FREE 10 minute Discovery Call ​with Dr. Jennifer Welch.

You'll discover that we're not your typical health office....

We leave "no stone unturned" to evaluate your health

If you qualify for care, you'll get our unparalleled service.

Here's what past & present patients have to say about their care....

We treat you Metabolically (with Functional Medicine & Clinical Nutrition) ​ and Neurologically (with brain-based therapy and NET)...
We combine evaluations of your metabolic and neurological systems to address the ROOT of your condition. We develop a specific nutritional and neurological program to holistically address your health, without relying on drugs or surgery to improve function and health.
Your diagnosis and past medical opinions are a starting point...  But we don't use those to guide our treatment.
​We start from the beginning, with an extensive history session, exam, and appropriate but comprehensive lab assessments.
If you are currently:
  • ​Frustrated with hearing that nothing is "wrong" yet you KNOW something isn't right...
  • Tired of getting referred from one doctor to another, but still not getting anywhere...
  • Sick of the medication merry-go-round...
  • Hoping to find someone who will LISTEN to you and will do whatever it takes to turn around your condition.... 
​If you answered YES to any of those questions, we may be the help you have been searching for.
​
​We offer comprehensive solutions to your health concerns.
​But not everyone is a fit for our office.
​We work with those who are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to turn around their health situation. We work with those that are serious about addressing their health.
Some of you may not be ready to commit to doing your part to take back your health. That's OK. We will be here for you when you're ready....

​Most of our patients have been to an average of 4-5 different providers, but they are still frustrated and discouraged.
​Some of them are told to take antidepressants (as a last resort!), or that "nothing is wrong."  Some are told "we'll wait and see what happens"... Or some of them have told me that they know something is wrong, have done their research and see what might be helpful, but can't find a provider who will listen to them and do the testing needed to really examine their case. 

​Most of our patients have said or are frustrated with:
  • ​I've been everywhere, but no one knows what's wrong with me. My tests are negative, but I'm still having symptoms...
  • I take a lot of supplements or vitamins, (usually from TV or internet research) but I'm still having problems...
  • I've had a lot of tests run, but no one can help me...
  • I take a lot of medications, but I'm feeling worse, not better.... Is their a non-medication way I can go that doesn't mask my symptoms or cause new ones?
  • ​My doctor says I need surgery, but I want to make sure I explore all my options first...​​
​​
If any of these statements sound like you, we may be a good fit to work together.

​At Iowa Functional Health, we leave no stone unturned to find the root causes of your health condition.
​We have extensive experience in working with patients who have: diabetes, chronic fatigue, thyroid disorders, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto's, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes Type 1 are examples), peripheral neuropathy, movement disorders, ADHD, chronic pain, and many other chronic conditions.
​
​If you've been to doctor after doctor but are still looking for answers, we can help!

​Our unique approach to health is unlike any other in Des Moines or all of Iowa. We often hear our patients say "this is the way healthcare SHOULD be".
