Are you tired of feeling dismissed or overlooked by traditional healthcare providers? Do you want to feel better—not just suppress symptoms? At GoodLife Medical Center in Memphis, we take a different approach: functional medicine. Led by Dr. Lola, our clinic helps patients address chronic conditions, fatigue, hormone imbalances, and more—by uncovering the why behind their symptoms.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease.
Rather than only treating the symptoms of your condition with medications, functional medicine asks deeper questions like:
What are the environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors driving this condition?
Are there underlying gut, hormone, or immune system imbalances?
How can we build a plan to restore your body’s natural balance?
At GoodLife, we use advanced lab testing, nutritional interventions, and personalized care plans to treat the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
What Can Functional Medicine Help With?
We specialize in helping patients who struggle with unresolved or chronic health conditions such as:
Chronic fatigue or burnout
Digestive issues (IBS, bloating, food intolerances)
Hormonal imbalances (PCOS, thyroid, menopause)
Anxiety and brain fog
Autoimmune conditions
Weight gain and metabolic syndrome
Skin issues, migraines, and sleep disorders
Many of our patients have already seen multiple specialists without answers. Functional medicine offers a fresh perspective and lasting solutions.
What to Expect at GoodLife Medical Center
Your journey begins with a 60-minute new patient visit. This is where we:
Review your complete health history
Discuss lifestyle, stress, sleep, and nutrition
Order labs that go beyond standard checkups (e.g., gut microbiome testing, inflammation markers, food sensitivities)
From there, you’ll receive a tailored roadmap to recovery. This may include:
Specific dietary changes
Natural supplements (available via our PURE line)
Sleep hygiene and stress-reduction strategies
Detox support protocols
Why Functional Medicine Works
Unlike traditional care models, functional medicine:
Encourages long appointments and deep conversation
Looks at how all systems in the body are connected
Empowers you to be a co-creator in your healing journey
It’s a proactive, not reactive approach that helps prevent future health issues before they escalate.
