Functional Medicine for Fatigue, Gut Health + Hormonal balance

You’re eating clean, exercising, and doing all the ‘right’ things—but you’re still exhausted, bloated, breaking out, or stuck at the same weight.

At Foundations Functional Medicine, we uncover the root causes of fatigue, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and stubborn weight—so you can finally feel like yourself again.

You don’t need more guessing, you need a root cause partner.

Guessing about your health often leads to years of frustration, wasted money on supplements and quick fixes, and the risk of chronic illness down the road. My approach is different:

  • Personalized one-on-one care — virtual visits, consults, and membership options designed around you.

  • Advanced testing — blood, hormone, gut health test, and food panels to reveal what’s really going on.

  • Root-cause health plans — personalized strategies to combat fatigue, improve gut health, balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support sustainable weight loss — all without a cookie-cutter approach

With functional medicine and personalized lab testing, we’ll create a lifestyle-first plan that helps you feel vibrant, balanced, and fully yourself again.

Our Approach

Foundations Functional Medicine blends the art of listening with the science of advanced lab testing and a practical, step-by-step plan that fits real life.

Instead of endless trial-and-error, you get a clear roadmap that connects gut health, hormones, energy, and skin—because your body doesn’t work in silos.

Outcomes

Most of my patients start feeling a difference within 6–8 weeks—better energy, clearer skin, less food reactivity/ gut issues, and weight that finally budges.

By the end of the program, 8 out of 10 report sleeping better, having steadier moods/energy, and feeling like themselves again.

I’m Dr. Jen Dufala. I’ve been where you are—exhausted, bloated, breaking out, and convinced it was ‘just hormones.’ I spent hours googling symptoms, asking myself: What’s wrong with my body? Why do I feel this way?

That struggle is what led me to functional medicine and why I’m passionate about helping others finally get real answers to their complex health issues.

Testimonials

Dr. Dufala has been absolutely incredible with my care! I have had increasing health concerns that have been brushed off or downplayed by many modern doctors. I had seen so many specialists come up with different treatment plans, mostly consisting of medications that helped mask symptoms but did not actually make the problem go away. The first time I talked to Dr. Dufala, I felt SO validated, like someone was actually hearing my concerns for the first time. In just a few appointments, she came up with a plan and found so many answers for me. Not only have I noticed a difference in how I feel, I had friends and family notice as well. I rave about her to everyone I meet and I cannot recommend her enough! If you're struggling with feeling your best, it is absolutely worth the investment in you!!!

Foundations FM Client

Dr. Jen Dufala is amazing. She helped with IBS issues and added bonus was I no longer had cravings and lost weight after my gut issues were resolved. Also other infections and skin issues were cleared up. I can’t thank her enough! She is so caring and really spends the time to investigate the issues. Highly recommend seeing her!!
