Functional medicine is a whole-person, individualized approach that looks for the underlying causes of pain and health problems instead of only treating symptoms. It considers your history, nutrition, lifestyle, hormones, and environment, then builds a personalized plan with you.
At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, our functional medicine program is offered entirely by telehealth, so you can take part from home anywhere in Michigan. It is led by registered nurses Haley Sardelli and Kailee Sardelli, co-founders of Lumora Functional Health, working alongside our physicians.
How Functional Medicine Works

Your care starts with listening. Your team reviews your complete medical history, lifestyle, and specific concerns, often mapping them on a functional medicine timeline that shows triggers, genetics, and life events. From there, a detailed plan is built to address the root causes of how you feel.
Testing may include advanced blood panels, hormone testing, stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, or other labs, depending on your goals. Plans usually focus on nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and targeted supplements.
Who May Benefit?
- Chronic pain, inflammation, and joint or muscle problems
- Fatigue and low energy
- Digestive concerns
- Hormone imbalance
- Metabolic concerns such as blood sugar and weight
- Anyone who wants a proactive, preventive plan
Functional medicine can also complement regenerative treatments such as PRP or stem cell therapy, since nutrition and inflammation can affect how well you heal.
What to Expect From Telehealth Visits
Visits happen online, so there is no drive to the office. Lab work can usually be arranged near you. Results vary by person and condition: some people feel better in weeks, while others take months.
