Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about working with Steadfast Functional Medicine

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a root-cause approach to care. Instead of just managing symptoms, it looks at how your genetics, lifestyle, environment, and nutrition are influencing your health. We use this big-picture view to design a personalized healing plan for your body, mind, and soul.

What conditions do you help with?

We help with a wide range of concerns, including:
• Chronic fatigue and burnout
• Hormone or thyroid imbalances
• Digestive issues (IBS, bloating, constipation, etc.)
• Autoimmune patterns and chronic inflammation
• Anxiety, mood changes, and stress-related symptoms
• Unexplained symptoms that haven’t improved with conventional care

If you feel “off” and haven’t found answers, functional medicine may be a fit.

What happens during the Discovery Call?

This free 20-minute phone call is a simple, no-pressure conversation. Dr. Zika will:
• Listen to your concerns
• Learn your health goals
• Explain what working together looks like
• Help you decide if this is the right next step

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. Zika will connect the dots, explain possible root causes, and map out your personalized care plan.

Do you offer virtual appointments?

Yes.
Follow-up visits can be done virtually or in-person—whatever fits your life best.
Initial consultations are in-person for the most accurate and personalized assessment.

How long will it take to see results?

It varies. Some patients feel better within weeks. For others, healing takes longer—especially if issues are complex or long-standing.
We focus on true healing, not quick fixes.

Do you accept insurance?

We are a cash-based practice.
This allows us to offer longer, more personalized visits without insurance restrictions.

Need reimbursement? We can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance. Coverage varies by plan.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Start by booking a Discovery Call right here on the website.

Once you're a patient, all scheduling is done through Practice Better, our secure patient portal..

What should I bring to my first appointment?

To get the most out of your visit, please bring:
• Recent lab results (if available)
• A list of current medications and supplements
• Completed intake forms via Practice Better
• Notes about symptoms or health patterns you've noticed

The more context we have, the more personalized your care can be.
