Root-Cause Healing for Women's Health, Hormones and More

At Functional Medicine of Tennessee, we specialize in uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface—so you can feel like yourself again. Whether you’re navigating stubborn weight, hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or gut concerns, we’ll create a personalized plan that supports true healing.

Women’s Hormones

If you feel like you’re “not quite yourself” lately—low energy, mood swings, or disrupted sleep—you’re not alone.

We help restore hormonal balance with:

  • Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) using plant-based, body-identical hormones

  • A natural, holistic approach using nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and targeted supplements

  • Personalized care based on advanced hormone testing

Thyroid Optimization

Still feeling exhausted, foggy, or gaining weight even though your labs are “normal”? It might be your thyroid.

We offer support for hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and thyroid resistance with:

  • Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) using plant-based, body-identical hormones (when needed)

  • Custom nutrition and lifestyle protocols

  • Advanced testing to uncover what traditional labs might miss

Prescription & Holistic Weight Loss

If you’ve tried everything but the weight still won’t budge, we dig deeper to find out why.

You can choose the approach that fits you best:

  • Prescription weight loss options, including injections, paired with medical oversight

  • A holistic metabolic reset using functional nutrition, lifestyle coaching, and supplement support

  • Root-cause evaluation of insulin resistance, inflammation, hormone imbalance & more

Gut & Digestive Health

Your gut is the gateway to your health. If you’re dealing with bloating, IBS, inflammation, or food sensitivities, we get to the root of what’s throwing your system off.

  • Personalized gut healing protocols

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition & lifestyle guidance

  • Functional testing to assess microbiome, food triggers, and digestion

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.
