At Well Humans, we believe true healing begins with understanding the root causes of your symptoms—not just masking them. Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying imbalances that contribute to chronic illness. Unlike conventional care, which often stops at diagnosis and symptom suppression, functional medicine asks deeper questions: Why is this happening? and What can we do to restore balance? As a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC), and FDN-P, Carla Alpert guides clients through a highly personalized process to uncover and heal what’s really driving their health challenges.
For anyone asking, “Does functional medicine work?” the answer is rooted in both clinical outcomes and client transformation. By combining advanced functional lab testing with individualized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement protocols, we’ve helped people reduce or eliminate persistent symptoms—ranging from gut issues and fatigue to hormone imbalance and mood disorders. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s a partnership rooted in data, accountability, and a whole-person view of health. Our clients are often people who’ve seen multiple doctors and still don’t have answers. At Well Humans, we don’t just provide a plan—we provide empowerment, education, and sustainable change.
A major focus of our work at Well Humans is digestive health, because the gut is central to nearly every other system in the body. Many of our clients arrive with questions about how to improve gut health, and functional medicine gives us a powerful framework to do just that. Through comprehensive testing for gut pathogens, microbiome balance, leaky gut, food sensitivities, and more, we can pinpoint the real issues behind symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and even anxiety or brain fog. From there, we develop a targeted healing plan that supports both short-term relief and long-term wellness.
Whether you’re navigating unexplained symptoms, searching for answers your doctor hasn’t provided, or simply want to optimize your energy and vitality, functional medicine offers a roadmap. At Well Humans, we’re here to walk it with you—step by step. If you’re ready to restore your health from the inside out, understand what your body is trying to tell you, and get personalized support tailored to your unique biochemistry, we invite you to explore the possibilities of functional medicine. Healing is possible, and it starts with asking the right questions.
