Waking up with energy. Thinking clearly. Feeling strong, capable, connected, and at home in your body. Having enough in the tank for your work, your relationships, your workouts, your family, and the things you actually love doing.
At Alabama Functional Medicine, we don’t see a collection of separate problems to chase. We look at how your body is functioning as a whole, all the way down to the cells that create energy, communicate, repair, respond, and keep everything working together. Because when the body functions better, life can feel different too.
Fatigue, brain fog, thyroid and hormone changes, gut trouble, pelvic pain: we hear these stories every week, often from women who have been told their labs look fine. We treat them as signals that something in the body isn’t functioning as well as it could.
Pain isn’t a normal part of any stage of a woman’s life, and a “normal” lab range isn’t the same as feeling well.
The goal is a body that functions well. The Saluxis Method is how we get there. Therapies, supplements, nutrition, sleep, and testing are the tools we use along the way, chosen for you.
Clearing what’s driving inflammation and dysfunction.
Restoring what your body is missing.
Recalibrating hormones, gut, and metabolism.
Building the habits and support designed to help progress last.
Functional medicine takes a whole-body approach to healthcare. Instead of only asking, “What symptoms are you experiencing?” it goes a step further and asks, “Why are these symptoms happening in the first place?”
Instead of matching a symptom to a prescription, The Saluxis Method looks at how your hormones, gut, immune system, and metabolism are connected, often through deeper testing like free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies instead of TSH alone, and a personalized plan built around your specific biology.
This isn’t a replacement for your primary care doctor or OB/GYN. It’s what many women need in addition, especially when symptoms cross too many specialties for one provider to connect.
A Place for Hope
Ryan McWhorter, MD, IFMCP, has spent more than 30 years caring for patients across Alabama. His advanced training through the Institute for Functional Medicine, along with further study in cardiometabolic health, hormone therapy, and cellular medicine, shapes how our whole care team looks for the reason behind a symptom.

Functional Foundations is your chance to get to know us from the comfort of home, with no commitment, pressure, or obligation. Learn how we may be able to help, then decide whether you’d like to take the next step and book your first appointment.
Whether it’s easier for you to visit us in Montgomery or Auburn, you’ll get the same whole-body approach, the same attentive care team, and the same commitment to actually finding out what’s going on in your body. Both offices share one number: call or text (334) 819-8190, and our front desk team will connect you with the right office and provider.
Women across Montgomery and Auburn trust us with health concerns other providers couldn’t fully explain. Here’s what real patients are saying about their experience with our care team.
We’re a membership-based practice, which simply means we work for you instead of an insurance company. There’s no application and nothing to figure out on your own. Everything starts with a first appointment, where your provider reviews where you’ve been, what you’ve tried, and what’s worked, then builds your treatment plan. From there, your provider recommends the membership that fits: some patients need a season of comprehensive, high-touch care to get their health back, and others just want an ongoing relationship with a provider who looks deeper, much like primary care. If you’re not sure this is for you yet, that’s exactly what our free Functional Foundations session is for.
This depends on the level of care you need, and you won’t have to guess. The easiest way to get clear answers is our free monthly Functional Foundations session, where you’ll see how we work, what a plan could look like for you, and what it costs, before booking anything. From there, there’s a path at nearly every budget: provider-recommended supplements, individual in-office therapies you can book without a membership, and membership programs for ongoing, provider-guided care. Your provider will confirm exact costs at your first appointment. No pressure, and no surprises.
