Interest in functional and integrative medicine has grown considerably in recent years. According to SNS Insider, the U.S. complementary and alternative medicine market was valued at approximately $29 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $144 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of more than 22%. Analysts point to rising rates of chronic illness, growing consumer demand for preventive care, and a broader shift toward personalized treatment approaches as key drivers of that growth.
Unlike conventional medicine, which typically focuses on diagnosing and treating disease after symptoms appear, functional medicine emphasizes prevention and identifying the root causes of chronic health concerns. The approach considers how genetics, nutrition, environment, lifestyle, and other factors interact to influence overall health, to develop personalized care plans that support long-term well-being.
At Poe Holistic Health and Wellness, practitioners conduct detailed evaluations that include comprehensive health histories, functional health laboratory testing, and in-depth assessments to create individualized treatment plans. Initial consultations may last up to 60 minutes, giving practitioners time to review current symptoms, medical history, lifestyle habits, and personal wellness goals.
Functional medicine consultations at Poe Holistic Health and Wellness are led by Dr. Kristen Poe, whose credentials include a PhD in Alternative Medicine, a Doctorate in Naprapathic Medicine, and certification as a Board-Certified Sexologist. As a Functional Medicine Consultant and Naprapathic Bodyworker, Dr. Poe works with patients to develop individualized wellness plans based on their health history, laboratory findings, and personal objectives. "Functional medicine looks beyond symptom management to better understand the factors influencing a person's health," a Poe Holistic Health and Wellness spokesperson said. "By taking the time to examine lifestyle, nutrition, stress, and other contributing factors, we can develop individualized strategies that support long-term wellness."
Personalized care plans may include dietary modifications to address nutritional deficiencies and support gut health, targeted supplementation based on identified needs, stress management techniques, and lifestyle recommendations involving sleep, exercise, and daily habits. The practice also evaluates factors related to hormone balance, inflammation, energy production, nervous system regulation, and digestive health, recognizing that each patient's health profile and life circumstances are unique.
The practice operates on a private-pay model, which allows for longer consultation times and individualized attention that may not be available in traditional appointment settings.
