What exactly is Functional Medicine, and is it right for me?

Functional Medicine is a whole-body approach to healthcare that looks at the root cause of your symptoms, not just the surface. If you’ve been feeling “off” but your lab tests are always “normal,” or you’re juggling a mix of fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, and mood shifts without clear answers, Functional Medicine may be the turning point. It’s especially helpful for women who’ve felt unheard or rushed in traditional medical settings and want a more connected, personalised approach to care.

How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?

Conventional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with medications or procedures, usually addressing one issue at a time. Functional medicine takes a more integrated approach, exploring how hormones, digestion, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle work together. Instead of masking symptoms, we aim to understand their root cause and help the body return to balance for lasting improvement.

What kinds of concerns or conditions do you treat?

We work with a wide range of health concerns that many women face, especially when they feel stuck between symptoms and solutions. These include hormonal issues (like irregular cycles, PMS, perimenopause, PCOS), thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, chronic fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems (bloating, IBS, food sensitivities), autoimmune flares, stress-related burnout, unexplained weight changes, and skin or hair concerns. If your body is giving you signals that something’s off, we help you listen and respond.

Do I have to do a lot of tests? Are they necessary?

Not necessarily. We only recommend targeted testing if it gives us meaningful insight that can guide your care—never just for the sake of testing. If needed, we may explore hormone panels, gut microbiome assessments, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid/adrenal markers, or inflammation patterns. All testing is explained clearly, and you’re part of the decision-making every step of the way.

What does a Functional Medicine care plan include?

Your plan is completely personalised based on your symptoms and test results (if applicable). We may suggest nutrition changes, therapeutic supplements, stress management tools, sleep support, hormonal or digestive strategies, and other treatments tailored to your life stage and goals. We explain the why behind every recommendation, so you feel informed, not overwhelmed.

How long will it take before I start feeling better?

Healing isn’t a quick fix, it’s a process. Some women start noticing changes in a few weeks, while others need several months to see lasting improvement. It depends on what’s going on beneath the surface and how long your body’s been out of balance. What we promise is that we’ll walk beside you, adjusting the plan as your body responds and helping you celebrate the small (but important) wins along the way.

Can I still take my regular medications or work with my current doctor?

Yes, absolutely. Functional Medicine can be safely integrated with your existing treatments. We’re happy to coordinate with your GP, specialist, or other care providers to ensure your care is cohesive and respectful of your current health plan. Our goal is to fill the gap—not to replace what’s working for you.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes. We understand that not everyone can come into the clinic, and we want this care to be as accessible as possible. Virtual consultations offer the same depth, attention, and personalisation as in-person visits, and we provide clear follow-up, test orders (where applicable), and guidance from afar.

Will my insurance cover Functional Medicine services?

This varies by provider and plan. Functional Medicine is often considered a private or integrative service, so direct coverage can be limited. However, we can provide you with detailed invoices and documentation to assist with reimbursement if your plan allows. We’re always transparent about costs and options before you commit.

Are supplements required, and will I have to take them forever?

Supplements can be incredibly helpful, especially when correcting deficiencies or supporting specific systems, but they’re not forever. Our approach is food-first and root-cause focused. Supplements are tools we use intentionally, often for a specific time period, and we always explain why we’re recommending them and when you can scale back.

1. Persistent Fatigue, Brain Fog & Sleep Concerns

Why do I feel exhausted even after getting enough sleep?

Sleeping for seven to nine hours does not always guarantee restorative sleep. Sleep apnea, anemia, thyroid disorders, medication effects, depression, and nutritional deficiencies can contribute to persistent fatigue. Hormonal changes during perimenopause may also disrupt sleep quality. A medical evaluation can help distinguish sleep-related problems from other causes of low energy and guide appropriate testing and treatment.

Why do I experience an afternoon energy crash even after eating?

Afternoon fatigue may be related to insufficient sleep, meal composition, dehydration, medications, or normal changes in alertness throughout the day. Blood sugar fluctuations can contribute in some individuals, particularly those with diabetes or certain metabolic conditions. Reviewing meal timing, sleep patterns, medications, and metabolic risk factors can help identify possible explanations.

