Functional Medicine in Andover, MA
Physician-Supervised Wellness Programs at GFaceMD
Functional medicine at GFaceMD Andover combines physician-supervised care with personalized treatment programs designed to support energy, hormonal balance, weight management, immune health, hair restoration, and overall wellness. Every program begins with comprehensive lab testing and is built around your individual biology, not a standard template applied to everyone who walks through the door. Whether you are exploring functional medicine in Andover, MA for the first time or have been managing chronic symptoms without clear answers, GFaceMD brings the same clinical standard available at all four Massachusetts locations to 1 Main St, Suite 101.
Andover’s working-age population faces a specific convergence of stressors that functional medicine is built to address. The town averages over 2,600 hours of sunshine annually alongside significant seasonal temperature swings, and residents who commute along the Route 93 corridor, manage demanding professional schedules, and maintain active outdoor lifestyles through Merrimack Valley winters accumulate the kind of physiological load, hormonal strain, and nutritional depletion that standard panels often miss. Whether you are managing fatigue that does not resolve with rest, weight that does not respond to effort, or hormonal changes affecting every dimension of daily life, your care at GFaceMD Andover is overseen by Dr. Gretchen Frieling and tailored to your individual health goals.
Our Functional Medicine Services in Andover, MA
IV Hydration Therapy
Intravenous infusion bypasses the digestive system, delivering fluids, vitamins, and micronutrients directly into circulation at concentrations that oral supplementation cannot achieve. Programs are built around individual goals, whether recovery, energy, or immune support, and administered under physician supervision at 1 Main St, Suite 101.
Vitamin and Peptide Injections
Injectable B12, Vitamin D, and targeted peptides reach tissue at concentrations oral routes cannot replicate. Effective for Andover patients managing reduced winter sunlight, low energy, or demanding professional schedules. All protocols are physician-supervised with individual appropriateness confirmed before any program begins.
Medical Weight Loss
When diet and exercise have not produced lasting results, the issue is often physiological. GFaceMD Andover’s physician-supervised program uses FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, within a structured clinical protocol that includes metabolic assessment, ongoing monitoring, and dose management. Candidacy is evaluated before any prescription is issued.
Hormone Therapy
Hormonal changes affecting energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, and body composition often go unaddressed for years. GFaceMD uses comprehensive lab testing to identify specific imbalances and builds a personalized plan for men and women, with ongoing monitoring to keep the program calibrated as your biology evolves.
Hair Regrowth Program
Hair thinning affects confidence before it becomes visible to others. GFaceMD’s physician-directed program addresses the underlying causes through PRF scalp injections, nutritional support, peptide therapy where appropriate, and hormone evaluation — a multi-modality protocol matched to each patient’s specific drivers.
Exosome Therapy
Exosomes carry growth factors and signaling molecules that support cellular repair and regeneration. At GFaceMD Andover, exosome therapy may be integrated into hair restoration and skin rejuvenation protocols to amplify healing and complement the broader treatment plan.
