You’ve been told your labs are “normal”
Yet you’re still exhausted, bloated, or just not feeling like yourself.
You’ve tried tests, medications, supplements and protocols, but you still don't have clear answers or lasting relief.
That disconnect is real, and frustrating.
Functional medicine doesn't just look at labs, it looks at you, and connects the dots.

Our Approach
At Foundations
We listen
We run the right labs
We explain what’s actually been happening in your body

Just a clear roadmap that connects your gut, hormones, energy, and skin because your body works as one system.
What Patients Typically Experience
Most of my patients start feeling a difference within 6–8 weeks
Better energy
clearer skin
Improved gut issues
Weight that finally budges.
By the end of our programs 8 out of 10 report sleeping better, having steadier moods/energy, getting sick less, 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!!!

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!!
