Alicja Sundblade
Alicja earned her Master of Science in Nursing from UNC Charlotte in 2013 and is board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. After more than a decade practicing Internal Medicine, she saw too many women struggling with fatigue, hormone changes, digestive issues, and stubborn weight gain being told their labs were "normal" or that their symptoms were simply part of aging.
Determined to provide a better approach, Alicja pursued advanced training in Functional Medicine, where she found a way to combine evidence-based medicine with personalized, root-cause care.
Today, she helps women uncover what's driving their symptoms and create individualized treatment strategies through The Be Well Method™, her structured framework for restoring health and tracking measurable progress.
Outside the office, Alicja enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, practicing yoga, and serving in her church community.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, lifestyle, and advanced lab testing to develop tailored treatment plans.
How is Functional Medicine different from conventional medicine?
While conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms with medications, Functional Medicine aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of health problems. This holistic approach considers the whole person and emphasizes prevention, diet, lifestyle changes, and natural treatments.
What conditions can Be Well Functional Medicine help with?
We specialize in treating a variety of conditions, including hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, mood disorders, sleep disturbances, weight management, skin conditions, and more. Our personalized approach is designed to address your specific health needs.
What can I expect during my initial consultation?
During your initial 60-minute consultation, we will conduct a thorough review of your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle. We will also discuss any previous lab results and determine the appropriate functional tests needed to uncover the root causes of your health issues.
How long does it take to see results?
The timeline for seeing results varies depending on the individual and their specific health concerns. Some patients may notice improvements within a few weeks, while others may take several months to achieve optimal health. Consistent follow-up and adherence to the personalized treatment plan are key to achieving the best outcomes.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes, we offer both in-person and virtual consultations to accommodate your needs and preferences. Our goal is to make it convenient for you to receive the care you need, regardless of your location.
Do you accept insurance?
Generally speaking, insurance does not cover functional medicine. You can however use FSA funds towards visits. We can generate a "superbill" for you to submit for reimbursment, but this depends on what your policy allows. Labs may also be covered by FSA funds depending on your plan.
