Before coming to Functional Medicine of Idaho, I had been dealing with months of unexplained health problems. Now, my stomach issues are nearly gone, I’m sleeping better, and the seasonal allergies I’ve had since childhood are gone. I’m really thankful for Functional Medicine of Idaho’s approach that takes into consideration all parts of life and health.
Functional Medicine of Idaho has changed my life by giving me the information, education and confidence to control my health and wellness. Since being diagnosed with pre-diabetes based on thorough testing at FMI and personal advocacy, I now eat healthier, exercise smarter, reduce stress and avoid toxins. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Like many executives, I’ve lived a life at “full speed”, until the day my body gave out, with literally no energy to do hardly anything. Thanks to the team at Functional Medicine of Idaho, I have changed my diet, improved my sleeping condition, and am on the rebound to a more fully functioning body and a more rewarding lifestyle.
Six months ago, at the age of 47, I suffered a heart attack. While the cardiologist was unable to find a reason for my heart attack, Functional Medicine of Idaho was willing to dig deeper, run extra tests, and do whatever was necessary to find the root cause of my problem. Since then, they have helped me get completely off of the Statin drugs prescribed by the cardiologist. I feel healthier and stronger, and I can’t recommend Functional Medicine of Idaho enough!

Did you know the lining of your gut is only ONE cell thick? ![]()
![]()
Your gut lining works as a filter that determines what should be passed from the digestive tract into the body, and what substances (like toxins, bacteria, and undigested food) should be kept out. ![]()
![]()
Properly digested food is usually absorbed through the cell wall. But stress, toxins, and poor nutrition can cause the tight junctions between cells to loosen, creating a new pathway where undigested food can reach the blood stream. ![]()
![]()
Because your immune system is constantly on guard near the border of your gut, it immediately reacts when unknown particles make their way through the new, loose junctions, causing an inflammatory immune response. ![]()
![]()
This reaction can affect healthy body cells and lead to downstream issues, such as:![]()
• Asthma![]()
• Autoimmune disease![]()
• Chronic fatigue![]()
• Major digestive problems![]()
• Migraines![]()
• Mood disorders![]()
• Food allergies ![]()
• Skin problems![]()
