Functional Medicine

Flow through life more easily with Functional Medicine, a solutions-forward approach to healthcare! Functional medicine is patient-centered, empowering patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of symptoms and disease. It involves a detailed understanding of each patient’s current health status, personal and family history. Personalized treatment plans include diet & lifestyle recommendations as well as in-office services which help patients meet their health goals without the risk of surgery and side effects. FoRM’s Functional Medicine specialists offer a proactive style of healthcare, utilizing natural and scientifically-substantiated methods to provide your body with the greatest potential for long-term wellness and sustained health.

What sets FoRM Health PDX apart from other clinics?

At FoRM Health, we optimize your health and healing through the synergism of functional and regenerative medicine.  Regenerative medicine procedures are powerful, effective and safe, however, one’s capacity to heal is dependent on a healthy foundation. A strained tendon or wrinkled skin will always heal quicker and better when internal imbalances such as hormonal, nutritional, or immunologic are addressed. We aim to help your entire system function better, so you can regenerate faster!

What Functional Medicine services are offered at FoRM?

  • IV Therapy
  • Brain Mapping & Neurofeedback
  • Functional Lab testing
  • Hormone replacement therapy
  • Naturopathic Medicine
  • Acupuncture
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Red Light Therapy

FAQ

What conditions and symptoms can be addressed with Functional Medicine?

Almost any health problem can be helped with Functional Medicine. Identifying and correcting obstacles to health is the first step and can result in tremendous improvements in health, no matter the condition. However, we do not see patients seeking treatment for any cancer-related concerns.

What can I expect from my first Functional Medicine appointment?

The first visit is typically an hour long. During that time the doctor will spend the first half of the appointment listening to your concerns and asking questions to get a complete picture of your health story. The second half of your visit will include an exam (when appropriate) and discussion of an action plan to strategize both short-term and long-term solutions for regaining health.

What type of services and treatments are typical in Functional Medicine?

Initially treatment will focus heavily on lifestyle (sleep, stress management, exercise, etc) and dietary interventions to establish a stronger foundation of health. You will work closely with your doctor to develop health-forward, sustainable routines which work for you. After these adjustments have been made, the focus becomes strengthening weakened systems (eg. supporting the respiratory system when frequent lung infections are the concern) with an integrative approach using natural remedies and procedures. Common treatments include: herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, IV therapy, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, and at times, medications. Eventually, the last goal is to establish routines which maintain health and prevent development of chronic disease. This involves quarterly visits to your FoRM provider to proactively navigate the changing seasons and the evolving needs of our bodies.

How much do Functional Medicine visits cost?

Often, insurance will pay for the Functional Medicine visits at FoRM. In these instances, you will be responsible for the co-pay or co-insurance, which varies from plan to plan. Our providers are in-network with most major insurance plans with the exception of Medicare/Medicaid and United Health. If you would like to use your insurance plan, please provide your insurance information to the front desk so they can verify your benefits before your first visit. If you do not have insurance or have an out-of-network plan, we discount the cost of all visits and procedures, when paying at the time of service. Please call the front desk for estimated costs.

What lab testing options do you offer at FoRM?

There are many laboratory options available, which can be difficult to navigate and know which is the best test for you. Your FoRM provider will discuss which test(s) are the most indicated for your unique circumstances. See below for the most commonly used lab tests.

Common Functional Laboratory Tests

  • Comprehensive Hormone Testing
  • Food Sensitivity Testing
  • Stool (microbiome/ digestive function) Testing
  • Heavy Metal Testing
  • Mycotoxin (Mold) Testing
  • Advanced Cardiometabolic Panels including inflammatory markers, early diabetes detection and detailed cholesterol panels
  • Autoimmune Panels

FAQ

Are there additional costs associated with these tests?

Yes, these tests are often not covered by insurance. On occasion, your insurance may pay a portion of the cost. All expected fees will be discussed with you prior to ordering the tests, though fees are subject to change at the discretion of the lab company. All costs associated with these labs go directly to the lab company. Your FoRM provider does not benefit financially from ordering these tests. In contrast, standard lab tests, either partially or fully, are often covered by your insurance plan.

We Love Our Patients

“I have loved participating in the Skin Rehab Program! I received 3 treatments per month customized to meet my skin care needs and goals.  With consistent treatments and home care, my skin is smoother, much more even skin tone (fewer dark spots and redness), firmer, and glows.  It just looks so much healthier!  I’m so happy with the results!”

–Look Better Member

“I am fairly new to acupuncture and dry needling and I cannot tell you how lucky I feel to have found THE Trusted Authority when it comes to these modalities. The experience at FoRM has been consistently amazing from beginning to end. I have not been able to stop sharing my experience and the benefits of going to see Dr. Minarik and his team with everybody that I know. They truly listen, are incredibly knowledgeable, candid and they set you up for longtime success/relief.”

–Sports Acupuncture Patient

Over the years, I have had many massages but Aric Naber is the best. He is well versed in muscular structure, intuitive as to how to address any issues and is well respected by athletes that have gone to him for either maintenance or to work through an injury. He is attentive to your concerns and trouble areas and excellent at communicating what he is addressing and why. I would highly recommend him.

–Therapeutic massage client

So thankful for (Dr.) Paul Molina, his help every week has helped keep me together as a professional athlete. Very professional and overall a great person and friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

–Professional Athlete

“Mary Jane is incredible. I arrive to the massage in pain and leave in a healed state, both physically and mentally. She is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. I would go daily if that were possible. Thank you Mary Jane!”

–Massage therapy patient

Dr Kai Herman and her staff are amazing!  I have been under Dr Herman’s naturopathic care for years. I fully trust Dr Herman with my medical needs and when I heard she was doing PRP facials, I knew I could also trust her with my face/skin care needs. The procedure itself was seamless and done in a comfortable, relaxed setting.  The downtime was minimal.  The results were impressive.  I noticed tighter, firmer skin and an improved complexion.  This will definitely be part of my anti-aging skin care routine!

–PRP Skin Rejuvenation Patient

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine used to be a place I would turn when my primary care provider was unable to address my concerns. After seeing Natasha, I now think of her first.

 

–Natasha’s patient

“Hilary is very thoughtful and a great listener when providing a customized solution. I was new to acupuncture and she was patient and communicative. She really cares for her patients. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

–Acupuncture Patient

“Dr. Herman thoughtfully and thoroughly addressed all of my concerns and recommended testing and treatments my PCP has never mentioned. I look forward to continuing my care with her.”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“Dr. Minarik is incredibly knowledgable. He’s been helping me for the last year and he’s top notch. I’ve been impressed with his understanding of both eastern and western treatment options.”

–Dry Needling & PRP Injections Patient

“Dr. Minarik is very skilled and knowledgeable about prp and prolotherapy. He is very thorough and precise in his treatments. He has a very good bedside manner with patients and explains his findings and treatments very thoroughly.”

–Orthobiologic Injections Patient

“Dr. Herman is amazing! I completed 2 laser resurfacing treatments and am loving the results. Many friends and family members have commented on how great my skin looks! Thanks, Dr. Herman!”

–Aesthetics Patient

Our not-so-secret ingredient in our Move Better Fo Our not-so-secret ingredient in our Move Better FoRMula is Regenerative Injection Therapy. 

When musculoskeletal symptoms aren’t resolving with our step-one therapies:
💆🏽massage & manual therapy

⭐️sprains
⭐️strains
⭐️Arthritis
⭐️Low back pain
⭐️Headaches
⭐️Joint instability
⭐️Nerve pain & entrapment - ie carpal tunnel syndrome
