June Supplement of the Month: Unlocking the Truth About Melatonin

Mackenzie Weis Jones, DNP, FNP-BC

If there's one supplement that has become synonymous with sleep, it's melatonin. It's readily available, widely used, and often seen as a simple fix for a restless night. But in functional medicine, our goal is never just to find a quick fix; it's to understand the root cause. So, let's pull back the curtain on melatonin.

Lyme Disease Treatment

Mackenzie Weis Jones, DNP, FNP-BC

Lyme disease, caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium and transmitted through tick bites, can have lasting effects if not properly treated. Symptoms often start with fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and the classic bullseye rash, but if left untreated, Lyme can progress to neurological issues, joint pain, and long-term immune dysfunction. Because Lyme bacteria can evade the immune system and persist in the body, a comprehensive and multi-faceted treatment approach is essential.

COVID Protocol

Mackenzie Weis Jones, DNP, FNP-BC

I recently got hit hard by another COVID mutation and felt I would be doing you all, my members, a disservice if I didn’t share an action plan for tackling this virus head-on. As a functional medicine nurse practitioner, my approach goes beyond symptom management—I focus on addressing root causes, supporting immune function, and optimizing recovery. Below is my personal COVID treatment protocol, integrating evidence-based functional medicine strategies.

We offer a phone consultation with our Nurse Practitioner, Mackenzie Jones, in which you’ll review your symptoms, goals, and what you may have tried in the past. She will then discuss how she would approach your case. The discovery call is 30 minutes long and the investment is $50. This step is optional. No direct medical advice is given at this appointment.