Can low iron or vitamin B12 cause brain fog and difficulty concentrating?

Iron deficiency, anemia, and vitamin B12 deficiency may contribute to fatigue, poor concentration, dizziness, and reduced mental clarity. However, brain fog can also arise from inadequate sleep, stress, thyroid disorders, medications, or hormonal changes. Testing for nutritional deficiencies is most useful when symptoms, dietary history, or medical risk factors suggest a possible deficiency.

Why do I feel constantly stressed, wired, or tired but unable to relax?

Persistent stress can affect sleep, concentration, mood, and physical energy. Feeling unusually alert at night while exhausted during the day may reflect anxiety, insomnia, irregular sleep habits, or another medical condition. Although these experiences are sometimes described as "adrenal fatigue," that term is not an established medical diagnosis. Evaluation should focus on identifiable causes and appropriate treatment.

2. Thyroid Function & Unexplained Hormonal Symptoms

Can I have thyroid symptoms even if my TSH level is normal?

Fatigue, weight changes, dry skin, and hair thinning can resemble symptoms of hypothyroidism, but they are not specific to thyroid disease. A normal TSH generally makes primary hypothyroidism less likely, although certain circumstances require additional evaluation. Depending on symptoms and medical history, a clinician may review free T4 levels, medications, and other potential causes.

Why am I losing hair and gaining weight at the same time?

Hair thinning and weight gain may occur with thyroid dysfunction, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, medications, or lifestyle changes. These symptoms do not necessarily share one cause. Reviewing menstrual patterns, diet, medications, family history, and appropriate laboratory results can help determine whether thyroid disease, iron deficiency, or another condition requires attention.

Could Hashimoto's disease explain my fatigue, constipation, and sensitivity to cold?

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that can cause hypothyroidism. Symptoms may include tiredness, constipation, cold intolerance, dry skin, and changes in menstrual cycles. Diagnosis typically involves thyroid function tests and, when indicated, thyroid antibodies. Symptoms alone cannot confirm Hashimoto's disease, and some individuals with thyroid antibodies maintain normal thyroid function.

Can my menstrual cycle or perimenopause affect how thyroid symptoms feel?

Thyroid dysfunction and the menopause transition can produce overlapping symptoms, including fatigue, menstrual irregularities, mood changes, and difficulty sleeping. They can also occur together. A clinician may consider menstrual history, age, thyroid function, and other medical findings to distinguish the conditions and determine which treatments are appropriate.

3. Gut Health, Bloating & Digestive Problems

Why does my stomach become bloated after almost every meal?

Frequent bloating can occur with constipation, lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), certain food intolerances, or other digestive conditions. Meal size, eating habits, and fermentable carbohydrates may also contribute. Persistent bloating warrants assessment, particularly when accompanied by unexplained weight loss, bleeding, vomiting, or significant abdominal pain.

How do I know whether my digestive symptoms are caused by IBS, food intolerance, or something else?

IBS commonly involves recurrent abdominal pain associated with changes in bowel movements. Food intolerances may produce symptoms after particular foods, while celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions can cause overlapping complaints. A detailed symptom history and targeted testing can help distinguish these possibilities without unnecessary food restrictions.

Can stress make digestive problems worse even when I eat healthy foods?

Yes. Communication between the brain and digestive tract can influence intestinal movement, sensitivity, and bowel habits. Stress may worsen bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation, or diarrhea, particularly in people with IBS. Managing stress can be one part of treatment, but ongoing digestive symptoms should not automatically be attributed to stress without considering other medical causes.

Should I take a food sensitivity test before eliminating foods from my diet?

Commercial IgG food sensitivity panels are not recommended for diagnosing food allergies or intolerances because their results do not reliably identify foods that cause symptoms. A clinician may instead recommend a food-and-symptom diary, validated allergy or celiac testing when indicated, or a supervised elimination-and-reintroduction approach. Broad restrictions without guidance can increase the risk of nutritional deficiencies.

