What is Advanced Functional Medicine?
Advanced Functional Medicine is a functional medicine clinic at 5405 Morehouse Drive, Suite 135, San Diego, CA 92121. Its main work is root-cause care, starting with lab testing and then a personal plan. In its own words: "Including dietary, supplements, nutritional, lifestyle changes, and peptides/hormones as needed to restore immediate balance and vibrance to your body." Its specialties include HRT Services and Weight Loss, along with Thyroid Issues, Diabetes and Fertility.
The weight loss program combines lab analysis, tailored meal plans, counseling and natural supplements. The clinic does not name a weight loss medication, though it mentions weight loss injections in passing. It also does not name who prescribes. Its team includes doctors, nurses, dietitians, nutritionists, health coaches and a holistic therapist. It offers in-person or online consultations and says it works with patients in other states, without naming which ones. The phone number is 858-412-5744. Hours are Monday to Thursday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Friday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 750 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, and it does not say whether medication is included in any program. No consultation fee is stated. It advertises a 10-minute no-fee discovery call, which is not the same as a paid visit, so ask what comes after that call. The clinic lists a $$$ price range with no dollar figures. On insurance, it says most plans will not cover functional medicine. In its own words: "However, HSA, FSA will cover it." It mentions payment plans and financing but gives no terms.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescriptions, what license they hold, and whether they examine you in person before prescribing hormones or peptides. Ask whether the monthly fee covers medication. If it does not, ask what the drug costs and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the lab panel costs, how often labs are repeated, and what follow-up visits cost. Ask whether payment plans or financing carry interest or fees, and have your HSA or FSA administrator confirm in writing that the charges qualify. Ask how to cancel and whether cancelling costs anything. If you live outside San Diego, ask which states it can treat you in by telehealth, and whether a remote visit can lead to a prescription.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in or near San Diego, want lab-driven functional medicine that pairs lifestyle, supplement and hormone or peptide care, and can pay out of pocket, through an HSA or FSA, or with financing. It is a weaker fit if you need a named prescriber, a published price, or a clear medication cost before you commit.
