How a Complimentary Consult at STAT Wellness Charleston Can Change Your Health Trajectory
Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment thinking, “Well… that didn’t help”?
You’re not imagining it. Nearly 1 in 3 patients leave medical visits with unanswered questions—leading to frustration, delayed care, and poorer outcomes. That’s exactly why we offer a free 15-minute consult at STAT Wellness Charleston.
This brief, no-pressure conversation is designed to help you clarify your health concerns, understand your options, and decide whether a functional medicine approach is the right next step—for you.
Why So Many Patients Feel Overlooked in Traditional Healthcare
Modern healthcare is efficient… but often at the expense of actual care.
Common frustrations we hear every week:
Short, rushed appointments with little time for questions
Surface-level answers to complex symptoms
Fragmented care across multiple providers
Being told labs are “normal” while you still feel awful
At STAT Wellness Charleston, we do things differently—starting with time, listening, and context.

What Is a Free 15-Minute Functional Medicine Consult?
This is not a sales call and not a rushed intake form disguised as a visit.
It’s a focused conversation to:
Understand your primary health concerns
Review what you’ve already tried (and why it didn’t work)
Identify whether functional medicine is appropriate for your case
Outline clear next steps—with zero obligation
Think of it as a clarity session for your health.
What You’ll Gain From Your Free Consult
1. Personalized Attention (Yes, Actually Personalized)
You’ll speak directly with a provider who listens first and talks second. We want the full picture—not just a symptom list.
2. A Better Understanding of Your Root Issues
We look at patterns involving:
Hormones
Gut health
Metabolism
Immune function
Stress, sleep, and lifestyle
No guessing. No generic advice.
3. Honest Feedback on Next Steps
We’ll tell you:
Whether we can help
What testing or evaluations may be useful
What a full new-patient visit would include
If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say that too. Integrity matters.
Why Ignoring Ongoing Symptoms Is Risky
Unaddressed health issues don’t usually disappear—they escalate.
Potential consequences include:
Worsening chronic symptoms (fatigue, gut issues, hormone imbalances)
Delayed diagnosis of thyroid, metabolic, or autoimmune conditions
Increased anxiety or burnout from feeling dismissed
Years spent chasing symptoms instead of fixing root causes
A short conversation now can prevent a much longer problem later.
What Happens During the 15-Minute Consult?
Your consult typically includes three parts:
1. Clarifying Your Health Goals
Fatigue? Weight resistance? Hormone concerns? Gut issues? We start with what matters most to you.
2. Reviewing Potential Testing or Approaches
We discuss whether labs, movement assessments, or lifestyle interventions may be appropriate—no commitments required.
3. Mapping Out Next Steps
If it makes sense, we’ll explain what a comprehensive 60-minute new patient visit looks like and how care is personalized from there.
How to Prepare for Your Free Consult
To get the most value:
Jot down your top 1–2 concerns
Note any diagnoses, labs, or treatments you’ve tried
Come curious—and honest
You don’t need perfect wording. You just need to show up.
Why Functional Medicine at STAT Wellness Charleston Is Different
We practice root-cause, patient-centered functional medicine, meaning:
✔ Whole-Body Perspective
We connect hormones, digestion, metabolism, mental health, and lifestyle—not silo them.
✔ Preventive & Proactive Care
The goal isn’t just symptom control—it’s long-term resilience and function.
✔ Collaborative Care
You’re not a passive patient. You’re an informed partner in your health plan.
Real Outcomes Start With One Conversation
Many patients tell us the consult alone was the first time they felt:
Heard
Understood
Given a logical explanation for their symptoms
And no—that’s not “too much to ask.” That’s baseline care.
