Integrative Medicine in Nashville, TN
Many patients I see for integrative medicine in Nashville have already had standard evaluations and have been told that everything looks “normal” — yet they don’t feel like themselves.
In those situations, the question is not just whether a diagnosis is present, but whether something is being missed in how the body is functioning as a whole.
As an osteopathic physician providing integrative medicine for patients in Nashville, Franklin, and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area my approach is to look more closely at patterns — including how different systems in the body interact — rather than focusing on isolated symptoms alone.
Conditions I Treat:
Patients seeking a functional or integrative medicine physician in Nashville often present with concerns that are ongoing, multifactorial, or difficult to fully explain through a single diagnosis.
- Chronic Fatigue & Energy Support
- Stress Management
- Autoimmune Support
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Gut Health & Digestive Issues (such as bloating, constipation, or food sensitivities)
- Hormonal Balance (including menopause, low testosterone, PCOS)
- Metabolic Health (i.e. blood sugar, weight changes)
- Chronic pain or tension
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood-related concerns such as anxiety or low mood
These symptoms are often interconnected, which is why a broader, systems-based approach can be helpful.

How I Approach Integrative Medicine
My background is in physical medicine and rehabilitation, which emphasizes function — how the body moves, adapts, and compensates.
Through additional training in integrative and functional medicine, I apply that same lens more broadly — looking at how metabolism, inflammation, hormones, and lifestyle factors interact.
In practice, this often includes:
- Taking a more detailed and context-driven history
- Reviewing labs within a broader clinical picture
- Looking for patterns rather than isolated findings
What This May Involve
Depending on the situation, integrative medicine evaluation may include:
- Nutritional status
- Digestive function and gut health
- Hormone levels
- Metabolic markers
- Inflammation and oxidative stress
Not every patient requires extensive testing. Recommendations are based on your history, symptoms, and clinical context.
Treatment Approach
Treatment plans are individualized and may include a combination of:
- Nutrition and dietary changes
- Sleep and recovery optimization
- Stress and nervous system support
- Targeted supplementation when appropriate
- Movement and physical function
In some cases, hands-on treatment may also be helpful in addressing areas of tension or restriction. When appropriate, this may include osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) as part of a broader plan.
The goal is to create a plan that is both practical and sustainable over time.
What Integrative Medicine Means in This Practice
Integrative medicine is often described broadly, but in practice it is grounded in clinical reasoning.
This approach does not replace conventional medical care or ignore standard diagnostics. Instead, it builds on that foundation — using additional tools and perspectives when appropriate.
If you are looking for an integrative medicine doctor in Nashville who takes a more thoughtful and individualized approach, this model of care may be a good fit.
This approach is grounded in a broader philosophy of care that emphasizes function, prevention, and individualized treatment. You can read more about that here → [Philosophy of Care]

Integrative Wellness Program and Fee Structure
Care is structured to allow for more time, continuity, and individualized planning than is typical in a standard medical setting.
While the initial visit is a standalone appointment, many patients benefit from a more structured approach over time. For that reason, follow-up care is often organized into short-term packages designed to support progress over a realistic timeline.
This structure allows for a more deliberate and measured approach, rather than trying to address complex issues in a single visit.
Initial Visit
The initial visit is a comprehensive, in-depth appointment and does not require commitment to a program.
This visit is an opportunity for us to better understand your history, symptoms, and goals, and to determine whether this approach is a good fit.
Includes:
- Review of prior labs and testing (when available, ideally submitted in advance)
- Comprehensive history and physical examination
- Initial clinical impressions and recommendations, including lifestyle considerations
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee: $250*
Ongoing Care Options
For patients who choose to continue, care is typically structured over a series of follow-up visits. These visits allow for a more thoughtful, stepwise approach — including reviewing testing, implementing changes, and adjusting the plan over time.
Option 1: 5-Visit Package
Designed for patients who are looking for a more comprehensive and sustained approach.
- 5 follow-up visits (60 minutes each; in-person or virtual)
- Total: $1,625* (paid upfront)
- Timeframe: Valid for 5 months from the initial visit
Typical structure:
- ~4 weeks after initial visit: review of testing and development of a more detailed plan
- Subsequent visits: ongoing assessment, adjustments, and support (~every 4 weeks)
Option 2: 3-Visit Package
A shorter-term option for patients with more focused goals or less complex concerns.
- 3 follow-up visits (60 minutes each; in-person or virtual)
- Total: $1,125* (paid upfront)
- Timeframe: Valid for 3 months from the initial visit
What’s Included in Ongoing Care
These packages are designed to provide continuity and access between visits.
- Unlimited written messaging access for brief questions and updates
- 15% discount on supplements purchased through the practice
- Discounted rates for osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM):
- $40 off 60-minute sessions
- $20 off 30-minute sessions
Additional Notes
Care is individualized, and not all patients require the same level of follow-up.
Recommendations for ongoing care are discussed after the initial visit based on your goals and clinical picture.
*This fee represents discounted cash price
Integrative Consulting
For patients who prefer a more focused, visit-by-visit approach, integrative consulting is available as an alternative to structured wellness programs.
These visits are designed to address specific concerns in a more targeted way, without the expectation of ongoing package-based care.
What to Expect
- Visits are scheduled individually and paid at the time of service
- Recommendations are more focused on the specific issue being addressed
- Communication outside of visits is limited to scheduling and logistics
- Medical advice and clinical recommendations are provided during scheduled appointments only
This approach may be appropriate for patients with more defined concerns or those not seeking a broader, longitudinal care model.
*This fee represents discounted cash price
Visit Structure and Fees
Follow-up visits are available in-person or virtually and are used to reassess progress, review prior recommendations, and make adjustments as needed.
- 60-minute visit: $450
- 30-minute visit: $250*
During these visits, we typically:
- Review response to prior recommendations
- Assess any new symptoms or changes
- Interpret laboratory results, when applicable

If you’re unsure where to start, you can begin by scheduling an initial visit.

- A Superbill can be provided upon request for potential reimbursement
- Coverage varies by plan, and reimbursement is not guaranteed
