Sometimes the key to better health isn’t adding more supplements or treatments, it’s removing what’s holding you back. Excessive caffeine, stimulants, stress, bad habits… these all block the way to true healing.
This year, I feel God leading me and many of my patients to look inward and ask: What needs to be removed from my life to find peace and health?

It’s not just about hormones or gut health.The mental, emotional, and spiritual center of who we are matters most. When we connect with our higher power and remove the distractions, healing flows naturally.

If you’re always chasing the next fix, maybe it’s time to pause and reflect on what God is telling you to let go of. Let’s build a foundation of rest, good sleep, healthy habits, and faith together.

Still dealing with symptoms no one can explain?

If you’ve bounced between specialists, tried medications, and still don’t feel like yourself, it may be time for a different approach. I work with chronic and complex cases by looking at the whole person, not isolated systems.

We take the time to understand your full history, address lifestyle foundations, and uncover root causes so you can finally move forward with a clear plan.

If you’re ready for real answers and a personalized approach to your health, reach out.

One of the most powerful tools I use in my practice is the Functional Medicine Matrix. It helps me see the full picture of your health and pinpoint what’s really driving your symptoms.

Before you sign up for another monthly online weight-loss program… pause.

I’m Will Koopal, and I help people uncover the real reasons their bodies aren’t cooperating. Too often, weight gain, food cravings, and hormone imbalances are treated with generic plans, but the truth is, your body has a story to tell.

I focus on:
• Finding the root cause of your weight and cravings
• Identifying hidden hormone and gut imbalances
• Creating sustainable lifestyle changes—not quick fixes
• Using tools like peptides such as Retatrutide and Tesamorelin, and GLP-1 support when appropriate

I’ve struggled with my own weight, so I know how frustrating it is to feel stuck. I approach every client without judgement and with strategies that actually work.

This year, stop guessing and start understanding your body. Visit willkoopal.com or DM me to begin.

Grateful for the chance to sit down with my mentor, Rebecca Joiner Hart, ANP-BC, IFMCP, Nurse Practitioner and Owner of Faith, Hope & Wellness . We talked about chronic, complex conditions like Lyme disease, co-infections, and mold exposure, and her patient-first, investigative approach to functional medicine that has shaped how I think as a clinician. Mentorship matters, and learning from someone who truly listens to patients and looks for root causes has been invaluable to my growth. Thankful for the guidance, wisdom, and willingness to share knowledge as I continue going down the rabbit hole of complex chronic disease.
