HEALING ISN’T ABOUT CHASING SYMPTOMS
Most people struggling with chronic health concerns have already tried countless supplements, diets, appointments, and quick fixes — yet still feel stuck.
One of the biggest reasons people struggle to make lasting progress is because the body is often being pushed into deeper healing before its foundational systems are fully supported.
At Function First Health, we take a structured, whole-body approach focused on supporting the body in the right order — beginning with foundational systems such as drainage pathways, digestion, gut health, nervous system balance, and lifestyle support before moving into deeper detoxification and long-term wellness optimization.
While every individual is unique, we believe healing does not need to feel chaotic or overwhelming. Our goal is to provide personalized wellness guidance within a thoughtful, structured framework designed to support sustainable long-term healing.
Using a combination of health history, symptoms, nutrigenomics, lifestyle factors, functional wellness principles, optional advanced testing when appropriate, and supportive monitoring tools, we work together to create a realistic and individualized path forward.
HOW WOULD IT FEEL TO:
Enjoy meals without constantly worrying about bloating, discomfort, or where the nearest restroom might be?
Wake up with more energy and resilience instead of dragging yourself through the day exhausted?
Finally understand what your body needs instead of feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and endless guesswork?
Support your body through a structured, sustainable approach to healing rather than jumping from one quick fix to another?
Experience more balanced energy, mood, focus, and overall well-being?
Better understand how your genetics, lifestyle, stress, environment, and nutrition may be influencing your health?
Feel supported by someone who listens, looks at the bigger picture, and helps guide you through the healing process thoughtfully?
Feel more confident and empowered in your ability to support your long-term wellness?

ABOUT KELLY
I understand what it feels like to struggle with ongoing health concerns and not feel like yourself.
As a child, I dealt with chronic digestive issues, and later in adulthood I experienced persistent fatigue, joint pain, unexplained weight changes, and other frustrating symptoms that left me searching for answers. After a difficult recovery from COVID in 2021, I knew I needed to approach my health differently.
Discovering functional wellness principles and nutrigenomics helped me better understand my body in a way that finally made sense. That experience ultimately sparked my passion for helping others better understand their own health and support their bodies through a more thoughtful, foundational approach to healing.
With over 18 years of experience as an intensive care nurse and advanced training in functional medicine and genomics, I bring together both conventional and holistic perspectives to help guide clients through a wide range of health concerns using a realistic, individualized approach.

If you are interested in working together and would like to discuss whether virtual or in-person support may be the best fit, you may schedule a Strategy Call here to learn more.
-
Yes. Virtual consultations are available to individuals residing in many U.S. states through the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), which allows Function First Health to provide wellness consultations across participating compact states.
At this time, consultations are not available to residents physically located in certain non-compact states due to state licensing regulations.
Michigan residents may currently work with Function First Health only while physically located in Ohio at the time of the consultation, whether virtually or in person.
If you are unsure whether your state is eligible, please schedule a Strategy Call here or reach out prior to booking.
-
While having an established Primary Care Provider is strongly encouraged, it is not always required to work with Function First Health.
Function First Health does not provide acute, emergency, or primary medical care services. Instead, consultations are focused on preventative, nutritional, and functional wellness support designed to help address underlying factors contributing to chronic health concerns.
Clients are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with a licensed medical provider for acute medical needs, routine medical care, medications, and emergencies. Referrals to primary care providers or specialists may be recommended when appropriate.
-
Please complete any intake forms, questionnaires, consent documents, and upload any recent labs or testing (completed within the past year) through the secure client portal prior to your appointment.
While the initial paperwork may feel detailed, your responses provide important insight into your history, symptoms, lifestyle, and overall wellness journey. This allows your consultation time to be used more thoughtfully and efficiently.
All information submitted through the portal is kept strictly confidential and HIPAA compliant.
-
Consultations must be canceled or rescheduled at least 48 hours in advance. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to forfeiture of the consultation fee.
