What is Functional Wellness?

Functional wellness is a holistic approach to health issues that focuses on addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms. At its core, functional wellness views the body as an interconnected system, where imbalances in one area can manifest as symptoms in another. Unlike conventional healthcare, which often relies on medication to manage symptoms, functional wellness aims to restore balance and optimize function through a personalized approach tailored to each individual’s unique biochemistry and lifestyle factors.

In functional wellness, practitioners take the time to thoroughly assess a patient’s health history, genetics, environment, and lifestyle habits to uncover underlying factors contributing to disease. Treatment plans often include a combination of dietary and lifestyle modifications, targeted supplementation, stress management techniques, and other natural therapies to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. By addressing the underlying causes of illness and promoting optimal function, functional wellness empowers patients to take an active role in their health and well-being, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and a higher quality of life.

“Let’s Get Real About Eating”

— By Laura Kopec

Laura Kopec is a health educator, speaker, author, mother of three and lover of good food.

Monica

I’m not one who typically writes reviews, so you must know Laura is nothing short of incredible. I’ve been working with her for three years now to help my three kids, husband, and myself. We all have our own unique sets of struggles and she has been able to intuit what we each individually need to reach peak potential. Her approach is deep rooted and in my opinion, superior to physician’s care I’ve received. She does this as affordably as possible by the way… ie testing only when absolutely necessary and prorating our visits. She’s fiercely loyal to her clients, an active listener, and incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about what she does. Laura also has a wealth of knowledge from experience- just ask her about it! Really, it’s pretty remarkable how far our little family has come with her guidance and very little from any outside physicians. We are all doing so well under her care. She’ll always have our business.

Eva

I have been working with Laura Kopec now for 10 years for myself and my family and can say without a shadow of a doubt, she truly is a lifesaver. On all fronts, Laura is superior to other practitioners I’ve worked with over the years. Her level of expertise, affordability, communication, ongoing support, and convenience-level for office visit options and treatments and testing are outstanding and better than any other practitioner that I have tried (both local and virtually). She is incredibly knowledgeable, informed, wise, and intuitive and is constantly learning and researching to stay current with all the latest studies, products and resources, and treatments. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she has the most respectful, compassionate, and helpful approach in her relationships with her clients. Laura’s treatment plans and services are practical, prudent, thoughtful, and affordable. Right down to the smallest details in her office operations, right up to the life-changing details of helping you through a life crisis, Laura and her team give 100% effort in all areas.

Josie

Laura has been such an incredible help in my health journey. Through fertility, grief processing, genetic understanding, and supplement support – she is my go to for life! I cannot recommend her enough. She has a full mind/body perspective that gets to the root of the problem rather than a quick fix. Love her!

  Laura has helped our family of five for the past eight years.  She is among the best in her field and has helped us where other health professionals have failed.  I have worked with other health professionals who simply want to keep us around as a client and have no interest in helping us recover.  Laura is quite the opposite.  As my health would improve, she would remove certain supplements since they were no longer needed.  She is also considerate of her clients' economic situations, and charges less than others in her field.

  I've had such a positive experience with Laura and Heather. They are both personable, professional, and experienced clinicians. The treatment is evidence-based and customized to you. I noticed a positive difference almost immediately starting the protocol Laura recommended and I feel hopeful for the rest of the treatment.

  I have been suffering with the deleterious effects of topical steroid withdrawal for the better part of 4 years. I had an awful flare recently that was rapidly worsening. I scheduled my appointment with Laura and immediately began her protocol. Within 24 hours, no joke, I felt a noticeable shift in my energy and within two days, the severity of my inflammation substantially decreased. The integrity of my skin continues to improve and I'm actually sleeping through the night without medication! I feel confident that I am finally in good hands with someone who understands autoimmune issues.
