Functional Medicine and Wellness in Show Low, AZ
Stop Guessing. Start Testing.
Personalized vitamin and supplement plans built from your lab results. Not a generic protocol. Not a bottle with a celebrity on it.
Why Patients Choose Functional Wellness at VitaLife
You're Probably Taking the Wrong Supplements
Most people pick their supplements based on an article they read, a recommendation from a friend, or whatever was on sale at the store. Some of those supplements are doing nothing. Some are competing with each other. Some you don't need at all. Functional wellness starts with lab work. We test your vitamin levels, mineral status, metabolic markers, and inflammatory indicators. Then we build a protocol that addresses what's actually low, missing, or out of balance. Not what a marketing campaign told you to take.
Personalized Vitamin and Supplement Plans
Built From Your Labs. Not a Sales Pitch.
At VitaLife, functional wellness starts with a full lab panel. We test the markers that matter: Vitamin D, B12, magnesium, iron, thyroid, metabolic panel, inflammatory markers, and more. The standard annual physical misses most of this.
Your provider walks through every result with you. What's low, what's fine, what needs attention. No medical jargon without an explanation. Then we build a custom supplement and nutrition plan designed for your body. Which products, what doses, when to take them, and why.
Follow-up labs in 3-6 months show what changed. Your protocol adjusts based on real data, not assumptions.
VitaLife Longevity Medicine offers functional medicine evaluations in Show Low, Arizona, led by Courtney Contreras, PA-C. Unlike conventional wellness visits that rely on a basic metabolic panel, our functional wellness evaluations test the markers most primary care offices skip: full thyroid panel, vitamin D, B12, magnesium, iron studies, inflammatory markers, and hormone levels. Patients come to us from across the White Mountains, including Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, and Heber-Overgaard, as well as statewide through telemedicine.
