THE NOURISH TO FLOURISH™ METHOD
What to expect
If you’ve come to expect 15 minutes of attention per year from your doctor, now is the time to change your expectations! We know that understanding you as an individual and getting to the root cause takes time and attention. That’s why our program guides you through 3 deeply personalized phases of care.

-
Have you focused so much on your career, business, or family that your health has taken the back seat?
-
Are you doing all the right things (nutrition, workouts, yoga, you-name-it) but it’s not working?
-
Do you know about functional medicine and love the idea of advanced diagnostic testing?
The “trial & error” approach to medicine is outdated.

How many times have you seen a medical provider and been sent away with a prescription along with, “let’s try this and see what happens”?
This trial and error can cost you time, energy, money, and even your long-term health.
Not only that, but the risks are unnecessary because we have ways to remove the guesswork.
In the Nourish to Flourish program, we rely on gold-standard functional lab tests, like the DigestIQ, HormoneIQ, continuous glucose monitoring, and advanced biomarker labs. These tests guide treatment decisions and allow us to tailor and monitor protocols that are specific to you.

Your symptoms are NOT unrelated
Conventional medicine loves to separate the body into parts. You go to the gastroenterologist for your gut, the endocrinologist for your thyroid, and the gynecologist for your female parts.
But what if all of these are related?
In functional medicine, we know that it’s impossible to heal your hormones without also healing your gut. Or to heal your metabolism without also healing your hormones. Or to heal your (biggest health concern) without also healing (your smallest).
Our bodies are beautifully complex in their wisdom.
Finally, with functional medicine, we have a repeatable system to make sense of it all.

I can’t wait to support you.
Dr. Karolina here. I started my career in the conventional system, becoming a board-certified MD in internal medicine. I worked at one of the top-rated medical institutions in the country (and came close to becoming a gastroenterologist!).
But when I saw a pattern of the same patients coming back to the hospital again and again, getting worse despite our prescriptions, I knew there had to be a better way.
I found a better way with functional medicine.
Nourish to Flourish is based on a decade plus of honing my skills in functional medicine and working with women committed to an approach that not only gets symptom relief but also creates long-lasting health, wellness, and vitality over time.
I look forward to you being the next of those amazing women.
Frequently asked questions
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. It integrates advanced diagnostic testing with personalized treatment plans that consider the interconnectedness of the body’s systems, such as digestion, hormones, and metabolism.
The program is uniquely designed for women who are struggling with hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, metabolic dysfunction, or autoimmune conditions and are seeking a natural, data-driven approach to restore their health. It’s ideal for those who have not found lasting solutions through conventional medicine and want to address the root causes of their symptoms.
Please note that we can only accept patients into our functional medicine program who reside in Florida or Michigan.
Both! The first phase of care (Step 1: Explore) includes a 1:1 private consultation with Dr. Karolina to review advanced diagnostic testing and get a personalized plan. If you choose to continue with the second phase of care (Step 2: Enhance), you will have access to more 1:1 private doctor consultations as well as group health coaching sessions and direct messaging with your health coach.
The Nourish to Flourish program helps with hormonal imbalances (PCOS, PMS, menopause, etc.), digestive issues (bloating, SIBO, leaky gut), metabolic dysfunction (thyroid imbalance, insulin resistance), autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto’s, lupus, celiac disease), or any combination of unresolved chronic issues. The beauty of functional medicine is that the treatment does not depend on the diagnosis but on addressing the root cause.
Although Dr. Karolina is a medical doctor and has prescriptive authority, she aims to use the gentlest and least invasive therapies possible. This program includes recommendations for personalized nutrition, meal plans, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, mind-body therapies, and other natural approaches depending on your unique needs. If appropriate, Dr. Karolina will prescribe bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), typically through a compounding pharmacy.
Step 1 (Explore) includes one functional lab test (either HormoneIQ, HormoneIQ+, or DigestIQ). If you choose to continue with step 2 (Enhance), we will run the test that was not run in Step 1 as well as advanced biomarker labs and an option for continuous glucose monitoring.
Nowhere! The tests included as part of Step 1 are at-home tests. We will send you the test kit, and you can easily collect the samples (saliva or stool) from the comfort of your own home. When we order blood tests during Step 2, we have a phlebotomist who can come to your home to collect the samples. No need for extra appointments or travel time!
This program is designed to support you to restore and optimize your health over time. Step 1 typically takes about 1-2 months. Step 2 typically takes another 8-10 months. Once you have finished these phases of care, you will be invited to continue to get ongoing support through a monthly membership.
The $899 investment for Step 1 covers one functional lab test (either HormoneIQ, HormoneIQ+, or DigestIQ), a comprehensive wellness assessment, and a 20% discount on supplements through Fullscript. This phase typically lasts 1-2 months. While we encourage you to continue with Step 2 of care, there is no obligation to do so.
Insurance does not cover functional medicine services at this time, but it may cover some of the labs or imaging tests that we order. We do offer payment plans to help make the program more accessible.
