There are many providers who label their approach as “Functional Medicine,” yet still operate within a “pill for every ill” mindset—offering quick fixes, the next miracle supplement, or a single “life-changing” hack, without ever addressing the full picture. We know this because we hear it from patients all the time.

At Mint, we take a fundamentally different approach. We utilize the Functional Medicine Matrix developed by The Institute for Functional Medicine—the gold standard in Functional Medicine training.
This framework allows us to step back and look at the entire story: your history, genetics, environment, lifestyle, and the interconnected systems of the body. Instead of chasing symptoms, we identify root causes, uncover patterns, and understand how imbalances in one area can impact another.
The result is a truly personalized, comprehensive plan—focused on restoring function, not just managing symptoms.

POV: You tried fasting … and your hormones said NOPE😳💔.

Here’s some facts you may not know 👀🔥

03/27/2026

Fasting isn’t one-size-fits-all… ESPECIALLY for women because our hormones changed constantly due to our cycle!!! Fasting is different in men than women due to our bodies run differently due to hormones!! Men hormones cycles every 24 hour while women cycles monthly.
Support your hormones don’t stress them! 🤍

Surgery is an essential tool that we are very lucky to have such minimally invasive and safe options for!

BUT, cutting into the body, disrupting the fascial and muscular planes to say the least, and maybe removing an organ, should certainly be a solution of LAST resort

Unnecessary hysterectomies are often driven by a combination of financial incentives for providers, limited awareness of less-invasive alternatives, and cultural misconceptions about the uterus, with some studies suggesting a significant portion of, for instance, fibroid-related surgeries may not be necessary. Key drivers include pressure from doctors, fear of cancer, and misdiagnosis.

I’m very happy to recommend a hysterectomy when that is truly needed, but I always offer multiple ways to work on a problem! Often, working on hormones, inflammation, nutrients, muscular/fascial problems, and other root causes can do the trick!

The uterus (and ovarian health) is very often a barometer signaling the need for attention to deeper levels of root cause resolution!
Let’s take a listen rather than just evacuate it and think we’re done!!!

Heavy Pack 🎒 Clear Mind 🧘🏽‍♀️Just Keep Moving 🚶🏽‍♀️..

Rucking (walking with a weighted backpack) builds muscle by adding resistance to natural movement, strengthening the legs, glutes, back, shoulders, and core. It functions as “active resistance training” that increases metabolic demand, burning more calories than walking while strengthening postural muscles and boosting muscular endurance.
