Heart health isn’t just about cholesterol. It’s important to talk about the whole picture. Your cardiovascular health is influenced by multiple systems working together, not just your cholesterol numbers.

Other things that influence heart health are:
- Hormones, which help regulate blood pressure and vascular tone.
- Insulin, which plays a major role in inflammation and arterial health.
- Chronic cortisol elevation increases strain on the heart.
- Gut health impacts circulation, inflammation, and nutrient absorption.

Functional medicine takes a root-cause approach to heart health, examining how hormones, metabolism, stress, and the gut are interconnected. Instead of managing one marker in isolation, we focus on restoring balance across the body to support long-term cardiovascular health and resilience.

Modern lifestyles have made vitamin D deficiency far more common than most people realize. We spend more time indoors, rely on sunscreen, work long hours inside, and often live in climates where year-round sun exposure is limited. On top of that, factors like gut health, hormone balance, body composition, and certain medications can affect how well vitamin D is absorbed and utilized in the body.

Vitamin D plays a role in immune function, bone strength, muscle health, inflammation regulation, and hormone signaling. When levels are low, the body may struggle to maintain balance across multiple systems, even if other aspects of health seem “normal.”

Because deficiency is so widespread and often symptomless at first, assessing and supporting vitamin D levels is a key part of preventive and functional health care. Optimal health isn’t just about avoiding illness, it’s about giving the body the foundational nutrients it needs to function at its best.

Vitamin D levels can’t be guessed, testing is the only way to know where you stand!

Health coaching is not about rigid rules, extreme plans, or doing everything perfectly. It is about meeting you where you are and helping you build habits that support long-term health.

Real life is part of the process. Stress, busy schedules, changing energy levels, hormones, and daily responsibilities all influence your health. A health coach helps you navigate these challenges with realistic strategies that adapt to your lifestyle, not work against it.

Health coaching focuses on progress over perfection, consistency over willpower, and personalized support over one-size-fits-all solutions. The goal is sustainable behavior change that supports your physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life.

You do not have to be perfect to make meaningful progress. With the right support, small changes can lead to lasting results.

Join our Mission YOU health coaching program, so we can help you achieve your health goals this year!

Eating the rainbow is one of the simplest ways to support whole-body health.

Different colors in fruits and vegetables provide unique phytonutrients that support heart health, hormone balance, gut health, immune function, brain health, and cellular protection.

-Red foods support cardiovascular health and help reduce inflammation.
-Orange foods provide nutrients essential for immune support and healthy hormone signaling.
-Yellow foods aid digestion and support natural detox pathways.
-Green foods are rich in fiber, magnesium, and folate to support gut health, blood sugar balance, and estrogen metabolism.
-Purple and blue foods protect brain health and support cellular repair through powerful antioxidants.

A diverse, colorful plate helps nourish the microbiome, reduce oxidative stress, and support long-term metabolic health. Aim to include at least three to five different colors at each meal to maximize nutrient intake and support optimal wellness.

Small changes in food choices can have a big impact on energy levels, hormone health, digestion, and overall vitality. Let us help you make sustainable food choices today!

Feeling stressed, wired, or exhausted? Your cortisol may need support, not restriction.
Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone, and when it’s chronically elevated, it can impact sleep, weight, mood, blood sugar, and hormone balance. The good news is that what you eat can help regulate it.

-Balanced meals help stabilize blood sugar
-Protein and healthy fats reduce stress signals
-Magnesium and antioxidants calm the nervous system
-The right carbs prevent cortisol spikes
Skipping meals, under-eating, or cutting carbs can actually increase cortisol, especially in women.

Supporting cortisol isn’t about eating less. It’s about eating strategically.

Let us help you address your cortisol concerns. Call (615) 721-8008 or book online: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/.../cc9xzvcyfrcdiypg0oo5

Testosterone isn’t just a “male hormone.” It plays a critical role in women’s health, energy, and resilience at every stage of life.

Testosterone for women goes beyond libido and helps with the following:
-Supports muscle maintenance and strength
-Protects bone density and long-term skeletal health
-Fuels confidence, motivation, and drive
-Supports a healthy metabolism and fat-to-muscle balance
-Enhances cognitive clarity, focus, and mental sharpness

When testosterone levels are too low, women may experience fatigue, brain fog, low motivation, muscle loss, and metabolic slowdown, even if labs look “normal.”

Hormones work as a team and hormone balance matters.

Is it time to get your hormones checked and balanced?

Your gut is your second brain, and it’s running more of the show than you think.

Your digestive system contains 500+ million neurons, produces 90% of your serotonin, and communicates directly with your brain through the vagus nerve.
That means your gut health plays a major role in mood, anxiety, focus, sleep, immunity, and hormone balance.

When the gut is inflamed or imbalanced, symptoms don’t just stay in the digestive system. They show up as brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, low mood, and hormonal disruption.

-Your gut sends more signals to your brain than your brain sends to your gut
-Inflammation in the gut can impact mental health
-Healing the gut supports emotional, cognitive, and hormonal health

Supporting your gut isn’t just about digestion… it’s about whole-body healing.

Have you noticed mood or energy changes tied to your gut?

If you are ready to address your gut issues with root cause medicine, this is your sign to book your complimentary consultation.

Struggling to lose weight even though you’re “doing everything right”?

It may not be your effort, it may be your hormones.

These 5 hormones quietly control metabolism, hunger, fat storage, and energy.
Ignoring them keeps people stuck, but understanding them changes the game.
This is why we look deeper with Mission YOU at Fork Clinic because sustainable weight loss starts with understanding your hormones.

One of the most important, yet often overlooked, factors in healthy weight loss is protecting lean muscle mass.

For women, especially during perimenopause and menopause, muscle becomes a critical regulator of metabolism, blood sugar, hormone balance, bone density, and long-term independence. As estrogen declines, the body naturally loses muscle more easily, making intentional muscle building and preservation essential, not optional.

Lean muscle supports:
• A higher metabolic rate
• Better insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control
• Stronger bones and joint stability
• Improved energy, strength, and resilience
• Protection against weight regain and metabolic slowdown

At The Fork Clinic, we focus on intentional weight loss strategies that prioritize muscle protection through adequate protein intake, resistance training, recovery, and personalized support. For clients using peptide therapies, including GLP-1s, we are especially mindful of muscle preservation and may incorporate supportive peptides such as 5 Amino 1MQ, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, AOD-9604, and recovery-support peptides when appropriate.

This is not about chasing the scale.
It’s about building a body that stays strong, balanced, and resilient for decades to come.

If you’re ready to approach weight loss with longevity in mind, we’re here to guide you.

Who are we...

We are a small boutique health care clinic. We offer functional medicine by appointment only and community clinic hours as well - often available by walk-in or same day appointment.

Functional medicine is for everyone and its about one on one personalized health care; the provider and the patient are in a partnership and work as a team focused on achieving optimal health. We do this by assessing predispositions for disease or illness and uncovering the root cause of any current health challenges.

The community clinic hours are offered as a service to Leipers Fork and the surrounding communities, because sometimes we cant wait for an appointment we just need to see a provider right now. We recommend appointments for these visits but walk in’s are worked in whenever possible.

We are excited to open the clinic the fall of 2019.
