If your assessment pointed you here, it means your symptoms cross both metabolic and structural lines - hormones, inflammation, muscle, recovery, weight, and internal capacity.
This is where true integration happens. Not fragmented care. Not soiled opinions. One coordinated strategy.
Meet Mari Handley and Dr. Matt Davis
Integrated Care
Mari Handley, Functional Nutritionist and RBTI Specialist, and Dr. Matt Davis, Orthopedic Surgeon, collaborate to bring together functional and medical perspectives into one coordinated approach to health.
Together, they help patients connect the dots between metabolism, hormones, inflammation, muscle health, and recovery — recognizing that lasting results happen when the whole body is supported, not just one symptom treated.
Their integrated model combines advanced testing, personalized nutrition and metabolic support, medical therapies, and movement-focused care to help patients restore strength, improve resilience, and feel like themselves again.
In Simple Terms-
You may resonate with this pathway if:
• You feel exhausted but your labs are “fine”
• You have weight gain + joint pain
• You’ve tried hormone therapy but still feel off
• You’re on GLP-1 support but feel weaker
• You lost weight but lost muscle too
• You’re dealing with inflammation + fatigue together
• You’re preparing for surgery but feel depleted
• You’re recovering slowly from injury or illness
• You want optimization, not symptom management
• You have weight gain + joint pain
• You’ve tried hormone therapy but still feel off
• You’re on GLP-1 support but feel weaker
• You lost weight but lost muscle too
• You’re dealing with inflammation + fatigue together
• You’re preparing for surgery but feel depleted
• You’re recovering slowly from injury or illness
• You want optimization, not symptom management
This is where single-lane care stops working.
Because your body doesn’t operate in silos.
Integrated care means we assess and support:
• Metabolism
• Hormones
• Muscle mass
• Inflammation
• Detox capacity
• Recovery signaling
• Structural integrity
• Hormones
• Muscle mass
• Inflammation
• Detox capacity
• Recovery signaling
• Structural integrity
At the same time.
Mari evaluates:
Functional patterns, minerals, detox pathways, hormone metabolism, metabolic signaling.
Dr. Davis evaluates:
Hormones, peptides, inflammation, structural health, regenerative support, medical therapies.
Together, we build one plan — not two separate ones.
This is one of the fastest-growing needs we’re seeing
gLP-1 and peptide support
01.
GLP-1 medications can be incredibly helpful for:
• Blood sugar regulation
• Appetite control
• Weight reduction
• Appetite control
• Weight reduction
Peptide Support
• Tissue repair
• Muscle growth signaling
• Fat metabolism
• Inflammation reduction
• Recovery acceleration
• Muscle growth signaling
• Fat metabolism
• Inflammation reduction
• Recovery acceleration
02..
But without proper support and dosing, they can also lead to:
• Muscle wasting
• Metabolic slowdown
• Weakness
• Bone density decline
• Nutrient depletion
• Metabolic slowdown
• Weakness
• Bone density decline
• Nutrient depletion
Weight loss alone is not the goal.
Strength, metabolism, and resilience are.
And peptides work best when the body has:
• Adequate minerals
• Proper detox drainage
• Stable hormone metabolism
• Sufficient protein assimilation
• Proper detox drainage
• Stable hormone metabolism
• Sufficient protein assimilation
That’s where functional care amplifies medical therapy.
We don’t just add tools.
We prepare the terrain so the tools work better.

How We Support GLP-1 Patients Together
Mari focuses on:
• Protein utilization
• Mineral balance
• Digestive capacity
• Hydration signaling
• Metabolic efficiency
• Detox pathways during fat loss
• Mineral balance
• Digestive capacity
• Hydration signaling
• Metabolic efficiency
• Detox pathways during fat loss
Dr. Davis focuses on:
• Peptides for muscle preservation
• Hormone optimization
• Inflammation control
• Recovery signaling
• Structural support
• Hormone optimization
• Inflammation control
• Recovery signaling
• Structural support
This ensures weight loss doesn’t come at the cost of muscle, metabolism, or long-term health.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Integrated care means your plan isn’t built around just one system.
Instead, we look at the full picture.
For example, someone may be experiencing:
• fatigue and metabolic slowdown
• hormone shifts or stubborn weight changes
• inflammation or joint pain
• muscle loss after GLP-1 support
• slower recovery from exercise or injury
• digestion or detox stress affecting overall energy
• hormone shifts or stubborn weight changes
• inflammation or joint pain
• muscle loss after GLP-1 support
• slower recovery from exercise or injury
• digestion or detox stress affecting overall energy
In these situations, addressing only one layer rarely creates lasting progress.
That’s why our model brings medical insight and functional physiology together.
Dr. Davis focuses on structural health, recovery capacity, hormone therapy, peptide support, and medical evaluation.
Mari focuses on metabolic signaling, hormone metabolism, mineral balance, digestion, detox pathways, and nervous system regulation.
When these approaches work together, we’re able to build a strategy that supports the body from multiple directions at once — without overwhelming it.
The goal is not to add more interventions.
The goal is to sequence the body correctly so it can respond.
Your Next Step
If the quiz suggested that integrated care may be the best fit, the next step is simply to begin the conversation.
During your consultation, we will:
• review your health history and symptoms
• identify the primary systems influencing your results
• determine what testing or measurements may be helpful
• outline a strategy designed specifically for your body
• identify the primary systems influencing your results
• determine what testing or measurements may be helpful
• outline a strategy designed specifically for your body
Before scheduling, we strongly recommend watching the podcast conversation where we explain how this integrated model works.
It will help you understand the philosophy behind our approach and why sequencing the body correctly matters.
When you feel ready, you can schedule your consultation below.
You don’t need more opinions.
You need a plan built around how your body actually works.
