Success Stories
“My 13 year old daughter started seeing Dr. Vaughan because her TSH was 9.9, which is a thyroid test. She was feeling tired, body aches, and wasn’t eating much. A family member referred me to Dr. Vaughan. She spoke very highly of how she had helped her mother. Dr. Vaughan ran many test, in which she discovered my daughter had auto-immune thyroid. I have thyroid disease, on medications for years. She also tested my thyroid, I was also auto-immune thyroid. She worked with her and really the whole family educating us on the causes thyroid disease.. After her first blood test her TSH went down to 3.1. My daughter began to act like herself again, eating and playing as she did before. Dr. Vaughan really cares about her patients and their results. She’s a great doctor I would recommend her. I feel better than I have in a very long time.” – Malerie J.
“I have been on thyroid medications for almost 20 years and on diabetic medications for 15 years. It seems that the medications continue to increase, while my symptoms worsened. I have rheumatoid arthritis, with pain through out my body, fatigue and feeling not as sharp as I was in the past. I began to see Dr. Vaughan and within a few weeks I noticed an increase in energy. My diabetic medications began to drop. My weight began to drop. I have fought losing weight all my life due to my thyroid issues. My A1C was 8.9 when I started, with three different diabetic medications, high doses of statin medications and 150 mg thyroid medications. Six months later I am proud to say I have more energy than ever. I lost 35 pounds. My A1C is at 5.6 and off all diabetes medications, off my statin medication and my thyroid medication dropped down to 25 mg. Dr. Vaughan helped me realize I also have auto-immune thyroid, and how to control my auto-immune flare ups from happening. If you want to be healthy or get support out of your disease to a better place, go to Dr. Vaughan. Stop waiting. Your health will only get worse if you don’t address it.” – Karen C.
“My wife sees Dr. Vaughan, in which she continued telling me I need to go see her to get help with my diabetes. She had seen me struggle with it for 10 years. I am only 54 years old, my health started to deteriorate. I finally went to have a visit with Dr. Vaughan. I was really impressed by her knowledge and her approach. My A1C was 10.4. Immediately in the program my fasting blood sugars started dropping. My head wasn’t as foggy and I wanted to go work out because I had more energy. She ran diagnostic test and discovered I also had a thyroid issue. After working with her and doing as she asked my A1C is now 5.2 on no medications. My thyroid is back in balance. I have my life back. Thank you Dr. Vaughan.” –Tim L

Functional Medicine FAQs
Functional medicine is a type of medicine that considers the whole person. It looks at the underlying causes of illness or disease, not just the symptoms. Functional medicine seeks to rebalance the body’s systems to restore health. Practitioners of functional medicine promote healthy lifestyles, instead of relying on drugs and surgery. It’s a model of care that evaluates your body as a whole and recognizes each system affects another system.
A functional medicine specialist is a medical professional who concentrates their care of patients on the diagnosis and treatment of the root causes of health problems, instead of focusing solely on symptoms. This type of medical profession can provide their patients with a variety of services such as: nutrition and diet consultation, stress management, specialty test and supplementation to help with nutrient deficiencies.
Functional medicine is a holistic approach to managing chronic illness. And in the past, if someone had chronic illness or disease, they would be given medications or procedures, which were focused on treating their symptoms. With functional medicine the focus is on the individual’s lifestyle and what factors have led to their health condition.
This means that functional medicine practitioners consider the person’s genes, environment, diet, nutrient deficiencies, emotional component and physical activity.
It’s important to understand the difference between functional medicine and conventional medicine. Functional medicine is a natural proactive approach, either to keep you healthy or to handle the root cause of chronic health issues. Conventional medicine is more of a reactive treatment and deals with symptoms. When patients are struggling with chronic diseases they can choose a conventional approach, functional approach or blended approach. Functional medicine believes chronic disease is the body’s reaction and warning that it needs help.
Many chronic and autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid, hashimoto’s, and irritable bowel syndrome can be treated using functional medicine. Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of illness rather than masking symptoms. It emphasizes individual treatment methods, such as specific nutritional support, diet and lifestyle changes, evaluations of specialty testing, which are driving root cause of disease, supporting genes, and reduce inflammation.
Functional medicine helps greatly with chronic conditions because it considers pathophysiology that has driven this condition which looks at the contributing factors driving the disease. Functional medicine is a methodical approach at addressing each root cause until the person’s health is regained.

“I can’t spend that kind of money; I am on fixed income and have only limited resources.” Believe me, I hear that a lot… and here’s what I told Janine, a 48-year-old single mother: “Let’s assume you could get back to vibrant health within a year… waking up refreshed, without aches and pains… steady energy throughout the day…. clear and sharp mind…. ready to tackle anything the day may bring… what would that be worth to you?
