Functional Medicine Shadow Day - FULL DAY

Functional Medicine Shadow Day at Cultured Wellness

Duration: 8 Hours (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
Cost: $2,000 Full Day

Do you learn best through observation? Are you curious about how a modern, patient-centered functional medicine practice operates behind the scenes? Trying to decide if the Functional Medicine field is right for you? Join us at Cultured Wellness for a shadowing opportunity with one of our experienced Functional Medicine providers. Our clinic days are in-depth, personalized, and focused on root-cause care, offering a comprehensive and realistic learning experience.

During a day of Patient Care Observation, you may observe several of the following:

“The Elite Patient Journey” – Our in-depth consultation process and creation of a comprehensive, root-cause care plan designed to treat the patient as a whole.
Comprehensive Health Histories – How we review symptoms, timelines, lifestyle factors, and long-term health patterns to uncover root causes.
Lab Review & Interpretation – Observe how advanced lab testing is used to guide clinical decisions and track patient progress over time.
Care Plan Development – Learn how personalized plans are created using nutrition, lifestyle shifts, targeted supplementation, and medical therapies when appropriate.
Hormone Optimization – See how providers assess and support hormone balance for both men and women through a functional lens.
Gut Health & Inflammation – Understand how digestive health, microbiome balance, and systemic inflammation impact overall wellness.
Metabolic Health – Learn how we address fatigue, weight resistance, and blood sugar regulation through root-cause investigation.
Peptides & Regenerative Support – Gain exposure to how targeted regenerative therapies may be incorporated into patient care plans.
IV & Injectable Nutrient Therapies – Observe how nutrient therapy is used to support healing, energy, and recovery alongside broader treatment strategies.
Patient Education – Notice how much of Functional Medicine centers around empowering patients to understand their bodies and take ownership of their health.
Outcome-Based Care – Our focus is always on long-term health transformation and sustainable results, rather than temporary symptom relief.
