​At Sanctuary Functional Medicine, we know every patient’s health journey is different. That’s why we offer several levels of care—each designed for a specific set of needs, goals, and levels of support.

Use this guide to find the program that best fits what you’re looking for.

Intensive Program

For patients with complex, chronic, or long-standing symptoms needing deep root-cause investigation.

Semi-Intensive Program

For adults and children who need a structured functional medicine plan, but with fewer visits and lighter testing than Intensive.

Functional Wellness Program

For those wanting to optimize energy, hormones, gut health, weight, and long-term wellness with personalized, proactive support.

Direct Primary Care (DPC)

For individuals and families seeking accessible, relationship-based primary care with direct provider access, same-day visits, and no insurance hassles.
