Functional Medicine & Longevity at Cornerstone Health
If you’ve been told your labs are “normal,” yet you still don’t feel like yourself—fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, stubborn weight, gut issues, hormone disruption, or persistent aches—Functional Medicine helps connect the dots.
At Cornerstone Health, Functional Medicine is designed for patients who want clarity, an intentional plan, and measurable progress. No guesswork. No generic treatments. No bouncing around.
You’re unique, and your goals are our focus.
We’ll uncover the most impactful drivers of your health and build a clear plan to help you reach your health and longevity goals.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a systems-based approach that looks for root causes—the upstream drivers that keep symptoms going. Instead of chasing one symptom at a time, we look for patterns across:
- Inflammation + immune signaling
- Gut function and gut-immune connections
- Metabolic health (glucose/insulin, lipids, body composition)
- Hormone and stress physiology
- Nutrient status, sleep, recovery, and lifestyle drivers
The goal is practical: identify what’s most likely driving your symptoms, choose the highest-value testing, and build a plan you can follow.
(If you want a helpful overview of why this model matters, we reference a video featuring Dr. Mark Hyman explaining why Functional Medicine can be powerful for chronic issues.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhkLcpJTV9M
Why Functional Medicine at Cornerstone Health
Cornerstone Health is built for complex cases. Our clinic has a long-standing reputation for thoughtful evaluation, clinical rigor, and individualized plans—especially for people who have tried multiple options.
A clinical partnership: Jennifer Kane, NP + Dr. Benjamin Fergus
This program is a collaboration between:
- Jennifer Kane, Nurse Practitioner — brings 25 years of hospital-based clinical experience and now applies that expertise upstream: helping patients stay out of the hospital by addressing root causes early and building a plan that fits real life.
- Dr. Benjamin Fergus, Clinic Director — brings 15 years of Functional Medicine experience and designs the clinical frameworks, testing strategy, and products/programs offered at Cornerstone.
This is clinically guided care built around clear priorities, advanced lab insight, and a plan that evolves as you improve.
Who Functional Medicine is for
Functional Medicine & Longevity is a fit if you want a deeper look at complex or persistent issues such as:
- Fatigue, brain fog, low resilience
- Gut symptoms (bloating, reflux, IBS patterns)
- Inflammation-driven aches, stiffness, and chronic pain patterns
- Weight resistance, metabolic concerns, elevated A1c/lipids
- Hormone and stress physiology challenges (sleep, energy, cycles, perimenopause patterns)
- “Normal labs” but not normal life
Functional Medicine & Longevity is designed patients who want:
- To have a remarkable healthspan - the part of your life spent in good health
- To feel healthier each year
- To live an active healthy lifestyle
- To consume healthy whole foods
- To sleep well and feel restored
- To promote their body's self-healing ability
Our Process: Clear steps and meaningful results
Our model is structured. Most patients do best when care has a rhythm—testing, interpretation, action, iteration
Typical rhythm (what to expect)
Step 1 — Initial Intake (60 minutes)
We take a deep history, review your goals, and order the right labs. Lab draws performed on site for your convenience.
Step 2 — Lab Results + Root-Cause Action Plan (60 minutes)
You get a clear, personalized plan based on your results—what matters most, what to do first, and what we’ll track.
Step 3 — Progress + refinement
We adjust based on your response, barriers, and key markers. Complex cases are closer together early, then space out as you stabilize.
Retesting (how often do we repeat labs?)
Retesting is individualized, but for many patients we recheck targeted markers around 3–6 months, then shift toward 6–12 month maintenance once stable.
