Functional Medicine Physician Serving Virginia
If you’re searching for a functional medicine doctor in Virginia, you may be looking for a more thorough, individualized approach to your health—especially if you’ve been told everything looks “normal,” yet you don’t feel your best.
I’m Dr. Jennifer Chung, a board-certified internal medicine physician based in Richmond, Virginia. I work with patients throughout the state via telehealth, providing a more comprehensive, root-cause approach to care.
A More Individualized Approach to Care
Many patients seek out functional medicine after feeling that their symptoms have not been fully explained or addressed.
Rather than focusing solely on diagnosis and symptom management, this approach is centered on understanding the underlying factors contributing to how you feel.
This often involves looking at:
- Patterns across systems—not isolated symptoms
- Subtle imbalances that may not be flagged on standard labs
- The interaction between lifestyle, physiology, and long-term risk
Who This Is Designed For
I typically work with adults across Virginia who are:
- Experiencing persistent fatigue or low energy and brain fog
- Navigating metabolic concerns such as insulin resistance, or autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
- Struggling with weight despite consistent effort
- Dealing with hormonal imbalances
- Experiencing digestive symptoms
- Looking to better understand and reduce cardiovascular risk
These concerns are often interconnected and benefit from a more comprehensive evaluation.
How Telehealth Care Works
All visits are conducted virtually, allowing you to access care from anywhere in Virginia.
Lab testing is coordinated locally, and results are reviewed in detail during your visits. Care is structured to allow for a more in-depth understanding of your health, rather than brief, problem-focused appointments.
What Makes This Model Different
This is a direct-pay practice designed to support a higher level of care.
This includes:
- Extended, one-on-one visits
- A detailed review of your full health history
- Thoughtful interpretation of laboratory data
- Personalized recommendations tailored to your physiology and goals
This model is best suited for individuals who value a more proactive, physician-guided approach.
Is This the Right Fit?
This approach tends to resonate with individuals who:
- Want a deeper understanding of their health
- Prefer a more collaborative and personalized process
- Are interested in prevention, not just treatment
