#JaydeWellNest: A Functional Health Center; Integrative Solutions to Achieving your Optimal Health.
Welcome to JAYDEWELLNEST, where we specialize in helping individuals who struggle with digestive concerns such as bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), food sensitivities, and gut imbalances. Rather than simply masking symptoms, our personalized functional medicine approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of your digestive and chronic health challenges.
We work with busy professionals and health-conscious individuals aged 25 and older who may also be experiencing chronic fatigue, unexplained weight gain, poor sleep, skin concerns, and hormonal imbalances—symptoms that often accompany digestive dysfunction and long-term health conditions.
If you’re feeling constantly drained, frustrated by stubborn weight gain, struggling to sleep, or discouraged after being told your labs are “normal” and your symptoms are just part of aging, you’re not alone—and there is another way.
Our holistic, evidence-based care is designed to restore balance at the source, helping you regain energy, support hormonal health, and improve digestion so you can feel like yourself again. We believe in a whole-body approach that not only heals the gut, but supports overall well-being—empowering you to feel your best naturally and live a balanced, vibrant life.
FAQs
How Is Functional Medicine Different From Other Types of Alternative Medicine?
While many alternative approaches exist, Functional Medicine stands out in several key ways: Root-Cause Focus: We aim to identify and eliminate the underlying factors—such as chronic inflammation—rather than simply treating pain or other symptoms. Patient-Centered Care: You are the focus, not just your diagnosis. Comprehensive Evaluation: We consider your physical, emotional, and psychological health, as well as your lifestyle, diet, environment, and past experiences. “Do No Harm” Philosophy: Whenever possible, we use natural, low-risk therapies instead of medications or surgery. Personalized Treatment: No “one-size-fits-all” solutions. Your plan is tailored specifically to your body and needs. Holistic Tools: Treatment may include nutrition, lifestyle interventions, herbal support, and other evidence-based natural therapies. Is Functional Medicine Scientific? Yes. Functional Medicine uses evaluation and treatment methods supported by clinical research published in peer-reviewed medical journals. The field was pioneered by Dr. Jeffrey Bland, a biochemist and former Director of Nutritional Research at the Linus Pauling Institute. His work helped clarify how biochemical and physiological imbalances contribute to disease. Since then, many scientists and clinicians have continued to expand the field.
Is Functional Medicine Covered by Insurance?
Most Functional Medicine services are not covered by insurance. Traditional insurance systems were designed to cover emergency or acute medical care—not extended visits, detailed evaluations, or preventive health strategies. Most primary care appointments last only 7–15 minutes due to insurance restrictions. In contrast, Functional Medicine requires 30 to 60 minutes of one-on-one time to thoroughly understand your history, evaluate contributing factors, and create a personalized plan. While insurance may cover medications or surgery, it typically does not support the extended, root-cause-focused care that Functional Medicine provides. Ultimately, this is your body and your health—and you deserve care that supports long-term wellness.
How Do Functional Medicine Providers Train?
Functional Medicine practitioners study the internal and external factors that contribute to disease. Their training includes identifying these factors and addressing them through targeted lifestyle, nutritional, and herbal interventions.
Can Functional Medicine Replace My Primary Care Provider?
No. Functional Medicine is designed to enhance your health and improve your body’s function, but it does not replace primary medical care. Primary care is still essential—especially for emergency treatment, acute conditions, prescription management, or surgical needs. Ideally, Functional Medicine works alongside your primary care provide
