The gut controls immune function, hormone metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and inflammation. Standard care offers elimination diets and antacids. We run a comprehensive stool analysis that shows exactly what’s growing, what’s missing, and what’s inflamed, then build a protocol around those results.
Our patients stop bloating, identify their real trigger foods, resolve SIBO, and feel comfortable in their bodies again. Most see meaningful improvement within eight to twelve weeks.

Asked Questions
Why Is Our Program 6 Months?
If you've been struggling with your health for years, it's unrealistic to expect your body to completely turn things around in a few weeks. We often ask patients to think about how long they've been dealing with their symptoms. If you've felt unwell for 5, 10, or even 20 years, giving your body six months to start addressing what has been going on is actually a relatively short period of time. That doesn't mean it takes six months to start feeling better. Our goal is for you to begin seeing progress much sooner. But functional medicine is not a one visit approach. Finding the problem is only the beginning.
What happens during those 6 months?
We review your full picture. Your program opens with a walkthrough of your Initial Visit results, in context, tied to your history and symptoms. We build your personalized plan. Instead of a one size fits all protocol, your recommendations come from your own history, symptoms, and test results. We give your body time to respond. This matters. We need enough time to put your plan into action, see what is working, and understand what may still need attention. We adjust as we go. Your plan is not static. As your symptoms change and we learn more, we can modify your treatment, repeat testing when appropriate, and keep moving you forward. We help you maintain your progress. Our goal is not to hand you a list of supplements and send you on your way. We want you to understand your health and leave the program with a plan for what comes next.
How does the process work?
It starts with a 75-minute Initial Visit with Dr. Skrzypek: your health history, symptoms, and what you've already tried. From there, she orders the testing that fits your picture, whether that's DUTCH, GI-MAP, a full thyroid panel, or advanced metabolic work. If you enroll in the 6-Month Program, she reviews every result with you in detail and builds your personalized root-cause plan.
Is NaturaMed covered by insurance?
NaturaMed does not accept insurance. Some services may qualify for health spending accounts such as an HSA or FSA. The cost of any recommended testing is reviewed with you before it is ordered.

How We Test
The GI-MAP changes everything.
While standard care guesses at symptoms, the GI-MAP stool analysis gives us a precise look at your microbiome, pathogens, inflammation markers, and gut lining integrity, so your protocol is built on data, not trial and error.

Chronic Fatigue
Every traditional doctor I saw wanted to prescribe something to make the symptoms go away, but no one would take my concerns about hormones seriously. The results have been remarkable.
Ashlee
Graves Disease, Autoimmune
I told Dr. Skrzypek I'd be happy to live to 80. She looked at me and said, 'I'm going to try and help you live to 100.' By March, two of the three markers are moving in the right direction.
Mary
Hypothyroidism
Dr. Skrzypek looks at you as a whole person and finds the root cause. If I had found her sooner, I wouldn't be 55 having gone through an autoimmune condition and having my thyroid removed.

How is NaturaMed different from my regular doctor?
Most doctors have 15 minutes and a standard panel. We have 75-minute visits, 300+ biomarkers, and a protocol built specifically for your biology, not a symptom checklist. We look for the root cause of why you feel the way you do, not just what to prescribe next.
Do you offer telemedicine? What states do you serve?
Yes. We offer telemedicine appointments for patients in Florida, Michigan, and Texas. All visits are conducted virtually, so you can access the same level of care from anywhere in those states.
What conditions do you treat?
We specialize in hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, chronic fatigue, gut health, perimenopause, weight loss resistance, and metabolic issues. If you've been told your labs are normal but still feel terrible, that's exactly who we're here for.
How does the process work?
It starts with a 75-minute Initial Visit with Dr. Skrzypek: your health history, symptoms, and what you've already tried. From there, she orders the testing that fits your picture, whether that's DUTCH, GI-MAP, a full thyroid panel, or advanced metabolic work. If you enroll in the 6-Month Program, she reviews every result with you in detail and builds your personalized root-cause plan.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients notice meaningful shifts in energy, sleep, and mood within eight to twelve weeks. Root-cause correction is a process: full resolution of deeper issues like gut dysfunction or hormone imbalance typically takes longer, over the course of the 6-month program.
Is NaturaMed covered by insurance?
NaturaMed does not accept insurance. Some services may qualify for health spending accounts such as an HSA or FSA. The cost of any recommended testing is reviewed with you before it is ordered.
Can I still work with my current doctor?
Absolutely. We work alongside your existing care team. We don't ask you to stop any current medications and will never make changes to your treatment without a clear, discussed plan. Think of us as an extension of your care, not a replacement.
