Be Functional Health –

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
