"My relief from Autoimmune Symptoms without Harsh Pharmaceuticals.
A Life-Changing experience, I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Functional Medicine of Iowa. After years of battling relentless autoimmune symptoms and enduring the adverse effects of harsh pharmaceuticals, I finally discovered a sanctuary of healing and hope. I was met with compassion, understanding, and a commitment to truly listen to my health concerns. Functional Medicine of Iowa took the time to understand my unique medical history and the intricacies of my autoimmune condition.
Their holistic and patient-centered approach was a breath of fresh air compared to the impersonal and rushed experiences I had previously encountered. The personalized treatment plan devised for me focused on understanding the body that I live in and how that body responds to my environment and lifestyle choices. I was educated about the root causes of my symptoms, (which previously had only been treated with pharmaceuticals), and empowered with the knowledge to weigh the momentary choices that constitute my ‘diet and exercise’.
The combination of functional medicine and evidence-based practices brought a profound transformation in my well-being. Within weeks, I noticed a significant reduction in my symptoms. The chronic fatigue, joint pain, and inflammation that were ever present in my life started to fade away. It was nothing short of miraculous to experience such relief without resorting to harsh pharmaceuticals.
Functional Medicine of Iowa, is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in their patients' health journeys. They foster a nurturing environment where I always felt heard and valued. Their dedication to continuous improvement and staying abreast of the latest advancements in functional medicine reassured me that I was in the best hands possible.
Since working with Functional Medicine of Iowa, I have regained my vitality, energy, and optimism, all thanks to compassionate care built on an understanding of my epigenetics. My quality of life has improved drastically, and I am eternally thankful for their innovative approach to healthcare. If you are struggling with autoimmune symptoms and seeking an alternative to harsh pharmaceuticals, I wholeheartedly recommend Functional Medicine of Iowa. They have given me a new lease on life, and for that, I am forever grateful."

"So very helpful in treating my long covid symptoms"
"Jessica was so very helpful in treating my long covid symptoms. After being told by doctor after doctor that there was nothing that could be done, Jessica listened and wanted to understand exactly the symptoms I was experiencing. She had vast knowledge of how my immune system was wreaking havoc in my body. She gave me specific concrete ways to improve my health including diet changes, sleep changes, supplements, medication, and exercise changes. I couldn't be more grateful for her expertise and genuine help."
