patients or more each year, averaging 30-40 patient visits per day. This is required just to cover the costs of running an office and earning a sustainable income.
The insurance system limits the type of care patients receive. Providers are restricted to addressing only the issues that are directly related to specific care visits. Often times, insurance companies dictate labs that may be drawn and will not cover necessary labs needed to make a diagnosis that aligns in the functional medicine space.
Can I purchase peptides through FFM?
No. Peptides are not sold over the counter or available for direct purchase through FFM.
If peptide therapy is appropriate for your individual medical needs, it may be prescribed only after an in-office consultation and medical evaluation with our provider, Paula McCurry. During your visit, we’ll review your medical history, current health concerns, treatment goals, and determine whether peptide therapy is a safe and appropriate option for you.
Because peptide therapy is individualized, not every patient is a candidate, and prescriptions are provided only when clinically appropriate.
