The lifestyle adjustments recommended for you will depend on your individual health goals and current lifestyle. For some patients, only a few changes may be needed while others may need broader shifts in multiple areas of their lives. Common areas that we will focus on include:

• Diet and nutrition

• Stress management

• Movement and exercise

• Sleep habits

We will get to know you, your life, and help create goals to make meaningful, lasting changes. We are here to support you- every step of the way!

We are currently offering beta prices for our functional medicine services. You can purchase these as individual appointments or as a 3 month package for a more structured framework. Many patients who commit to a structured program see faster and more measurable improvements because they stay supported between visits.

Prime Optimal Health also offers lab only services, lab review visits, and infusion/injection services. Prices are posted in our "Services" tab.

• 10% off pharmaceutical-grade supplements through our Fullscript online dispensary.

• In-person appointments and telehealth visits to support, assess, and help guide you on your journey.

• No additional charge for portal messaging between sessions for clarification on any part of your health care plan previously discussed in a session.

• Detailed session notes from every session, which you can access and refer to from a computer or phone at any time.

We operate as a cash-based practice, meaning we don’t work directly with insurance providers. Payment is due at the time of your appointment.

We’re happy to provide a detailed superbill within 24 hours of your appointment, which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual insurance plan and out-of-network benefits.

Yes! Prime Optimal Health fully adheres to HIPAA guidelines for telemedicine, which include:

• Only authorized users have access to your Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). • All communications occur through secure, encrypted systems that protect the integrity of your data. • Ongoing monitoring is in place to prevent accidental or malicious breaches.

In practical terms, this means we communicate with you only through secure, password-protected channels and our HIPAA-compliant patient portal.

Our business phone number also operates through a HIPAA-compliant service, ensuring that all calls and messages remain private.

We will never communicate private health information through unsecured platforms such as personal email, text, or social media.

To help protect your privacy, we also ask that you join your telehealth appointments from a quiet, private space whenever possible.

A complete approach to your health and wellness involves a collaborative team of providers — including your regular primary care provider (PCP) — in addition to working with Stephanie Martinez, NP.

You are required to maintain an established relationship with a PCP and agree to complete all routine preventive and annual health screenings (for example: colonoscopy, mammogram, Pap smear, and other age-appropriate exams).

While functional medicine provides an additional layer of insight and support, it is not a substitute for conventional medical care when acute, urgent, or serious conditions arise.

In the event of an emergency or an urgent health concern, please contact your local urgent care or emergency department for immediate evaluation.

Each person’s path to better health is unique, and progress naturally varies from patient to patient. Achieving meaningful, lasting results takes time as your body adjusts to new routines and begins to heal from within.

Most patients begin to notice positive changes within the first four to six weeks, though deeper improvements continue to develop over time.

According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, functional medicine is “an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.”

This approach looks beyond symptoms to identify and treat the root causes of imbalance. By addressing your health from multiple angles—nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and genetics—we aim to create lasting, meaningful improvements in your overall well-being.

Conventional medicine often takes a reactive approach—treating symptoms as they appear. Functional medicine, on the other hand, is proactive. It seeks to uncover and correct the root causes behind those symptoms, providing lasting relief and improving overall health. Rather than masking issues or managing symptoms that may signal deeper imbalances, functional medicine works to restore balance and prevent future problems.

Hormones play a vital role in overall health, influencing everything from mood and energy to metabolism and long-term disease risk.

Imbalances can develop for many reasons and often affect both physical and emotional well-being. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, and changes in sexual function.

By restoring hormonal balance, we can address the root causes of these symptoms, help reduce the risk of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease, and help you feel more vibrant, confident, and in control of your health.

In recent years, research has shown how deeply the gut is connected to nearly every system in the body. This complex ecosystem—known as the gut microbiome—is made up of trillions of bacteria that influence digestion, metabolism, immunity, and even brain function.

Factors such as diet, stress, medications, and hormonal changes (including pregnancy) can disrupt this delicate balance, affecting mood, cognition, pain, and overall well-being. The gut also produces key neurotransmitters like serotonin and supports up to 90% of the immune system’s activity.

When imbalances occur, they can influence your health from the inside out—making gut restoration and support a vital part of achieving lasting wellness.

Bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as the hormones naturally produced by your body. This allows them to mimic normal hormone function more precisely than most conventional or synthetic options, which are often derived from sources like the urine of pregnant horses or made from non-identical compounds.

Bioidentical hormones are available in several forms—such as creams, patches, pills, and sublingual drops or troches. They can be custom-compounded by a pharmacist to match your specific needs or prescribed as FDA-approved formulations through a conventional pharmacy, sometimes covered by insurance.

At this time, Prime Optimal Health does not prescribe controlled substances such as testosterone or phentermine.

At Prime Optimal Health, we offer a range of medical and wellness services designed to help you feel your best from the inside out. Our specialties include hormone optimization, functional medicine, weight management programs, and peptide therapies—all tailored to your unique health goals.

For added convenience, we also provide mobile IV infusions and vitamin injections delivered directly to your home, office, or event, available for individuals or groups.

Our telehealth services make it easy to connect with a licensed healthcare professional from the comfort of your home. You’ll receive personalized guidance and treatment plans remotely—offering convenient, flexible access to care wherever you are.

Hormone optimization therapy focuses on evaluating and restoring your hormone levels to support balance, vitality, and long-term wellness.

When hormones are out of balance, it can affect energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and overall quality of life. By bringing your hormones back into an optimal range, we aim to improve how your body functions day to day — helping you feel more vibrant, focused, and in control of your health.
