How Functional Medicine Works
Our Process
Not Sure Where to Start?
Answer a few questions, and we will show you which treatments actually fit your concerns.
It takes about 2 minutes.
Why Choose Philly
Wellness Center
Why clients love us.
Comprehensive panels assess hormones, thyroid, inflammatory markers, metabolic function, and gut health, then inform your treatment plan.
Hormones, weight, peptides, IV therapy, and aesthetics happen under the same roof, so nobody hands you a referral and hopes the next office reads the chart.
What Brings People to Our Wellness Center
The treatments that address your concerns
Low Energy
Fatigue that sleep does not fix usually traces to hormones, thyroid, inflammation, or metabolic function.
Menopause
Hot flashes, sleep loss, weight changes, and mood shifts, treated based on lab work instead of age.
Erectile Dysfunction
Discreet evaluation and treatment, including hormone optimization and regenerative options that support circulation and tissue health.
Wrinkles
Neuromodulators and fillers soften lines. A clinician explains what each one does.
Hair Loss
Restoration approaches that address the scalp, hormones, and nutrient gaps driving hair thinning.
Sagging Skin
Collagen-stimulating treatments including microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift without surgery.
Skin Texture & Pores
Resurfacing and medical-grade skincare improve tone, smooth texture, and reduce visible pore size.
Pelvic Floor Weakness
Non-surgical strengthening for leaks, urgency, and the changes that follow childbirth and menopause.
Low Libido
Hormone evaluation and treatment for loss of desire that has a measurable cause.
How the Body Connects
Our approach identifies and treats problems that standard workups leave open.
Systems, Not Silos
The body functions as a connected network. Thyroid, gut, and hormones communicate constantly, which is why isolated treatment often stalls.
Biochemistry First
Symptoms result from measurable changes in your biochemistry. Correct the change, and the symptoms tend to ease.
Hormones and Metabolism
Weight gain is a hormonal event. Resistance to weight loss usually traces to hormones, inflammation, gut health, or metabolic dysfunction.
The Gut Connection
Digestion influences immunity, mood, and energy. Clients who cannot tolerate semaglutide almost always have a gut issue underneath.
Client Feedback on Functional Medicine
Frequently Asked Questions
Coverage varies, and most clients pay for functional medicine care out of pocket. Some lab work may be billable through your insurance. We will tell you what to expect before we order any labs.
Your primary care provider manages diagnoses. We further investigate why the diagnosis appeared, using longer visits and broader lab panels to find the root cause.
That depends on what your labs show and what we are correcting. Energy and sleep often improve first, with lab markers following over subsequent months.
Yes. Every plan for functional medicine in Philadelphia at Philly Wellness Center starts with a consultation. In many cases, treatment can begin the same day.
The Longer Explanation
Functional medicine looks at how you feel, what you’ve been through, and where you are in life. These questions, combined with lab work, help us pinpoint the “why” behind your symptoms and concerns.
What Our Approach Involves
Dr. Catie Harris believes functional medicine in Philadelphia is a systems-based model. She treats the body as a connected network instead of a set of organs divided by specialty, and identifies how one underlying change can produce several symptoms. That framework is how fatigue, digestion, and mood can share a single cause. Dr. Catie Harris built her practice on it after 25 years of struggling with standard solutions.
What We Test
Comprehensive panels are the backbone of our care. Testing gets read in full with the results explained. Anyone searching for functional medicine in Philadelphia is usually looking for exactly this: somebody who will run the panel and then explain its meaning.
What Changes First
Energy and sleep usually improve first to hormone and inflammation correction. Weight often improves last, particularly when hormonal imbalance, inflammation, poor gut health, or metabolic dysfunction have been holding it in place. Lab markers confirm what you are already feeling, and the plan adjusts as needed at every follow-up.
How Functional Medicine Fits With Your Care
Functional medicine works alongside the care you already have. We are not replacing your primary care provider, your endocrinologist, or your prescriptions. We investigate the layer underneath, then share findings so everyone treating you is reading the same information. Clients often bring our lab work back to their primary care physicians.
Who Functional Medicine Is For
Adults who are tired of “normal” results and unresolved symptoms. Women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Men who came in for pain and discovered their labs had more to say. Anyone managing thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, digestive disorders, or cognitive concerns who wants the cause found rather than the symptom quieted can expect detail-oriented, comprehensive care through functional medicine in Philadelphia with Dr. Catie Harris.
