What functional medicine covers
Look at patterns across systems, not one symptom in isolation.
The current Cultiv8 website organizes conditions into four broad groups. This is not an exhaustive list and does not mean every condition is treated the same way.
- Hormones and metabolism
- Gut and immune concerns
- Brain and mood symptoms
- Chronic or complex concerns
- Sleep and stress-related concerns
- Healthy-aging goals
Appointments are available in the Boise office, and the current site also states that secure video visits are available.
What to expect
Three steps from history to follow-up.
Functional Testing
When appropriate, lab testing may examine hormones, nutrient status, inflammatory or autoimmune markers, stool testing and more.
Follow-Ups
The personalized health plan is reviewed against your objectives and adjusted as clinically appropriate.

No. Cultiv8 presents testing as part of a personalized process. The provider determines what testing is appropriate for your symptoms and history.
Can I meet by secure video?
Yes. The current website says patients may visit the Boise office or meet with the provider by secure video.
