Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a functional medicine supplement protocol?
A functional medicine supplement protocol is a personalized set of professional-grade supplements chosen based on your specific lab results and genetics, rather than a generic multivitamin or trending product. At Monarch Functional Medicine, this is built from comprehensive lab testing and genetic analysis, available in Marquette, Michigan and virtually in Michigan.
How is this different from picking supplements myself?
Supplements chosen without testing are essentially a guess. Your protocol is built from your actual lab results, targeting confirmed deficiencies and patterns rather than general wellness trends.
Does genetic testing really determine which supplements I need?
Genetic testing highlights predispositions and tendencies, such as methylation-related variants, that can help inform your protocol. It is one input alongside your labs and symptoms, not a definitive, standalone prescription, since the science connecting specific genes to specific supplements is still evolving in some areas.
Can my supplement protocol be managed virtually?
Yes. Supplement protocols are built and shipped to patients anywhere in Michigan, with adjustments made during virtual consultations.
When do I receive my supplement protocol?
Your initial protocol typically begins during the first phase of the 12-Week Reset (The 12 Week Reset is our foundational program, and where every patient begins. Comprehensive bloodwork (including hormones) and genetic testing give us a clear picture of what’s driving how you feel — so we can build your specific plan across Nutrition, Sleep, Stress, Supplements, and Mindfulness, the foundation functional medicine builds on), once your baseline labs and genetic testing are reviewed, and is refined as the program progresses.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required. You can book a free 15-minute strategy call to get started.
Is the supplement protocol included in the program cost?
Protocol design is included as part of the 12-Week Energy, Hormone and Metabolism Reset (The 12 Week Reset is our foundational program, and where every patient begins. Comprehensive bloodwork (including hormones) and genetic testing give us a clear picture of what’s driving how you feel — so we can build your specific plan across Nutrition, Sleep, Stress, Supplements, and Mindfulness, the foundation functional medicine builds on), priced at $849 paid in full or three payments of $297.
