Core Wellness Functional Medicine

About Core Wellness Functional Medicine

Core Wellness Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice on College Avenue in Oakland, California, serving the Oakland and Berkeley area. It was founded by Carolyn Finnegan, DC, who added functional medicine training after seeing rising numbers of patients with chronic inflammation, pain and gastrointestinal issues in her prior practice. Listed areas of focus include gut health, thyroid disorders, autoimmune disease, hormonal and adrenal imbalances, anxiety and chronic stress, brain fog and mitochondrial health, long Covid, longevity, and toxin exposure including mold and heavy metals. The practice keeps a deliberately small patient panel and works through a sequence of an introductory session, a 90-minute initial evaluation, laboratory testing with nutrition coaching, and follow-up visits every four to eight weeks. It has treated patients since 2004.
