About Rachael
Hi, I’m Rachael Taylor, FNP-C.
After years of practicing traditional medicine, I noticed something that never sat right with me.
Too many patients were told their labs were “normal” even though they knew they didn't feel well.
They felt unheard.
They felt frustrated.
They deserved better.
That's why I created Rachael Functional Medicine.
I wanted to build a practice where patients feel listened to, cared for, and truly understood.
I'm passionate about helping people who have been told “everything looks normal” but still don't feel well. I believe your symptoms are a clue—not the whole story.
My approach combines evidence-based medicine with functional medicine to find the underlying root cause, not just mask symptoms. I look at the whole body—hormones, gut health, inflammation, nutrition, lifestyle, and more—to create personalized plans that support true healing and long-term wellness.
I know how frustrating it is to feel dismissed. You deserve answers, a plan, and a provider who truly listens. I'm here to walk alongside you on your health journey.
You don’t have to settle for just feeling okay.
You deserve to feel your best.

Why I Look Beyond “Normal” Labs
Many traditional lab ranges are based on population averages—not optimal function. You can be inside the “normal” range and still feel terrible.
I use advanced testing and a functional approach to uncover imbalances early, so we can address them before they turn into bigger issues.
My goal is not just to help you manage your symptoms—but to help you get to the root, restore balance, and create a life of energy, clarity, and vitality.
What Matters Most
Compassion
You are more than your symptoms. I see the whole you.
Curiosity
I ask why. I look deeper. I never stop searching for answers.
Integrity
Honest, transparent care you can trust.
Excellence
Committed to ongoing learning and the highest standard of care.
Partnership
We work together—your goals are my priority.
Root-Cause Focus
We address the underlying cause for lasting change.
Ready to uncover the root cause and feel like yourself again?
I’d love to help you on your journey to better health.