4. Weight Changes, Insulin Resistance & Metabolic Health

Why am I struggling to lose weight despite eating less and exercising regularly?

Weight management can be influenced by total energy intake, sleep, medications, activity levels, age-related changes in muscle mass, and certain medical conditions. Hormonal changes during menopause may also affect body-fat distribution. A clinical assessment can identify contributing factors and help develop a sustainable nutrition, movement, and metabolic health plan.

Can I have insulin resistance even if my fasting blood sugar is normal?

Yes. Insulin resistance may develop before fasting glucose levels become abnormal because the body can initially compensate by producing more insulin. Risk factors include abdominal obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), family history, and inactivity. Clinicians commonly use HbA1c, fasting glucose, and other risk-based assessments to screen for prediabetes or diabetes.

Why do I feel hungry again shortly after eating a full meal?

Frequent hunger can be influenced by meal composition, insufficient protein or fiber, poor sleep, stress, or individual energy requirements. In some cases, medications or blood sugar disorders may contribute. Reviewing eating patterns, symptoms, and relevant metabolic risk factors can help determine whether dietary adjustments or medical evaluation are needed.

Can PCOS affect insulin resistance and weight even when my periods are regular?

PCOS is associated with insulin resistance and metabolic risk in many women, but symptoms vary. Some women with PCOS have relatively regular bleeding patterns, and regular periods do not always confirm regular ovulation. Diagnosis requires assessment of appropriate clinical features and exclusion of other causes. Metabolic screening and individualized management may be recommended.

5. Inflammation, Nutrient Deficiencies & Whole-Body Symptoms

Why do I wake up with stiff joints or body aches?

Morning stiffness may result from osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, muscle strain, sleep-related problems, or other conditions. The duration and pattern of stiffness can provide important clues. Persistent joint swelling, warmth, prolonged morning stiffness, or unexplained systemic symptoms should prompt medical evaluation rather than being attributed solely to hormonal imbalance or inflammation.

Can vitamin D deficiency contribute to muscle weakness and bone discomfort?

Severe vitamin D deficiency may cause muscle weakness and bone pain and can affect long-term bone health. However, fatigue and generalized body aches have many possible causes. Testing is generally guided by individual risk factors and clinical findings rather than recommended universally. Supplementation should be based on an appropriate assessment of need.

Why do my hair, skin, and nails seem unhealthy despite taking supplements?

Hair shedding, dry skin, and brittle nails can result from thyroid disorders, iron deficiency, nutritional inadequacy, aging, skin conditions, or other causes. Supplements are unlikely to help when a relevant deficiency is absent, and excessive amounts of some nutrients can be harmful. Identifying the underlying problem is more useful than repeatedly changing supplement combinations.

Can chronic stress contribute to inflammation and physical symptoms?

Long-term stress can influence sleep, immune signaling, pain perception, digestion, and cardiovascular health. However, inflammation is a broad biological response rather than a diagnosis by itself. When symptoms persist, evaluation should consider specific medical conditions, lifestyle factors, and clinically appropriate investigations instead of assuming stress is the only cause.

6. Functional Medicine Testing & Personalized Care Decisions

Do I need a comprehensive hormone panel to understand my symptoms?

Not necessarily. The usefulness of hormone testing depends on age, menstrual history, symptoms, medications, and the condition being investigated. A single reproductive hormone measurement may be difficult to interpret during perimenopause because levels fluctuate. Targeted testing is generally more informative than ordering extensive hormone panels without a specific clinical indication.

Are gut microbiome tests useful for identifying the cause of digestive symptoms?

Gut microbiome research is advancing, but many commercial stool microbiome tests lack sufficient clinical validation to diagnose the causes of common digestive complaints or guide specific treatments. Standard evaluation for conditions such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or infections may be more useful when indicated. Testing should be chosen according to the patient's symptoms and clinical findings.

How can I tell whether a supplement is helping or causing side effects?

A supplement's effects should be assessed against a clearly defined health goal, appropriate dosage, symptom changes, and relevant clinical measurements. Supplements can cause adverse effects or interact with prescriptions, including thyroid medications and blood thinners. Reviewing all products with a qualified clinician can help determine whether continued use is appropriate.

