FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Personalized Functional Medicine in Salem, MA
What is Functional Medicine?
At Copley Acupuncture, Functional Medicine is a patient-first, whole-body approach to healing. Rather than chasing symptoms, we look for the deeper causes of chronic illness, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, fatigue, and fertility challenges.
If you’ve been feeling unheard or passed around by conventional providers, you're not alone. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with complex digestive issues and those trying to conceive—especially when answers have been hard to find.
​
How It Works
The first steps in helping you get to the root of your issue is to ask the questions:
- Why is this happening?
- What’s the root cause?
- How are your systems interconnected?
Functional Medicine asks better questions. By investigating patterns, timelines, and advanced lab work, we uncover what's really driving your symptoms—so you can finally start healing.

Specialty Areas
Digestive Health
From IBS and SIBO to unexplained bloating or food sensitivities—I help patients who’ve “tried everything” finally find relief. We use advanced testing, targeted supplements, and custom nutrition plans to restore gut function.
Functional Fertility
Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or with IUI/IVF, I dig deeper into hidden factors: hormones, nutrient status, gut health, and more—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
​
Testing & Process
Your care begins with an in-depth consultation and lab review. From there, we may explore:
- DUTCH hormone & adrenal testing
- Gut microbiome and GI testing
- Nutritional and micronutrient panels
- Toxicity or mold exposure
- Autoimmunity, inflammation, and thyroid function
