Functional Medicine
Functional medicine at Moon Rabbit is a transformative deep dive into your unique health story. We explore your personal and medical history, review lifestyle factors, and begin with an initial lab package to uncover root causes. Each functional medicine appointment includes a follow-up consult to interpret results and chart a personalized course. You will also receive support through targeted intramuscular nutrient injections (such as NAD⁺, Glutathione, or B12) to elevate your wellness journey from day one.
In addition to in-depth functional medicine assessments, we offer specialized packages that include comprehensive lab testing for male-focused health, female-focused health, and micronutrient analysis.

Personalized Care
Care is tailored to each individual, using detailed history, testing, and lifestyle factors to guide recommendations.
Root-Cause Focus
Functional medicine looks beyond symptoms to identify underlying imbalances that may be contributing to ongoing health concerns.
Your first visit begins with a detailed, one-on-one conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and current concerns. We look beyond individual symptoms to understand patterns in sleep, digestion, stress, pain, and energy, as well as how these systems interact.
This comprehensive intake allows us to create a treatment plan that’s informed, intentional, and tailored specifically to you.
Initial Appointment
After engaging in a comprehensive review of your health history, goals, and current concerns, your practitioner will order an in-depth lab panel to better understand underlying patterns and imbalances. Your care also includes two wellness shots for additional nutritional support, along with a follow-up visit to review your lab results in detail and create a personalized plan moving forward. Nutritional and lifestyle counseling are also available.
Treatment
Functional medicine care is most effective when approached as an ongoing process rather than a one-time visit. After your initial assessment and lab review, continued support may include adjustments to nutrition, supplements, lifestyle recommendations, and targeted protocols as your body responds over time.
Follow-up check-ins are typically recommended every 3–6 months to track progress, reassess symptoms, and refine your plan as needed. Re-testing labs is also an option, helping measure shifts in key markers and ensure your care remains aligned with your current health goals.
This continued, responsive approach allows functional medicine to evolve with you—supporting long-term balance, insight, and sustainable wellness.
Continued Support & Aftercare
Personalized Support for Lasting Health
From your first visit through ongoing treatment, care is collaborative, calm, and tailored to you. We take the time to understand what’s happening in your body and adjust treatment as your needs evolve.
The Science Behind Functional Medicine
Functional medicine takes a comprehensive, root-cause approach to health by examining your personal history, lifestyle factors, and underlying physiology. Through in-depth assessments and advanced lab testing, this approach helps identify patterns and imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms, allowing care to be tailored to your unique health story.
Personalized lab analysis provides detailed insight into metabolic function, nutrient status, hormonal balance, and immune health. These findings guide targeted treatment strategies, including customized care plans and specialized testing packages for male health, female health, and micronutrient optimization.
Functional medicine appointments include ongoing support through follow-up consultations and targeted intramuscular nutrient injections such as NAD⁺, Glutathione, and B12. These therapies help support cellular energy, detoxification, and overall resilience, elevating wellness from the inside out and supporting sustainable, long-term health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, functional medicine doctors are licensed to diagnose medical conditions using standard tests and assessments, while also evaluating underlying factors that may contribute to the condition. Their goal is to provide a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan.
Can a functional medicine doctor diagnose?
No. Functional medicine is a systems-based, science-focused approach that can be practiced by medical doctors, naturopaths, or other licensed providers. Naturopathic medicine often emphasizes natural therapies and may avoid conventional medications. While there is overlap, functional medicine is rooted in integrating conventional and holistic strategies.
Is functional medicine the same as naturopathic medicine?
Yes, functional medicine doctors are licensed healthcare providers and can prescribe medications when necessary. They also often incorporate supplements, nutrition plans, and lifestyle interventions as part of a comprehensive treatment approach.
Do functional doctors write prescriptions?
The core belief of functional medicine is that each person’s health is unique, and that optimal wellness comes from addressing the underlying causes of illness. It emphasizes the body’s innate ability to heal itself when given the right support through nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted interventions.
What is the core belief of functional medicine?
While conventional doctors typically focus on diagnosing and treating specific diseases or symptoms, functional medicine doctors emphasize prevention, root causes, and individualized treatment plans. They often spend more time with patients to explore lifestyle, diet, stress, and environmental factors that may contribute to health issues.
What is the difference between a functional medicine doctor and a normal doctor?
A functional medicine doctor is a licensed healthcare practitioner who takes a holistic, systems-based approach to patient care. They focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness, rather than just treating symptoms, by looking at genetics, lifestyle, environment, and nutrition alongside traditional diagnostic methods.