This policy helps protect dedicated appointment times and allows availability for other clients seeking support. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
-
A 10-minute grace period is allowed for both virtual and in-person consultations. If you arrive within this timeframe, your consultation will still take place but will end at the originally scheduled time out of respect for other clients’ appointments.
Late arrivals are not eligible for partial refunds or extended appointment times.
Financial
-
Function First Health does not participate with insurance carriers, and all services are self-pay.
To help make care more accessible, payment plans are available on all wellness programs. Clients also receive access to practitioner supplement dispensaries with discounted pricing, as well as access to optional labs and advanced wellness testing at self-pay rates when appropriate.
-
In many cases, consultations and eligible lab services may be paid for using a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). However, coverage and eligibility can vary depending on your specific plan.
Clients are encouraged to check directly with their HSA/FSA provider regarding eligible expenses and whether additional documentation may be required.
-
Due to current Medicare regulations and the structure of the Function First Health wellness consulting model, services may not be available to individuals actively enrolled in Medicare.
If you have questions regarding eligibility, please reach out prior to booking.
-
Program pricing does not include the cost of optional labs, advanced wellness testing, or recommended supplements unless otherwise specifically stated within the program details.
Testing and supplement recommendations are always individualized based on your goals, symptoms, health history, and budget.
General
-
Function First Health commonly works with individuals experiencing concerns related to digestion and gut health, fatigue, inflammation, hormone imbalance, brain fog, immune and autoimmune-related symptoms, detoxification support, stress and nervous system balance, nutrition, and overall foundational wellness.
Consultations may also incorporate nutrigenomics and lifestyle factors to help create a more personalized and individualized wellness approach.
-
Yes. Function First Health does work with children using a supportive, individualized wellness approach.
Because Function First Health does not provide acute, emergency, or primary medical care services, children are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with a Pediatrician or Primary Care Provider for routine medical care, medications, illnesses, emergencies, and acute concerns.
-
Function First Health does work with individuals navigating cancer or cancer recovery as part of a supportive, integrative wellness approach. However, consultations are not intended to replace the care, treatment recommendations, or medical guidance of an oncologist or oncology team.
Support may focus on areas such as nutrition, lifestyle factors, foundational wellness support, stress management, detoxification support, and overall quality of life during or after treatment, including periods of remission. Collaboration with the client’s medical team is encouraged when appropriate.
-
No. Testing is not always required, and recommendations are individualized based on your goals, symptoms, health history, budget, and overall needs.
Some individuals choose to pursue advanced wellness testing to gain additional insight into potential contributing factors related to digestion, nutrient status, toxins, hormones, lifestyle factors, or overall health patterns. Nutrigenomic testing is commonly recommended as part of the wellness programs to help provide more personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
If you have completed any labs or testing within the past year, you are encouraged to upload those results to the secure client portal prior to your consultation for review.
-
Not necessarily. Recommendations are highly individualized and based on your goals, symptoms, health history, testing, lifestyle factors, and overall tolerance.
The goal is not to create unnecessary overwhelm, but rather to thoughtfully prioritize foundational areas of support and make realistic, sustainable recommendations whenever possible.
-
Healing is a gradual and highly individualized process, and results can vary from person to person depending on overall health history, lifestyle factors, stress levels, consistency, and the complexity of symptoms involved.
Some individuals notice improvements within the first few weeks, while others may require a slower, more foundational approach over several months. Because many chronic symptoms develop over time, meaningful and lasting change often requires patience, consistency, and ongoing support.
At Function First Health, the goal is to provide a realistic, structured path forward while supporting the body in the right order and helping reduce unnecessary overwhelm throughout the process.
-
Yes. Function First Health is designed to complement — not replace — your existing medical care. Many clients continue working with Primary Care Providers, specialists, therapists, chiropractors, or other healthcare professionals while participating in wellness programs.
Collaboration and communication with your healthcare team is encouraged whenever appropriate.
-
No. Virtual consultations are available to individuals in many U.S. states through secure telehealth appointments, allowing clients to work with Function First Health from the comfort of their home.
In-person consultations may also be available for those local to the Toledo, Ohio area.
