The Dr. Hargrove Approach

I Test. I Don't Guess.

Most patients who come to Dr. Hargrove have a story. They've seen multiple doctors. They've been told their labs look "fine." They've been handed a prescription for a symptom that never quite goes away. And they still don't know why they feel the way they do.

"Everyone has their own story. I want to hear it. I want to understand where you've been — because that tells me a great deal about where you are now and what it's going to take to get you where you want to be." — Dr. John Hargrove, DC

With a background in endocrinology research, chemistry, and biochemistry — and over 35 post-graduate seminars in functional healthcare — Dr. Hargrove brings a depth of understanding to lab interpretation that goes far beyond checking whether a number falls inside a standard range. He looks at how your biological systems relate to each other, connecting seemingly unrelated symptoms to a single underlying cause.

What to Expect When You Come In

No rushed appointments. No one-size-fits-all answers. Just a thorough, unhurried conversation about your health — and a plan built around your biology.

1

Your Story First

Dr. Hargrove begins by listening — really listening. Bring your old labs, even if they're years old. He wants to understand the landscape of your health history: where you've been, what you've tried, and how you got here. Most doctors don't take this time. He does.

2

Comprehensive Lab Testing

Based on your history and symptoms, Dr. Hargrove orders the right tests — not just a standard panel. He evaluates hormones, thyroid function, metabolic markers, inflammatory pathways, and more. The goal is a complete picture of how your body is actually functioning.

3

A Plan That Makes Sense

When your results come back, Dr. Hargrove explains them in a way that connects the dots — showing you how your systems relate to each other and why you feel the way you do. Then you build a plan together: targeted supplements, dietary changes, and where needed, advanced therapies.

Conditions We Address

If You've Been Told Everything Is Normal But You Know Something Isn't

These are the most common reasons patients seek functional medicine — and the areas where Dr. Hargrove's depth of training makes the greatest difference.

Thyroid Dysfunction

Thyroid issues are among the most underdiagnosed conditions in medicine. Standard TSH tests often miss the full picture. Dr. Hargrove evaluates the complete thyroid panel — T3, T4, reverse T3, and antibodies — to understand what's actually happening.

Weight Gain & Inability to Lose

Stubborn weight that doesn't respond to diet and exercise is almost always a metabolic or hormonal issue — not a willpower issue. Finding the root cause changes everything about the approach.

Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy

Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix is a signal. It may be adrenal, thyroid, mitochondrial, or inflammatory in origin. Dr. Hargrove tests to find out — and builds a recovery plan around what he finds.

Hormone Imbalance

Hormones govern nearly every system in the body. Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, or insulin can produce a wide range of symptoms that seem unrelated — until you see the full picture.

Autoimmune Dysfunction

Autoimmune conditions often have identifiable triggers — gut permeability, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal disruption. Functional medicine looks for those triggers and addresses them directly.

Gut Health & Digestive Issues

The gut is connected to nearly every system in the body — immune, hormonal, neurological. Bloating, nausea, irregular digestion, and food sensitivities are often the first signal of a deeper imbalance.

Patient Transformations

Wellness Takes Work. But When You're Going the Right Direction, You'll Know It.

Results vary by individual. These are patient-reported experiences under Dr. Hargrove's supervised care programs.
