Frequently Asked Questions

Body Wellness Boutique is a medical-grade functional medicine practice focused on chronic pain, fibromyalgia, sleep issues, gut problems, neuropathy, and metabolic weight concerns. We use clinical insight, advanced testing, and personalized care to look beyond symptom management.

Body Wellness Boutique was founded by Dr. Joan Haynes, DNP, FNP-C, FMACP. She brings advanced clinical training, functional medicine certification, and years of hands-on experience helping patients with complex pain and whole-body health concerns.

We take time to listen, review your health history, and look for patterns that may be missed in rushed appointments. Our care is rooted in clinical experience, functional medicine testing, and personalized planning, not one-size-fits-all advice.

No. Fibromyalgia is a major focus, but we also support patients with chronic pain, insomnia, gut problems, neuropathy, inflammation, fatigue, and weight resistance. Many of these issues overlap, so we evaluate the body as a connected system.

Standard labs often look for disease ranges, not optimal function. Functional medicine reviews patterns, trends, and gray areas that may help explain fatigue, pain, poor sleep, digestive issues, inflammation, or metabolic resistance.

Your first visit is designed to understand your full story. We review symptoms, health history, previous testing, medications, lifestyle factors, and your main concerns so care can begin with context, not assumptions.

Yes. Depending on your needs, Dr. Haynes may recommend comprehensive baseline labs or functional testing to better understand inflammation, hormones, nutrient status, metabolism, gut health, and other factors connected to your symptoms.

No. Body Wellness Boutique is a cash-based practice. This allows more time for visits, deeper investigation, personalized care, and clinical decisions that are not limited by insurance requirements or rushed appointment models.

Yes. We look at weight through a metabolic and whole-body lens. Hormones, inflammation, sleep, stress, gut health, medications, and cellular function may all affect why weight does not shift despite consistent effort.

This practice may be a good fit if you feel dismissed, rushed, or stuck without answers. It is designed for patients who want deeper investigation, professional guidance, and a care plan built around their body.
