Alabama Functional Medicine Our mission at Alabama Functional Medicine is to give you the tools and treatment needed to be the healthiest version of yourself you can be.

At Alabama Functional Medicine, we stay on the cutting edge of technology to put the latest research to work for you. In our practice, we learn as much as we can about you and new technologies to help us do that. We want to really take care of you because we can. Unlike most practices, we offer something different. We suggest some tests that insurance doesn’t cover, because we know smart patients see that their health is worth paying for. People are using their health care dollars as they see fit to care for themselves and their families and we are here to help you make those smart decisions along the way.

There is something powerful about hearing how another person experienced their care.

We are grateful when patients take the time to share their stories. Feedback like this can also be helpful for people in Montgomery, Auburn, and throughout Central Alabama who are researching functional medicine and wondering what to expect.

Every patient and care plan is different, but Alabama Functional Medicine emphasizes personalized, whole-person care that looks beyond symptom management.

Feeling more regulated doesn’t mean you stop having emotions; it often looks like being able to move through a wide range of them instead of getting stuck in one.

You may notice more moments of joy.
Feeling lighter.
Thinking through problems more clearly.
Being able to handle something new without immediately feeling overwhelmed.

You can still experience stress, frustration, sadness, or uncertainty. But there’s more room around it... more ability to respond instead of react.

For many people, the words we hear most are simply:

Less reactive; more at peace.

That’s the kind of shift we’re looking for when we talk about moving from dysregulation toward regulation.

Getting enough sleep and still waking up exhausted?

Sleep duration is only one piece of the fatigue puzzle. When low energy continues even after a full night of sleep, it may be worth looking more closely at what could be contributing to it.

Our latest blog explores possible reasons you may still feel tired after eight hours of sleep and when it may be time to look deeper.

If eight hours still does not feel like enough, read the full blog: https://alabamafunctionalmedicine.com/tired-after-8-hours-sleep-causes-of-fatigue/

What if your body isn’t broken? What if it’s really good at healing, but somewhere along the way you learned not to expect or trust that anymore?

Pain gets normalized, symptoms get explained away, and suddenly you start believing, “This is just how my body is.”

Sometimes that belief becomes its own kind of barrier.

Here's what we know: The body can do incredible things *when it has what it needs.*

Sometimes healing starts with believing that better is actually possible... and not just possible for someone else but for YOU.

If you want to understand how we think about that at Alabama Functional Medicine, Functional Foundations is the place to start.

It’s free, virtual, and designed to help you understand how to look at the body, what to look for, and what your next step could be. We'll see you there!

What if your body is missing something it needs?

That’s where Replenish comes into the Saluxis Method.

Blood work helps us see what essentials may be missing and what your body needs to function the way it was designed.

Think about it...

How well do you function when you keep missing meals? Or when you aren’t getting enough sleep?

Your body is no different. It can't function well if it's not getting what it needs!

If you’re low in something important, like magnesium or omega-3s, your cells aren’t going to work as well as they could.

Replenishing what the body needs can make a big difference in your daily life.

That’s why Replenish is an important part of the Saluxis Method, our advanced approach for guiding each patient through their own path to better health.

If you’re frustrated with hearing that your labs are “normal,” while you still don’t feel like yourself... join us for our next Functional Foundations session. Let's look beyond the basics to better understand what may be going on.

“Because you’re a woman, you’re going to hurt.”

That just never sat right with me...

I kept hearing from women dealing with infertility or period pain and not getting real answers.

They were being told:

“It’s normal.”
“You’re a woman.”
“Some women just don’t get pregnant.”

That bothered me, and it’s a big part of what led me into functional pelvic health.

It became personal for us, too.

My wife and I went through a couple of years of infertility. We thought we were doing everything right, but after making a few changes based on what we found through functional medicine, we went on to have five kids naturally.

That experience reinforced something I already believed:

Pain, infertility, and pelvic symptoms shouldn’t be dismissed as “just part of being a woman.”

Sometimes, we need to ask better questions and look for what may be driving the problem underneath.

That deeper look starts with Functional Foundations.

After patients have been with us for a while, I like to ask about family:

What has your husband noticed?
What has your wife noticed?
What are you able to do again?

Hike. Play. Travel. Enjoy life in ways you couldn’t when you first came in.

Those are the changes I love to see every day in our patients.

Sometimes the biggest sign that your health is changing is that the people around you notice it too.

For those ready to feel more like themselves again and get back to doing the things they love, Functional Foundations is where we start.

It can feel like whack-a-mole with your health... address one problem, deal with a new side effect, then move on to the next.

Functional medicine takes a different approach.

Instead of only treating symptoms, we look for what may be driving them at the cellular level and work toward improving your health as a whole.

Just because you haven’t found the answer yet doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

If you’re tired of chasing symptoms and want a more comprehensive approach to your health, start with Functional Foundations.

One MAJOR part of the Saluxis Method is Release.

And it’s a big part of the process.

We want to release things like:

Toxins.
Negative influences.
Hopelessness.
“I’ll never get better.”
“Nobody ever gets better.”

Because sometimes, before we can move forward, there are things physically, mentally, and environmentally that have to be released.

I can’t imagine practicing the Saluxis Method without it.

If you feel stuck in the same cycle—still struggling, still searching, and starting to wonder if things can actually change—we want to show you a different way.

That’s part of what we introduce in Functional Foundations.

The Saluxis Method is the four-part framework we use to guide patients through their individual journey toward better health. Rather than simply chasing symptoms, it gives us a process for looking at what may be keeping someone stuck and determining what needs to happen next.

And it starts with Release.

Women are told their pain is “in their head”...

But vulvodynia is real.

It can cause severe pain of the v***a from almost no touch at all.

And what makes it even harder is many women suffer for a long time but don’t know what they have.

So when a woman comes in and we can say,

“Yes, you definitely have this problem.”

That matters!

Because then we can start treating what’s actually going on.

We’ve had women go from a 0 to a 100.

So if you’ve been silently suffering, I want to encourage you to talk to us.

There are answers—and understanding what’s driving your symptoms is the first step toward figuring out what to do about them.

That’s exactly where we start in Functional Foundations.

Hey, I’m McWhorter, MD.

In Functional Foundations, we explain how we look at symptoms differently, what may be contributing beneath the surface, and how our approach is designed to help uncover the bigger picture.

If you’ve been dealing with symptoms without clear answers and want to understand what your next step could look like, join us for our next Functional Foundations session.
