A different kind of first conversation

Your first visit with Dr. Jonathan M. Fields, DAOM, is mostly listening. He wants the whole timeline: when things changed, what was going on in your life at the time, what you eat on a real weekday, and how you sleep. He also asks what has already been tried. Many Coral Springs patients juggle school drop offs, a commute on the Sawgrass, and long workdays, so the plan has to fit that life. A plan you cannot follow is not a plan.

Bring what you already have

There is no need to start from zero. Bring:

• Recent lab reports from your primary care doctor, OB/GYN or endocrinologist.
• A list of your medications and any supplements in your cabinet.
• A few days of notes on food, energy and sleep, if you can.

Dr. Fields reads these as a set and looks for connections that are easy to miss when each specialist sees only one piece. When more testing makes sense, he explains why, so you can decide with your own physician.

Where functional medicine often helps

• Digestion: bloating, irregular bowels, reflux and food reactions. See gut health.
• Thyroid: ongoing fatigue and fog even with treatment. See thyroid support.
• Hormones: cycle changes, PMS and low energy. See hormonal imbalance.
• Midlife changes: hot flashes, sleep loss and weight shifts. See menopause.

What your plan can include

• Food changes chosen one or two at a time, not a whole new diet overnight.
• Targeted supplements, and only those with a clear reason to be there.
• Chinese herbal medicine when it fits safely with your other care.
• Acupuncture to support sleep, stress and digestion while the other changes take hold.
• Short check ins so the plan changes as you do.

Working with your doctors, not around them

Functional medicine here adds to your medical care; it does not replace it. Dr. Fields will not ask you to stop a prescription. He is glad to share notes you can take to your physicians, so everyone works from the same picture.

Why one provider matters
