Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Dynamic NP Functional Wellness different?

I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all programs. As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner trained in functional and metabolic medicine, I use advanced labs to identify insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone imbalances — and create a personalized plan create a personalized plan to help you lose weight, balance hormones, improve metabolic health, and reduce modifiable risk factors associated with chronic disease.

 

Do you accept insurance?

At this time, Dynamic NP Functional Wellness is a self-pay practice. This allows me to spend more time with you, offer advanced testing, and provide highly personalized care that traditional insurance-based practices often cannot. Some labs or prescriptions may still be covered by your insurance. You can use your HSA/FSA and we can provide a superbill for any of our services.

 

Do you offer virtual appointments?

Dynamic NP Functional Wellness offers in-person appointments in West Chester, Pennsylvania by appointment, as well as virtual care for eligible patients located in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

 

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

GLP-1 medications can be an effective tool for eligible patients as part of a comprehensive medical weight-management and metabolic-health program. Treatment may support weight reduction and improvements in certain cardiometabolic risk factors when clinically appropriate.

​

Will I regain the weight after stopping GLP-1s?

Weight regain can occur after GLP-1 therapy is reduced or discontinued. Our approach focuses on nutrition, resistance training, metabolic health, sustainable lifestyle habits, and individualized maintenance planning to support long-term weight management.

 

Do you treat pre-diabetes and insulin resistance?

Absolutely. This is one of my specialties. Many patients come to me with “normal” labs but underlying insulin resistance and inflammation. We address this early to prevent progression to diabetes and long-term complications.

 

Do you offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

Yes. I specialize in bioidentical hormone optimization for women in perimenopause and menopause, as well as testosterone optimization when appropriate. Balancing hormones often improves weight loss, sleep, mood, libido, and energy.

No. Website and educational content is for general informational purposes and does not replace individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Treatment recommendations are made only after an appropriate clinical evaluation.

 

What kind of labs do you order?

Depending on your goals, I may order metabolic labs, insulin markers, A1c, lipid panels, thyroid labs, vitamin levels, inflammatory markers, and comprehensive hormone testing to uncover the true root cause of your symptoms.

 

How quickly will I see results?

Many patients notice reduced cravings, improved energy, and better blood sugar control within the first few weeks. Weight loss and hormone improvements typically continue steadily over the first 8–12 weeks.

 

Do you provide supplements?

Yes. I recommend high-quality, clinically proven supplements to support metabolism, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, gut health, and hormone balance — only when they are truly needed.
