ABOUT
Functional Medicine of Tennessee
Meet Julie Perry, NP, FMACP
At Functional Medicine of Tennessee, we believe that true healing begins with understanding the root cause of your symptoms—not just masking them.
Hi, I’m Julie Perry, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in functional and integrative medicine. With 25+ years of experience in internal medicine and endocrinology, I help patients reclaim their health by addressing hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, metabolic issues, gut problems, and more.
I know how frustrating it can be to feel dismissed, unheard, or stuck with generic solutions. That’s why I take a personalized, root-cause approach—because you deserve more than one-size-fits-all care.
Why Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-driven approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover the why behind your health concerns. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats issues in isolation, functional medicine considers the interconnectedness of body systems, including hormones, metabolism, gut health, and immune function.
By identifying root causes and addressing lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental factors, functional medicine helps you achieve lasting wellness and improved quality of life.
Mission
To empower Tennessee patients to take control of their health through personalized, root-cause solutions that restore balance and vitality.
Vision
A world where patients no longer settle for temporary fixes or “normal” symptoms, but instead achieve lasting wellness through evidence-based, holistic care.
Purpose
To provide compassionate, individualized functional medicine that uncovers the underlying causes of symptoms, giving patients clarity, energy, and confidence in their health journey.
Why Functional Medicine?
If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but still feel exhausted, bloated, anxious, or unlike yourself—you’re not alone.
Functional medicine works differently:
Identifies the “why” behind your symptoms
Looks at your body as an interconnected system
Uses advanced testing to uncover hidden imbalances
Focuses on long-term healing, not quick fixes
By addressing hormones, gut health, metabolism, and inflammation together, we help you achieve lasting wellness, not just temporary relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is all about getting to the root cause of your symptoms instead of just treating them. It takes a personalized, whole-body approach by looking at how your genetics, lifestyle, and environment impact your health—helping you feel and function at your best.
How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?
Instead of simply managing symptoms with medications, functional medicine asks why you're experiencing health issues in the first place. By identifying and addressing imbalances, we focus on healing and restoring your body naturally.
What Conditions Can Functional Medicine Address?
I help patients with a variety of concerns, including resistant weight loss, thyroid issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, digestive problems, metabolic health, and more. If you feel like something is off but haven’t gotten answers, we take a deeper look.
What Can I Expect During a Functional Medicine Consultation?
We’ll start with an in-depth review of your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle to uncover what’s really going on. From there, I’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your needs—whether that’s hormone balancing, nutrition support, or targeted supplements.
What Treatment Approaches Do You Use?
Every plan is unique, but I use a combination of functional lab testing, nutrition and lifestyle changes, stress management, high-quality supplements, and holistic therapies to support healing. The goal is long-term wellness, not just quick fixes.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Everyone’s journey is different, but many patients start feeling better within weeks. Sustainable health changes take time, and I’ll be here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Do you take insurance?
We do not accept insurance, but HSA/FSA funds can be used.
Do you offer in-person visits?
All consultations are done virtually, so you can get expert care from anywhere in Tennessee. Julie Perry, NP, only sees patients who reside in Tennessee.
What if I’ve already tried everything?
Most of our patients come to us after exhausting traditional options. Functional medicine offers a different approach by looking at root causes instead of just symptoms.
Ready to Take Control of Your Health?
You don’t have to keep pushing through symptoms. Healing starts with understanding your body and taking targeted action.
