Alabama Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice with offices in Montgomery and Auburn. For more than 30 years, Ryan McWhorter, MD, IFMCP has worked with patients whose problems did not fit neatly into a fifteen-minute visit.
We take the time to understand the whole picture, test for what is actually going on, and build a plan with you rather than for you.
Many of our own team members arrived the same way, as patients first. It is part of why the practice listens the way it does.
Symptoms are information. We use advanced testing and a careful history to understand what is driving them before we decide what to do.
First appointments are long on purpose. You will not be rushed, and you will not have to prove that what you feel is real.
Hormones, gut, immune system, nervous system and stress affect each other. We look at them together, because your body does not separate them.
Conventional diagnostics and medicine where they serve you; nutrition, detoxification, regenerative and energy-based therapies where they fit. Nothing is chosen because it is trendy.
Most patients arrive with a problem that has gone on too long. These are the six we see most.
Perimenopause, menopause, thyroid and testosterone concerns. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
Fatigue that rest does not fix.
Often connected to hormones, stress and pelvic health, and rarely discussed.
A clinical focus of the practice for many years. Pelvic, urinary and sexual health
Not sure your situation fits? Functional Foundations is the easiest way to find out.
Every patient’s plan is built on the Saluxis Method, the four-part framework Dr. McWhorter developed over 30 years of practice. It gives structure to care that would otherwise feel like guesswork.
The four parts are not steps you graduate from. They layer and support each other for as long as you are in our care.
Clear what is in the way.
Restore what is missing.
Calm immune and nervous systems.
Retrain brain and body patterns.
His goal is for everyone to live their best, healthiest life. He is kind, compassionate, and so very smart.
