Functional Health in Wilmington
Your body isn’t broken. It’s sending signals. And instead of muting those signals with a prescription and a “see you in six months,” Dr. Amanda Keates actually listens to them, and attentively.
Functional Health at Simple Well Being, LLC is investigative, not reactive. We’re not here to manage your symptoms forever. We’re here to figure out why they showed up in the first place and help you get your life back.
This Is Not Symptom Management
Conventional medicine is great at emergencies. It is not great at “I’ve felt terrible for two years and every lab came back normal.” That’s where we live.
Functional Health looks at your body as a connected system, not a list of unrelated complaints. Your gut affects your hormones. Your hormones affect your mood. Your mood affects your sleep. None of it exists in isolation, and Dr. Amanda connects those dots in ways that often leave patients thinking, “Why didn’t anyone figure this out sooner?”
What We Help With
We work with people dealing with issues including:
- Digestive Health (IBS, bloating, constipation, acid reflux, food sensitivities)
- Female Hormone Imbalances (PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, menopausal symptoms)
- Anxiety and Mood Struggles (adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, burnout)
- Chronic Low Energy (sluggish gut, liver stress, toxin overload)
- Chronic Pain and Inflammation (fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines, chronic fatigue)
How It Works
Step 1: Discovery Call
Start with a free 15-minute call. No pressure, no pitch. Just a real conversation about what’s going on with your health and whether we’re a good fit. This is clarity, not a sales call.
Step 2: Comprehensive Intake
You’ll fill out a detailed health history before your 60-minute appointment. During that visit, Dr. Amanda reviews your full symptom picture, maps your health timeline, and starts identifying patterns.
You’ll leave with a clear summary of next steps.
Step 3: Strategic Functional Testing (if needed)
Testing here is purposeful, never just a box to check. Depending on your case, this might include advanced hormone panels, gut microbiome analysis, thyroid testing, or at-home collection kits. Results typically take one to three weeks. Support is available the whole time.
Step 4: Report of Findings
This is the good part. During your 60-minute Report of Findings visit, we go through your results, identify root causes, and build your care plan together. Most patients describe this visit as the first time anything actually made sense.
Step 5: Your Personalized Care Plan
Your plan is built around you specifically, not a template. It may include targeted supplementation, nutrition adjustments, sleep and stress support, and integration with chiropractic or acupuncture services in the practice. We also co-manage with your primary care physician when needed.
Three Ways to Work Together
We offer program options depending on where you are and how much support you want:
- Strong Foundation is a single-cycle option that includes your intake, one follow-up, advanced lab testing, and personalized diet and supplement recommendations. Good for people who want answers and a clear starting point.
- Mini Health Alchemy (3 months) is the condensed version of our signature program, with four follow-up visits, one advanced lab panel, a meal plan, individualized supplementation, and HIPAA-compliant texting during office hours.
- Health Alchemy (5 months) is the full experience. Two advanced lab panels, eight follow-up visits, a personalized meal plan and supplement protocol, a mindset and perspective plan, coaching app access, and 15% off supplements. This is our most comprehensive program for people ready to go all in.
