Functional Medicine in Tampa

A Different Starting Point for Unresolved Symptoms
When Conventional Care Has Not Provided Answers
Many patients come to Wholistic Medical Group after multiple appointments, prescriptions, supplements, diets, or specialist visits. Others have been told that their results look normal even though they still feel unwell. Functional medicine provides a framework for reviewing the complete story and identifying factors that may be connected.
Persistent Symptoms
Concerns continue, return, or shift despite previous care.
Normal Results, Still Unwell
Standard testing has not fully explained your experience.
Multiple Health Concerns
Energy, digestion, sleep, mood, hormones, pain, or skin symptoms overlap.
This visit may be appropriate if:
- You feel rushed or unheard in typical appointments
- You have tried several approaches without lasting progress
- Symptoms affect more than one area of health
- You want a more personalized health roadmap
- You value natural and lifestyle-based options
Understanding the Complete Health Picture
Your health history, previous testing, medications, supplements, nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress, and environmental factors can all provide useful context. Dr. Duke organizes this information, looks for meaningful patterns, and helps determine which concerns deserve attention first.
Detailed History
Review symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, and how your health has changed over time.
S.E.N.S.E. Factors
Consider Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition, Stress, and Environmental influences.
Connected Patterns
Examine how digestive, hormonal, energy, pain, mood, and sleep concerns may overlap.
Your assessment may consider:
- Your complete symptom timeline
- Relevant labs, imaging, and specialist reports
- Medications, supplements, and previous responses
- Daily routines and lifestyle factors
- Your most important health goals
A Personalized Roadmap Forward
After reviewing the full picture, Dr. Duke discusses priorities and recommendations suited to your situation. The plan may include nutritional guidance, lifestyle changes, targeted supplementation, natural therapies, physical medicine services, or collaboration with other providers when appropriate.
Clear Priorities
Identify what appears most important to address first.
Practical Recommendations
Create steps that fit your history, needs, and goals.
Ongoing Evaluation
Adjust recommendations over time based on progress and new information.
CARE OPTIONS:
- 60-minute in-person initial appointment with Dr. Duke
- Free 15-minute phone consultation if you would like to talk first
- Telehealth visits available
Who Functional Medicine May Help
Functional medicine is often sought by people with persistent symptoms that affect daily life or involve several areas of health. The purpose of the first visit is to understand the pattern, review what has already been tried, and determine appropriate next steps.
Long-Term Concerns
Symptoms have continued or returned over time.
Overlapping Issues
Several concerns may be occurring together.
Limited Progress
Previous care has not produced the clarity you want.
Common experiences:
- Fatigue or low energy
- Digestive complaints
- Sleep problems
- Hormonal or metabolic concerns
- Pain, headaches, skin, or mood symptoms
Normal or inconclusive results do not make your symptoms less real. A longer appointment creates space to review the timeline, look at relevant records in context, and discuss possible next steps without assuming that one test result tells the entire story.
Your Experience Matters
Describe how symptoms affect your routine and quality of life.
Records in Context
Review useful results alongside history and daily patterns.
Next-Step Planning
Decide what information, support, or referrals may be appropriate.
Common experiences:
- Symptoms without a clear explanation
- Results that do not match how you feel
- Repeated short appointments
- Conflicting recommendations
- Desire for a more complete review
Health concerns do not always stay in one category. Digestion, energy, sleep, stress, hormones, pain, and mood may influence one another. Dr. Duke uses a whole-person framework to organize these concerns and avoid treating each symptom as an unrelated problem.
Body Systems Together
Review connections instead of isolating each complaint.
Lifestyle Context
Consider sleep, nutrition, activity, stress, and environment.
Personal Priorities
Focus the plan on what matters most to you.
Common experiences:
- Digestive and energy concerns
- Sleep and stress patterns
- Hormonal and metabolic symptoms
- Pain and inflammation concerns
- Mood, focus, or brain fog complaints
