Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is Be Functional Health?
Be Functional Health is a virtual functional medicine practice led by Andrea Nacca, PA-C — a provider with over 25 years of clinical experience and a mission to change how we do healthcare.
We work with go-getters, change-makers, and wellness seekers who are tired of hearing "your labs are normal" when their body clearly says otherwise.
Whether you're struggling with:
Fatigue and burnout
Hormone chaos (hello, perimenopause or thyroid?)
Digestive issues, autoimmune flares, or brain fog
Or you're simply ready to optimize your health and longevity...
We help you get answers and build a plan that actually works — using advanced labs, lifestyle shifts, and targeted support. All from the comfort of your home. This is healthcare that listens, investigates, and empowers.

Currently accepting patients in California only
