Who is Functional Medicine for
Have you ever been told that everything looks “normal”—yet you still feel exhausted, inflamed, or unwell?
Functional medicine is for people who’ve already seen conventional doctors and were told nothing was wrong… but deep down, they know something is off.
It’s also for those with chronic conditions who want to move beyond symptom management and actually feel better.
Often, people come in with normal labs and imaging, but they’re still experiencing real symptoms. That’s because traditional medicine focuses on disease diagnosis—not dysfunction. And when something is found, treatment often involves pharmaceuticals or surgery, which can bring their own complications or side effects.
Functional medicine looks deeper. It focuses on how your organs and systems are functioning—how everything works together. It’s for people who want to feel well, live well, and stay well for the long term. The goal is a high quality of life, not just the absence of disease.
What Conditions Does Functional Medicine Treat?
Functional medicine doesn’t treat isolated symptoms or body parts—it treats the whole person.
For example, someone may come in with fatigue and low energy. Rather than immediately recommending medications, we look deeper—at gut health, food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, thyroid function, sleep quality, and stress levels.
As we begin to address these interconnected systems, improvements often go far beyond just energy—brain fog lifts, digestion becomes more regular, mood stabilizes, sleep improves, and even chronic joint pain or skin flare-ups may start to fade.
That’s the power of whole-body healing.
At our clinic, we work with a wide range of conditions, including IBS, autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, acne and eczema, anxiety, depression, joint pain, migraines, thyroid issues, bloating, metabolic dysfunction, and more.
Is Functional Medicine An Alternative Medicine?
No, it’s not.
Functional medicine is not “alternative”—it’s based on science, physiology, and research.
We look at how your body functions, and we use evidence-based tools like lifestyle changes, nutrition, and targeted supplements to restore balance.
Dr. Azizian, the founder of our clinic, is a board-certified surgeon and skin cancer physician—so she understands both sides. She combines her training in conventional medicine with her certification in functional medicine to offer the best of both worlds. That’s what makes this approach so unique—and effective.
Is Testing All There Is To Functional Medicine?
Not at all. While testing plays an important role, functional medicine begins with partnership.
The first step is a 60-minute consultation with Dr. Azizian. We dive deep into your health history, your lifestyle, your habits—because a test without context doesn’t tell the full story. Without understanding you, treatment will always fall short.
We look at everything: sleep, stress, diet, exercise regimen, emotions. It’s like having a doctor and a health coach in one.
Now, when we do test, we interpret it through a trained lens—and more importantly, we do something with that information. At our clinic, your results are used to create personalized treatment protocols that include supplements, lifestyle changes, and sometimes even pharmaceutical options when needed.
Why Do Most Functional Medicine Workups Start With The Gut?
Because nearly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut.
Your gut is connected to everything—from your immune health, to your mood, to your skin, metabolism, and brain.
Gut dysfunction has been linked to:
• Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus
• Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
• Anxiety and depression
• Obesity and metabolic syndrome
• Skin issues like eczema, hives, acne
• And of course—digestive problems like IBS, bloating, and reflux
While not every case starts with the gut, many do—because it’s often the root cause that no one’s looked at yet.
Who Is Dr. Azizian?
Dr. Maria Azizian is a board-certified general surgeon and an IFM-certified functional medicine physician. She is also the author of two books—The Clear Skin Diet: Unlocking the Secret Link Between Food Sensitivities and Skin Health and Gallbladder Disease Easily Explained by a Surgeon. She is the founder of Mindful Medical Care, a dedicated skin cancer clinic based in Falmouth, Massachusetts. She is also the creator of the Dr. Maria Azizian MD YouTube channel, where she shares educational content about functional medicine, skin health, supplements, and cutting-edge medical research.
In addition to general functional medicine certification, Dr. Azizian is also certified in Functional Dermatology through Dr. Julie Greenberg’s training.
Do You Offer In Person And Telemedicine Appointments?
We offer both in-person and virtual appointments.
If you’re local—or just want to make the trip—we welcome you to our beautiful clinic in Cape Cod.
If you prefer telemedicine, we currently serve residents of Massachusetts, California, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Due to a lot of interest from our California patients, soon Dr. Azizian will be offering in-person visits in Glendale, California on bimonthly basis.
How Do Consultations Work In Functional Medicine?
We start with a free 15-minute discovery call to see if functional medicine is the right fit for you.
If you decide to move forward, the next step is a 60-minute initial consultation where Dr. Azizian reviews your health system by system—along with your past labs and imaging.
Often, we recommend functional lab testing next. Once your results are in, we schedule a 60-minute results interpretation visit to go over the findings and create your personalized functional medicine protocol.
After that, you’ll have the option of 30-minute follow-up visits every few weeks or months—depending on your needs. Follow-ups are encouraged, but not mandatory.
How Can I Get Started At Mindful Medical Functional Clinic?
It’s simple. Just schedule a free 15-minute discovery call with Dr. Azizian to find out if our approach and your needs are a good fit.
Who Are Functional Medicine Providers?
Functional medicine providers are typically trained healthcare professionals—doctors, nurse practitioners, and others—who realized that conventional medicine doesn’t always explain the functional symptoms people experience.
Dr. Azizian is one of them. As a board-certified surgeon, she’s spent years seeing organs in crisis—ruptured, diseased, perforated. She wanted to intervene before it got to that point. That’s why she created this clinic—to be at the prevention and healing phase, not just the emergency phase.
What Does Training For Functional Medicine Physicians Entail?
There’s a growing interest amongst clinicians in functional medicine, but not everybody has a required training.
Dr. Azizian is fully certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine—an intensive program that covers all core systems: gut, immune, cardiovascular, detoxification, hormonal, and energy systems. Her training ensures that your care is rooted in the latest science and delivered with clinical expertise.
Does My Functional Medicine Doctor Communicate with My Regular Doctors?
Yes, absolutely.
At our clinic, we value collaboration. Dr. Azizian appreciates working closely with your other providers—whether that’s your primary care doctor, specialist, or therapist.
With your permission, we coordinate your care, including medication management and supplement review.
Will I Be Cured of All My Issues If I Sign Up For This?
There is never a promise of a cure, especially not a quick fix for chronic illness.
While we often see remarkable improvements and even resolutions of some issues, every person’s journey is unique.
Some conditions may be too advanced to fully reverse. And more importantly—functional medicine is a partnership. Your participation matters.
Your results depend on your willingness to follow the protocol, make dietary changes, and commit to your healing.
Are These Functional Medicine Services Covered by Insurance?
We provide superbills for consultations, which you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. We do not work with insurance directly, and, unfortunately, most functional medicine tests are not covered by insurance. We offer financing through Affirm and Klarna.
One exception is the Gut Test Program that is partially covered for Medicare patients, and our pricing reflects that. For full details, please visit the How to Get Started section of our website.
Is My Personal Information Safe?
Yes. All medical communication takes place through Healthie, our secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
Once you sign up for a visit or package, you’ll receive access to Healthie, where you’ll complete all required consents and medical intake forms.
Please do not send any medical information through regular email—it’s not secure.