Can functional medicine be used alongside my existing medical treatment?

An integrative approach can incorporate nutrition, physical activity, sleep improvement, and other evidence-supported interventions alongside conventional medical treatment. It should not replace necessary medications, screening, or specialist care. At Galleria Women's Health, Dr. Deepali Kashyap combines board-certified OB/GYN expertise with IFMCP-certified functional medicine training to provide individualized women's health care and coordinate further evaluation when needed.

Concerns We Treat with Functional Medicine

Dr. Deepali Kashyap is trusted by women across Henderson and Las Vegas for her root-cause approach to functional medicine. What makes her one of the best choices for women’s midlife care is her ability to connect hormones, thyroid health, gut function, fatigue, weight changes, metabolism, and lifestyle instead of treating symptoms in isolation.

Functional Medicine Treatments
Based on Your Health Concerns

Our Personalized Therapeutic Approach

At Galleria Women’s Health, Dr. Deepali Kashyap takes a root-cause, patient-centered approach to ongoing health concerns such as fatigue, brain fog, sleep disruption, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, weight changes, and metabolic health challenges. After reviewing your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, nutrition, stress, sleep patterns, lab findings, and wellness goals, your care plan may include functional medicine testing, nutrition guidance, lifestyle medicine, targeted supplements, hormone-focused care, gut-health support, and metabolic wellness strategies when clinically appropriate.

For Fatigue, Brain Fog & Slowed Focus
For Trouble Sleeping or Waking Unrested
For Chronic Inflammation or Joint Stiffness
For Bloating, Gas & Digestive Upset
For Hormonal Imbalance & PMS
For Hair Shedding, Skin Breakouts & Brittle Nails
For Unexplained Weight Changes
For Perimenopause & Menopause Transition

For Fatigue, Brain Fog & Slowed Focus

Low energy, mental cloudiness, and slowed focus may be connected to adrenal stress, nutrient gaps, thyroid function, hormone changes, sleep quality, inflammation, or blood sugar imbalance. Dr. Deepali Kashyap reviews your symptoms, lifestyle, lab findings, and daily energy pattern to identify which functional medicine treatment may support better energy, clarity, and focus.

Magnesium threonate — may support brain function, mental clarity, and cognitive performance when clinically appropriate.
Active B-complex with B12 and folate — supports energy metabolism, especially in women with nutrient deficiencies, MTHFR variants, menstrual irregularity, or fatigue-related concerns.
Rhodiola and ashwagandha — adaptogenic support may be considered for stress-related fatigue, mental fog, and clarity under pressure without overstimulation.

For Trouble Sleeping or Waking Unrested

Disrupted sleep, frequent waking, or feeling tired after sleep can be especially common during perimenopause and menopause, but it may also be linked to stress response, cortisol rhythm, blood sugar changes, nervous-system imbalance, or hormone shifts. Dr. Deepali Kashyap personalizes sleep support by first identifying what is interrupting your natural sleep rhythm.

Magnesium glycinate — may help support relaxation, muscle calm, and deeper rest when appropriate.
L-theanine and glycine — may support a calmer nervous system, reduce racing thoughts, and help with nighttime waking.
Low-dose melatonin — used selectively to support circadian rhythm when sleep cycles are disrupted.

For Chronic Inflammation or Joint Stiffness

Joint stiffness, swelling, bloating, body aches, or recurring discomfort may reflect inflammation, immune stress, gut imbalance, nutrient deficiency, or metabolic dysfunction. Through a root-cause functional medicine approach, Dr. Deepali Kashyap may review inflammation markers, food patterns, gut health, lifestyle, and lab findings before recommending targeted support.

Curcumin from turmeric — may support a healthy inflammatory response and joint comfort.
Omega-3s EPA/DHA — may support systemic inflammation balance, hormone health, and cardiovascular wellness.
Vitamin D3 with K2 — may support immune function, bone health, and long-term wellness when levels indicate a need.

