Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Steadfast Functional Medicine

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that looks for the root causes of illness rather than just managing symptoms. It considers your genetics, lifestyle, environment, stress, nutrition, and history to create a whole-person healing plan.

What conditions do you help with?

We support patients experiencing:

- Chronic fatigue or burnout

- Hormone and thyroid imbalances

- Digestive issues (IBS, bloating, gas, constipation, etc.)

- Autoimmune concerns

- Anxiety, mood changes, and stress-related symptoms

- Unexplained pain

- Chronic inflammation

- Long-term symptoms no one has been able to figure out

If you feel unwell and haven’t found answers, functional medicine may be a good fit.

What can I expect during my Discovery Call?

The 20-minute Discovery Call is a simple, no-pressure phone conversation.

Dr. Kate will:

- Listen to your main concerns

- Learn about your goals

- Determine whether functional medicine is the right approach

- Explain what working together looks like

This call is to help you feel confident about your next steps.

What happens during the Initial Consultation?

Your first visit is a deep dive into your:

- Health history

- Symptoms

- Lifestyle

- Stress levels

- Previous lab results

- Nutrition and sleep patterns

Dr. Kate will connect the dots, explain possible root causes, and outline the next steps in your care plan.

Do you offer virtual appointments?

Yes.

Follow-up visits can be done virtually or in-person based on your preference.

Initial consultations are done in-person to allow for the most accurate assessment.

How long will it take to see results?

Every patient is unique.

Some feel improvement within weeks, while others require more time depending on the depth of the issue.

Functional medicine focuses on true healing, not quick fixes.

Do you accept insurance?

Steadfast Functional Medicine is a cash-based practice.

This allows for longer, more personalized visits and comprehensive care without insurance limitations.

Upon request, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan.

How do I schedule an appointment?

All appointments are scheduled through Practice Better, a secure patient portal.

You can begin by booking a Discovery Call directly through the website.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring:

- Any recent lab work

- A list of medications and supplements

- Your completed intake forms in Practice Better

- Notes about symptoms or patterns you’ve noticed

The more information you provide, the more personalized your care plan will be.

What makes Steadfast Functional Medicine different?

Dr. Kate combines:

- Conventional medical expertise (MD, board-certified pediatrician)

- Advanced functional medicine training (IFM Certified Practitioner)

- Whole-person, compassionate care

- A commitment to wisdom, science, and integrity

- A grace-filled environment where patients feel truly heard

You’re not just a set of symptoms — you’re a whole person.

What are your care packages?

Steadfast Functional Medicine offers three care packages designed to provide structured, ongoing support.

Patients discuss options during the Initial Consultation so they can choose the package that aligns with their goals and needs.

Do you work with children?

Yes.

Given Dr. Kate’s board certification in pediatrics, she is able to provide functional medicine support for children when appropriate.
