New Frontiers Clinic Services - Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

We know the incredible power of getting to the root cause of symptoms. All of our practitioners excel at digging deep, taking time to understand YOU, uncovering the underlying reasons for symptoms, and optimizing health. This is the heart of Functional Medicine AND behind every single patient encounter. In fact, we’ve proven the power of a fully functional approach to health. We developed the Younger You method – a diet and lifestyle approach designed to optimize DNA methylation through easy, yet specifically targeted, everyday practices such as enjoying epinutrient rich foods, quality sleep, moderate movement and stress management. We’ve been using these principles in our clinic for years and saw the benefits in our patient outcomes. Fast forward a few years to the results of our Younger You clinical trial – our program actually lowered biological age! Our first study showed participants had a 3.23 year biological age reversal in just 8 weeks! And our second case series publication found a 4.60 year biological age reversal.

Powerful, right?

We invite you to visit our clinic (in person or virtually) so we can help optimize your health and get to the root of your health concerns.

If you are new to Functional Medicine, you can expect your first visit will be significantly longer than standard healthcare evaluations. This extra time allows us to take a complete medical, environmental, dietary, lifestyle, and social history, and review past health records. A physical exam may also be performed. We review all of this information to identify potential underlying contributors to your health status, and develop a detailed health timeline. We then map your signs, symptoms, and diagnoses to the functional medicine matrix – a framework that allows us together to identify the root causes of your health concerns and develop your personalized health roadmap.

This roadmap will likely incorporate many facets, including:

Laboratory evaluation
A customized nutritional plan
Supplements and/or appropriate medications
Lifestyle recommendations such as practical sleep, exercise, stress management, and clean living guidelines

Developing a timeline of your life, including your family history, health history, and the significant events which have affected you during your lifetime, and developing a plan, is a collaborative process.

How to Choose The Services You Need

In-person vs Telehealth Appointments

We offer both in-person and telehealth consultations. When working with our physicians, in-person appointments allow us to diagnose and directly treat you. While we don’t take insurance, you may be able to submit costs to insurance for reimbursement and to tax deduct what isn’t covered by insurance.

Telehealth appointments are also available. Although our physicians cannot diagnose or treat you, it is possible to complete a highly detailed investigation, including a history with laboratory analysis, and personalized wellness roadmap. All our nutrition consultations are performed via telehealth.