For Bloating, Gas & Digestive Upset

Bloating, gas, constipation, loose stools, food sensitivity patterns, or digestive discomfort may be tied to poor absorption, stress response, gut imbalance, microbiome disruption, or inflammation. Based on symptom history, lifestyle review, and functional medicine testing when needed, Dr. Deepali Kashyap may create a gut-focused plan.

Digestive enzymes — may support protein and fat breakdown in women with sluggish digestion or poor absorption patterns.
Probiotic blends — selected strains such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or Saccharomyces boulardii may be considered for IBS-like symptoms, antibiotic history, or recurrent infections.
L-glutamine and zinc carnosine — may support gut lining health in cases of long-standing irritation or inflammation.
Herbal antimicrobials — options such as berberine, oregano oil, or neem may be considered only when SIBO, dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance is suspected or confirmed.

For Hormonal Imbalance & PMS

Irregular cycles, painful periods, heavy bleeding, breast tenderness, PMS mood shifts, PCOS-related concerns, or perimenopause symptoms may reflect changes in estrogen, progesterone, thyroid function, insulin response, adrenal stress, or inflammation. Dr. Deepali Kashyap adapts each hormone-focused plan to your cycle pattern, stage of life, symptoms, labs, and wellness goals.

DIM / Diindolylmethane — may support estrogen metabolism and help with symptoms such as breast tenderness or heavy periods when appropriate.
Chasteberry / Vitex agnus-castus — may support cycle regularity and PMS-related mood changes in selected patients.
Calcium-D-glucarate — may support detoxification pathways in women with signs of estrogen-dominant patterns.
Seed cycling — a food-based strategy using flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds to support menstrual-cycle rhythm naturally.

For Hair Shedding, Skin Breakouts & Brittle Nails

Hair shedding, acne, brittle nails, dryness, or texture changes may reflect thyroid imbalance, low iron or ferritin, micronutrient deficiencies, inflammation, stress response, gut dysfunction, or hormone shifts. Dr. Deepali Kashyap reviews symptoms, labs, cycle history, medications, nutrition, and lifestyle before recommending targeted nutritional or hormonal support.

Zinc picolinate — may support hair strength, skin resilience, immune function, and tissue repair.
Iron bisglycinate — may be considered for women with low ferritin, heavy cycles, or iron-related fatigue and hair shedding.
Biotin and silica — may support nail strength, hair structure, and repair of weakened hair follicles.
Adaptogens — may support stress-related hair shedding when cortisol imbalance or chronic stress is contributing.

Gut health, inflammation, and detoxification pathways may also be reviewed when skin-related concerns are present.

For Unexplained Weight Changes

Unexpected weight gain, difficulty losing weight, cravings, energy crashes, or body-composition changes may be linked to thyroid function, insulin resistance, hormone shifts, stress response, inflammation, poor sleep, or metabolic imbalance.

Inositol — may support insulin sensitivity and blood sugar balance, especially in women with PCOS or glucose instability./li>
Berberine — may support glucose metabolism, insulin response, and inflammation balance when clinically appropriate./li>
CoQ10 and carnitine — may support mitochondrial function, cellular energy, and fat metabolism, especially in women over 40./li>

This support is paired with blood sugar-focused meal planning, movement strategies, lifestyle medicine, and follow-up care.

For Perimenopause & Menopause Transition

Perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep, mood, bleeding patterns, weight, libido, vaginal comfort, energy, and long-term metabolic health. Dr. Deepali Kashyap combines women’s health, functional medicine, and personalized menopause treatment to evaluate hormone patterns and offer hormonal or non-hormonal support when clinically appropriate.

Bioidentical progesterone —v oral or topical options may be considered for selected patients with sleep issues, anxiety, cycle changes, or bleeding-pattern concerns.
DHEA — topical or capsule options may be reviewed for women with low libido, energy dips, or vaginal dryness when clinically appropriate.
Maca, red clover, and black cohosh — plant-based options may be considered for selected menopause symptoms and estrogen-support needs.
Topical estrogen or vaginal DHEA — applied directly to vaginal tissue to support dryness, intimacy comfort, and vaginal health when appropriate.
