What Patients Say About Functional Medicine at Aervita
Functional Medicine in Edina: Frequently Asked Questions
Functional medicine is a root-cause framework: instead of naming a symptom and matching it to a prescription, it asks why the symptom exists. Detailed history, advanced lab testing, and a systems view of the body, digestion, hormones, inflammation, stress, come together into a personalized plan. At Aervita, functional medicine is doctor-led and grounded in evidence, not trends.
Conventional care excels at acute problems and diagnosed disease. Functional medicine adds a deeper investigative layer for the gray zone in between, when labs are “normal” but you feel anything but. The two are complements, not rivals: we regularly coordinate with our patients’ physicians, and we refer out whenever conventional care should lead.
More thorough panels than a routine physical, depending on your situation, that may include advanced blood chemistry, hormone and thyroid panels, gut health testing, and inflammatory markers. Every test is chosen for a reason your doctor explains up front, along with its cost, before anything is ordered.
You start with the $84 Initial Health Assessment, 40 minutes with a doctor, covering your history, goals, and whether functional medicine is actually the right tool for you. If it is, you leave with a testing plan and a clear picture of next steps. If it is not, we tell you that plainly.
Meaningful change in body systems takes months, not days. Most functional medicine plans run in phases: testing and findings first, then a focused protocol, then re-testing to verify what moved. You will always know which phase you are in and what would mark it complete.
Advanced testing and extended doctor time are typically outside what insurance reimburses, so Aervita operates cash-pay with transparent pricing. Many patients apply HSA/FSA funds where eligible, and we provide itemized documentation on request.
Yes, and it must. Your doctor reviews every medication and supplement you take before recommending anything, and coordinates with your prescribing physician where appropriate. Nothing in a functional medicine plan should ever surprise the rest of your care team.

Reading Your Results Together
The moment that makes functional medicine click for most patients is the results review. Instead of a portal notification and a one-line “all normal,” you sit down with your doctor and walk through the numbers, what each marker measures, where yours sit against optimal rather than merely acceptable ranges, and how the pattern across systems explains what you have been feeling. Patients routinely tell us it is the first time anyone has explained their own labs to them.
From that conversation comes a written plan with priorities in order: what we address first and why, which changes are lifestyle versus supplement versus therapy, and what the re-test in a few months needs to show for the plan to be called a success. You leave knowing the reasoning, not just the instructions, because a plan you understand is a plan you will actually follow.
