Curious about functional medicine but not sure where to start?

Join us next Saturday for an open, educational webinar where you can ask questions and learn what functional medicine really looks like in practice. Whether you’re a current patient, on the waitlist, or simply exploring your options, this is a space for you to get clear, informed answers.

We’ll be covering how we approach root-cause care, what to expect as a patient, and how functional medicine can support your overall health.

Hunger and cravings are largely influenced by blood sugar stability and metabolic signaling.

When blood sugar rises quickly and then drops, the brain sends signals to eat again even if you recently had a meal.
This cycle of spikes and crashes can contribute to frequent hunger, cravings, and energy dips throughout the day.

GLP signaling pathways are part of the body’s system for regulating appetite, satiety, and blood sugar balance.

Researchers continue to study how these pathways influence metabolic health and weight regulation.

Peptides are small chains of amino acids that naturally occur in the body. Their main role is communication.

They act as cell signaling molecules, which means they help cells send instructions to each other about things like repair, inflammation response, metabolism, and recovery.

When people hear the word peptide, they sometimes confuse it with steroids or performance enhancers, but they function very differently. Steroids force hormonal changes, while peptides are studied for their role in supporting existing biological signaling pathways.

Understanding this difference is important as peptides become more widely discussed in modern medicine and wellness.

This post is for educational purposes.

Fat stored around the midsection is known as visceral fat.
Unlike fat under the skin, visceral fat surrounds organs and is metabolically active. That means it influences inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and hormone signaling.

Research has shown that visceral fat is closely tied to growth hormone signaling, metabolic function, and insulin resistance.

Tesamorelin is one compound researchers have studied in relation to growth hormone signaling and abdominal fat metabolism.

Understanding the biology behind visceral fat helps explain why midsection weight can sometimes feel resistant to traditional diet approaches.

It can feel discouraging when you’re putting in effort and still not seeing the results you expect.

Metabolic health isn’t just about diet or exercise, it’s also about how efficiently your body is able to produce and use energy at the cellular level. When that process is supported, your body can function more optimally.

Sometimes the missing piece isn’t more effort, it’s better support.

Book your Metabolic Support IV at Harris Internal and Functional Medicine in Peachtree City to get started.

Dr. Harris didn’t always plan on becoming a physician.

She originally thought she would pursue a career in scientific research. But during college, a professor told her she would make a great doctor, something she had never even considered possible at the time.

After working in a research lab, she realized she wanted something different. One day she started walking into the medical school admissions office downstairs from her lab and asking a simple question every day: what does it take to get into medical school?

That decision changed everything.
Sometimes the path you’re meant for isn’t the one you planned. Learn more about the physicians behind the care at Harris Internal & Functional Medicine.

Sleep is closely connected to the body’s cortisol rhythm, which is your natural stress hormone cycle.

Ideally, cortisol should be highest in the morning to help you wake up and lowest at night to allow deep sleep.

When stress is chronic, this rhythm can become disrupted. That is when people may experience symptoms like:
• waking between 2–4am
• racing thoughts at night
• feeling tired but wired
• midday energy crashes

Understanding how stress hormones influence sleep can help people recognize why rest sometimes feels difficult even when they try good sleep habits.

The immune system is not simply “strong” or “weak.”

It functions through a complex network of signaling pathways that regulate how the body detects threats, responds to infections, and controls inflammation.

Factors like chronic stress, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation can all affect immune resilience.

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a peptide studied in research for its role in immune modulation, meaning helping the immune system maintain balance.

Understanding how immune signaling works can help explain why some people feel run down more often than others.

Nutrition is not only about what you eat. It is also about how well your body absorbs and uses nutrients.

Stress, gut health, medications, inflammation, and lifestyle factors can all affect nutrient status.

Micronutrient testing looks deeper at the levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and fatty acids involved in cellular energy and recovery.

Understanding nutrient status can provide insight into issues like fatigue, immune resilience, brain fog, and recovery.

When your energy feels inconsistent, your mood shifts easily, and brain fog comes and goes, it can feel frustrating trying to figure out what’s actually going on.

For many women, these symptoms can be connected to nutrient gaps that impact how the body supports energy, hydration, and overall balance. When your body has what it needs, everything tends to function more efficiently.

Right now, our Women’s IV is 50% off for a limited time.

If you’ve been feeling off and can’t quite pinpoint why, this is a great place to start.

Standard lab testing is designed to identify disease markers. But many symptoms people experience happen before something shows up as disease.

Fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, and sleep disruption can sometimes stem from issues related to cellular communication, stress physiology, inflammation, or metabolic signaling.

For example, if your body’s signaling pathways for energy production or inflammation control are not functioning efficiently, you can feel “off” even when basic labs appear normal.

This is one reason functional medicine often looks deeper at patterns in the body rather than relying on a single number or marker.

This post is educational and meant to help explain why symptoms sometimes exist even when lab results appear normal.
