Functional Medicine Consultation to Own Your Health
A Tailored Approach to Care
Chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and low energy. These are common issues that millions of people continuously experience without any apparent cause, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Starting with a functional medicine consultation at Arkum Medical Associates can help you discover the root of your problem to treat the cause, not only the symptoms. If you’re interested in finding the answers to your health-related questions, get in touch with us.
Personalized Health Plan Through Functional Medicine Consultation
Dr. Petrik and the team at Arkum Medical Associates approach your care with a targeted and exhaustive evaluation. This is not a simple routine check-up; it is an examination grounded in advanced integrative medicine and an analysis of your unique anatomy. Think about comprehensive lab results and wearable health monitors, both tools to evaluate your hormones, metabolism, immunity, and lifestyle for the team to design a care plan tailored for you. No two patients are the same; thus, no two treatment plans are alike.
The model is a simple and structured three-step process: a discovery call, a foundational assessment, and an ongoing 12-month membership for sustained results that match your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a functional medicine consultation?
During a functional medicine consultation, the doctor starts by evaluating your health as a whole, including your medical history, lifestyle habits, genetics, and biomarkers to build a complete picture. This is the foundation for the plan, strategy, and every recommendation made.
Can functional doctors prescribe medication?
Yes, some functional medicine doctors can prescribe medication, but only if they have the authority to do so. This requires them to be a medical doctor (MD), doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO), nurse practitioner (NP), or physician assistant (PA). At Arkum, Dr. Petrik, our board-certified physician, has the authority to prescribe medications when necessary.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Prepare your medical history, list of current medications or supplements, and outline your symptoms timeline; additionally, be ready to start a life-changing journey that requires commitment.
