Real ResultsIs This You?
Most of our patients arrive after years of searching for answers. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
You've been told your labs are "normal" but you feel terrible
You've seen multiple doctors with no real answers
You're exhausted, foggy, and can't figure out why
You're on multiple medications but still not well
You suspect something deeper is going on
You've been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition
You struggle with weight despite doing "everything right"
You have gut issues that no one has been able to resolve
You want to understand the root cause — not just manage symptoms
You Deserve More Than 7 Minutes and a Prescription.
7-Minute Visits, Lifetime Prescriptions
The average conventional visit lasts 7 minutes — barely enough time to write a prescription, let alone investigate why you're sick in the first place.
"Normal" Labs That Miss Dysfunction
Standard reference ranges are drawn from a sick population. You can be in the bottom 2.5% of a diseased group and still be told everything looks 'fine.'
Symptom Management, Not Root-Cause Resolution
Conventional care matches a diagnosis to a drug. We match your symptoms to the underlying dysfunction — gut, hormones, toxins, nutrients — and correct it.
No Pathway Off Medication
You're told you'll be on this medication forever. We build a plan to restore function so you can work with your prescriber to reduce or eliminate medication.
60–90 minutes of real investigation
We listen. We investigate. We build a plan that's uniquely yours — backed by 200+ biomarkers, not guesswork.
Your Path to Healing
A clear, structured process designed to uncover your root causes and build a personalized roadmap back to health.

Monthly or as neededWhat to Expect
Transparency is core to our practice. Here's what you should know before becoming a patient.
Time to Invest
Functional medicine is not a quick fix. Expect 3–6 months to see significant, lasting improvements — though many patients feel better within weeks.
100% Virtual
All appointments are conducted via secure video call. You can be seen from anywhere in the US — no travel, no waiting rooms, no rushed visits.
Comprehensive Testing
We run advanced labs not typically ordered by conventional doctors. These tests reveal hidden imbalances that are often the true root cause of your symptoms.
Open Communication
You'll have direct access to Dr. Mannie's team between visits. Questions are welcomed and answered — we want you to feel supported throughout your journey.
Insurance & Costs
We are a cash-pay practice. While we don't accept insurance directly, many patients use HSA/FSA funds. We provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Active Participation
You are a partner in your healing. The best results come when patients are committed to the dietary, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations in their protocol.

His approach goes beyond symptom management: he investigates the root causes driving chronic illness and builds personalized protocols that restore true, lasting health.

"I've seen patients who were dismissed for years finally get real answers and real results. That's why I do this work."
Real People. Real Results.
These are the stories of patients who were told there was nothing more that could be done — and who chose to look deeper.
"I was told I'd just have to live with the fatigue. Dr. Mannie proved them wrong."
"After 4 years on Metformin and still feeling exhausted, Dr. Mannie found my issue was cellular resistance and gut inflammation. Within 90 days on his protocol, my energy is back and I've lost 15 pounds that wouldn't budge before."
"I was told I'd just have to live with the fatigue. Dr. Mannie proved them wrong. Within 90 days on his protocol, my energy is back and I've lost 15 pounds that wouldn't budge before."
"I was told my fasting glucose was 'normal' — meaning they had no idea why I felt so terrible. The functional labs revealed elevated fasting insulin and systemic inflammation. The targeted protocol changed everything."
"As a nurse, I was skeptical of anything outside conventional medicine. But when conventional medicine failed my Type 2 Diabetes for three years, I had nothing to lose. The root cause approach is exactly what I wish I had been taught."
"The difference between this approach and everything else I tried is that it actually makes sense. They found the cause — chronic gut inflammation and heavy metal toxicity triggering my immune system — and addressed it systematically."
"I had given up on ever having energy to play with my grandkids. The functional protocol — particularly the gut healing and targeted nutrient support — gave me my life back."
"Three specialists and a decade of suffering. One functional consultation changed the trajectory completely. My metabolic dysfunction had a root cause — and now it has a solution."
"I lost 47 pounds with Dr. Mannie's protocol without starving or resorting to injections. I sleep better, my anxiety is down, and I have boundless energy throughout the day."
