Chronic illness can be overwhelming, especially when you’ve visited multiple doctors, tried different medications, and still feel like something is “wrong.” Many patients are told their labs are normal, their symptoms are unrelated, or that stress is the cause, yet their health continues to decline.
At HealthfullyU, we understand how frustrating and isolating chronic illness can be. That’s why our approach is different. Instead of masking symptoms, we focus on uncovering the root cause behind your health challenges. Led by Dr. Brad Montagne, a functional medicine practitioner specializing in chronic illness, our clinic provides personalized, whole-body care for patients across the USA through online consultations.
Whether you’re dealing with Lyme disease, leaky gut, mold toxicity, hormonal issues, chronic fatigue, or unexplained symptoms, our functional medicine clinic aims to give you answers, clarity, and a clear path to healing.
What Makes Functional Medicine Different?
Functional medicine looks at the body as a connected system, not separate parts. Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, we look for the deeper reasons behind chronic illness.
Functional Medicine Focuses On:
✔ Root-cause analysis
✔ Whole-body healing
✔ Personalized treatment plans
✔ Advanced functional testing
✔ Nutrition & lifestyle optimization
✔ Restoring long-term balance
This approach is especially effective for chronic conditions that do not respond to conventional care.
Why Chronic Illness Requires a Different Approach
Chronic illness rarely develops overnight. It’s the result of:
- Environmental toxins
- Gut imbalances
- Undiagnosed infections
- Chronic inflammation
- Hormonal disruptions
- Poor detoxification
- Food sensitivities
- Stress
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
When these factors build up, your system becomes overwhelmed and symptoms begin to appear.
But instead of asking “How do we suppress symptoms?”, functional medicine asks:
“Why is your body reacting this way in the first place?”
This question changes everything.

Testing is selected based on your symptoms, not a generic template.
