Traditional healthcare often stops at a diagnosis, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, anxiety, IBS, and then treats the symptom with a medication.

Functional medicine asks why.
Instead of silencing symptoms, we look upstream at inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, hormones, gut health, toxic burden, insulin resistance, and stress physiology to uncover the actual trigger.

Your health deserves a deeper look.

If you're tired of quick fixes, unanswered questions, or feeling “not heard,” it may be time for a different approach.

At The Fork Functional Medicine Clinic, we go beyond the surface to uncover the why, personalize your healing, and guide you toward lasting, sustainable change.

Important update for women’s health

We’re sharing this video from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services because a significant shift has taken place in how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is being discussed at the federal level.

For years, warnings surrounding hormone therapy created fear and confusion for many women. Now, updated evidence is prompting federal health leaders and the FDA to clarify that, for most women, hormone replacement therapy is considered safe and effective when started at the right time and properly monitored.

Key points highlighted by current research and federal guidance:

The FDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are moving to remove outdated, overly broad warnings on many hormone therapies used during menopause.

Newer evidence shows that for many women-especially those who begin therapy within about ten years of menopause or before age sixty, the benefits often outweigh the risks.

Hormone therapy can significantly help with symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, low energy, and bone-loss risk.

Individual health history still matters. Timing, dosage, delivery method, and overall metabolic and cardiovascular health remain important in determining whether HRT is the right fit.

Why this matters:

For decades, millions of women have struggled through menopause symptoms without support because they were told hormone therapy was too risky. These updates open the door for more informed, personalized, evidence-based conversations about menopause care.

At The Fork Functional Medicine Clinic, this aligns closely with our approach: root-cause evaluation, individualized protocols, and a whole-body strategy that supports hormone balance through nutrition, detoxification, gut health, and lifestyle. This is an important shift in women’s health and an opportunity to revisit the conversation about menopause, symptoms, and individualized care.

Watch the video below, and if you have questions about your hormones, we are here to help you navigate your options with clarity and confidence.

Stop chasing symptoms and start asking why.

Your body’s symptoms aren’t random, they’re messages. Fatigue, bloating, brain fog, weight gain, mood swings...these are signs that something deeper needs attention.

At The Fork Clinic, we don’t just suppress symptoms. We search for the why.

Functional medicine looks at how your hormones, gut health, nutrition, stress, and detox pathways all work together. When you address the root cause, your body doesn’t just survive...it thrives.

Because true healing doesn’t come from masking discomfort. It comes from understanding your body’s story and giving it what it needs to restore balance.

MENOPAUSE: YOU WEREN’T MEANT TO “JUST SUFFER THROUGH IT.”

For generations, traditional medicine has conditioned women to believe that menopause is something we simply endure; hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, sleepless nights, brain fog, and emotional upheaval included.

But from a functional medicine perspective, menopause is not a sentence… it’s a signal. A sign that your hormones are shifting, and your whole body is asking for support, not dismissal.

The Truth About Hormonal Decline:
As estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone fall, the body experiences more than just annoying symptoms. Hormone depletion impacts nearly every system, and ignoring it can lead to long-term health concerns:

✅ Bone Loss & Osteoporosis - Estrogen is essential for bone density. When it drops, bone resorption accelerates, increasing fracture risk.
✅ Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia) - Lower testosterone and estrogen reduce lean muscle mass, affecting metabolism and strength.
✅ Insulin Resistance & Weight Gain - Hormones regulate blood sugar. When they decline, belly fat becomes more common.
✅ Cognitive Changes - Estrogen influences neurotransmitters, memory, and brain resilience.
✅ Cardiovascular Risk - Post-menopausal women have higher rates of heart disease because estrogen once acted as a protective factor.
✅ Thinning Hair, Skin, and Vaginal Atrophy - Hormones keep tissues hydrated, elastic, and strong.
✅ Mood Changes & Sleep Disturbances - Progesterone is calming. Estrogen stabilizes serotonin. Without them, anxiety and insomnia often rise.

These aren’t “just symptoms.” They’re biological consequences of hormonal depletion, and you deserve solutions, not dismissal.

At The Fork Clinic, we help women reclaim their bodies, their energy, and their joy, without settling for a life of symptoms.

If you're experiencing signs of hormone imbalance and want clarity, answers, and a REAL STRATEGY, we’re here for you.

Call us at (615) 721-8008
Ask for Rhonda to schedule your free phone consultation.

You don’t have to suffer.
You can heal.
And we’d be honored to help you get there.

Most people think of tooth decay as “just a dental issue,” but research is showing something much bigger: chronic decay, infections, and oral bacteria can impact your whole-body health, even long-term cancer risk.

Studies now link poor oral health, missing teeth, and high levels of pathogenic oral bacteria (like Fusobacterium) to increased risk of colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal, gastric, and head & neck cancers.

This doesn’t mean tooth decay causes cancer.
But it does show that chronic inflammation, hidden infections, and oral–gut microbiome disruption matter far more than we were ever taught.

Your mouth is the beginning of your digestive system, immune system, and microbiome.

When something is wrong there, the whole body responds.

If you’re dealing with ongoing dental issues, chronic inflammation, fatigue, gut problems, or unexplained symptoms, it’s worth looking deeper. Functional medicine can help you understand the root cause, and support healing from the inside out.

When blood sugar spikes and crashes, your hormones, energy, and metabolism all pay the price. If you’ve been doing everything ‘right’ and still feel stuck, this may be the hidden link your body has been trying to tell you about.

Chyrl Mosley, FNP-BC, and founder of Mission YOU and The Fork Clinic says, "Blood sugar imbalance is one of the most overlooked root causes of fatigue, cravings, mood swings, stubborn weight, and hormonal chaos.

And the truth is, no supplement, detox, or diet will fully work until blood sugar is stable."

The good news?
Small daily shifts in food, movement, sleep, and stress can create massive improvements in how you feel.

Watch for our new blog on November 15th which talks about how blood sugar impacts your symptoms, and what to do about it.
