Why Choose Evergreen Longevity & Functional Medicine

Choose Evergreen Longevity for weight management that addresses the 'why' behind your weight struggles, not just the symptoms. Our functional medicine approach identifies and treats the root causes of weight gain, including hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, and nutritional deficiencies that traditional programs often overlook. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, we create truly personalized treatment plans based on your unique biochemistry and health profile.

Our concierge medicine model provides an unparalleled level of personalized attention and accessibility. You'll have direct communication with your healthcare team, extended appointment times, and rapid responses to your concerns. This comprehensive approach, combined with our advanced testing capabilities and focus on root cause resolution, produces more sustainable and effective weight loss results than traditional diet-focused programs.

Insurance & Pricing

As a concierge medicine practice offering functional medicine services, many of our specialized treatments aren't covered by traditional insurance. We provide transparent pricing for all services upfront and offer package deals for comprehensive programs. Some basic lab work and consultations may be partially covered depending on your insurance plan. We accept HSA and FSA payments for eligible services. Our membership model includes unlimited consultations and significant discounts on testing and treatments, making comprehensive care more affordable for committed patients.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your initial appointment prepared with a complete list of current medications, supplements, and previous lab results. We recommend keeping a food and symptom diary for at least a week before your visit to help identify patterns. Be prepared to discuss your complete health history, including seemingly unrelated symptoms that might provide important clues.

During treatment, maintain open communication with our team about any changes in symptoms, energy levels, or side effects from interventions. Follow supplement and dietary protocols consistently, as functional medicine approaches require time and consistency to produce optimal results. We encourage patience as we work together to rebalance your body's systems, understanding that sustainable changes often take several months to fully manifest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes functional medicine different for weight loss?

Functional medicine identifies and treats the underlying causes of weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, or gut dysfunction. Instead of just focusing on calories in and out, we address why your body is storing fat and struggling to lose weight.

How long does it take to see results with functional medicine?

Most patients begin noticing improvements in energy and other symptoms within 4-6 weeks, with significant weight loss typically occurring after 2-3 months. Sustainable results develop over 6-12 months as we restore optimal metabolic function.

What testing do you perform?

We conduct comprehensive panels including hormone testing, nutritional assessments, food sensitivity analysis, gut microbiome evaluation, and metabolic function tests. The specific tests depend on your individual symptoms and health history.

Do you prescribe medications for weight loss?

When appropriate, we may prescribe medications as part of a comprehensive plan. However, our primary focus is on natural interventions, bioidentical hormones, and targeted supplementation to restore your body's natural ability to maintain healthy weight.

What's included in your concierge medicine model?

Our concierge model provides direct access to Dr. Mitchell, extended appointment times, priority scheduling, and comprehensive coordination of your care. You'll have direct communication channels and rapid response to questions or concerns.

Can you help if I've failed other weight loss programs?

Absolutely. Many of our patients come to us after unsuccessful attempts with traditional programs, often because underlying metabolic or hormonal issues weren't addressed. Our functional medicine approach frequently succeeds where other methods have failed.

Do you work with other healthcare providers?

Yes, we coordinate care with your existing healthcare team when beneficial. We often work alongside primary care physicians, specialists, and other practitioners to ensure comprehensive, integrated care.

Is the investment in functional medicine worth it?

While our approach requires a larger initial investment, most patients find it cost-effective long-term because we address root causes rather than managing symptoms indefinitely. The comprehensive nature often eliminates the need for multiple treatments or ongoing interventions.
