Functional Medicine in Sanford, FL
Functional Medicine Foundations Program
12 Weeks of Personalized, Root-Cause Care
Functional medicine is not a one-visit approach. Your initial program gives us time to understand your health history, investigate potential underlying contributors, develop your personalized treatment plan, and make thoughtful adjustments based on how your body responds.
Your Functional Medicine Journey
ASSESS
We begin with a comprehensive 90-minute Functional Medicine Intake. We explore your symptoms, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, medications, supplements, previous testing, and personal health goals.
INVESTIGATE
We review your existing laboratory results and recommend additional testing when it would provide useful information. Once results are available, we meet for a comprehensive 60-minute lab review and connect the findings to your symptoms and clinical priorities.
RESTORE
You receive a personalized treatment plan that may include nutrition, lifestyle, supplement, herbal, stress-management, and integrative therapy recommendations. Three follow-up visits allow us to evaluate your progress, address concerns, and adjust your plan.
MAINTAIN
At the end of the program, we develop your maintenance and next-steps plan. Established functional medicine patients may continue with follow-up appointments as needed.
WHAT YOUR 12-WEEK PROGRAM INCLUDES
• One Comprehensive Functional Medicine Intake
• Review of existing laboratory results and health records
• Initial nutrition and lifestyle roadmap
• Recommendations for additional testing when appropriate
• One Comprehensive Lab Review and Personalized Treatment Plan
• Three 30-minute Functional Medicine Progress Checks

PROGRAM INVESTMENT
Pay in full: $797
Two-payment option: $410 × 2
Laboratory testing, supplements, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, health coaching, and other specialty services are separate and may be recommended when appropriate.
HOW TO BEGIN
Your first step is a complimentary 20-minute phone or video consultation. We will briefly discuss your health concerns, answer your questions, and determine whether the Functional Medicine Foundations Program is the right fit for you.
Functional medicine care at 4 Winds Medicine is available in person in Sanford, Florida, and virtually throughout Florida.
ONGOING FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CARE
After completing the Foundations Program, established patients may schedule 30-minute Functional Medicine Follow-Up visits for $89 as needed. These appointments may be used to review progress, adjust recommendations, discuss supplement tolerance, address new concerns, or plan repeat testing.
Functional medicine services are designed to complement—not replace—care from your primary-care physician or medical specialists.

Whole-Person Functional & Integrative Care
At 4 Winds Medicine, you are treated as a whole person—not simply a diagnosis or collection of symptoms. Dr. Lara Aitken combines functional medicine, nutrition, lifestyle support, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and mind-body care to explore the factors that may be contributing to your health concerns.
AREAS WE MAY ADDRESS
• Digestive and gut-health concerns, including bloating, irregularity, and food sensitivities
• Hormonal and metabolic concerns, including perimenopause, menopause, thyroid patterns, blood-sugar imbalance, and weight challenges
• Fatigue, low energy, poor sleep, and difficulty concentrating
• Chronic inflammation, immune-system concerns, joint discomfort, and recurring symptoms
• Stress, nervous-system dysregulation, and mind-body patterns that may affect well-being
YOUR CARE IS PERSONALIZED
Your recommendations may include therapeutic nutrition, targeted supplements, herbal support, movement, sleep strategies, stress regulation, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, or health coaching when appropriate.
The goal is to give you a realistic plan that helps you understand your body, establish stronger foundations, and make sustainable changes over time.
SUPPORT BETWEEN VISITS
Healing does not stop when you leave the office. You may also explore Dr. Lara’s recommended supplements, nervous-system support tools, and wellness resources to support your plan between appointments.
