FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE GALLATIN
MEET DR. SALIMAH JONES OUR FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONER
I’ve known Dr. Salimah Jones a few years on a personal and professional level. She has taken care of my family and me through IV therapy when we are sick. I can tell you nothing means more to me than having someone I know and trust to reach out to when I’m not feeling well. Having two young children, the convenience of having her come to my home, on short notice, and with a smile has me feeling better before she even leaves. You can’t put a price on health and wellness, and five stars doesn’t do her enough justice, she is awesome!
I felt better the next day ! Like a miracle. Dr Jones is extraordinarily gifted at her profession. She is not only that but also kind, calm, encouraging , reassuring and simply the best!
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Jones for about 6 months. I love the personal service that she gives. She doesn't treat the symptoms, she treats the whole person. Her follow up care is amazing. Dr. Jones makes house calls and does tele-health appointments which are super helpful. I don't have to wait in an office for hours to have a ten minute appointment. Dr. Jones takes her time and I always feel like I have her full attention for as long as it takes to address all of my concerns.

As a mother of 4 children with 2 who are autistic, Dr. Jones understands what it feels like to be challenged with chronic health problems daily. Nothing is worse than to receive news that you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a lifelong health issue with “no cure” or “no known cause”, Becoming frustrated with the limitations of traditional medicine, Dr. Jones has had to do her fair share of digging deep to find answers into why her children were not receiving the healing they needed and reaching the potential she knew that they could. Through extensive research and with the discovery of functional medicine, she has been able to not only help her own family overcome many of their health challenges, but also seen the impact it has had on the lives of her patients. As an integrative and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Jones is passionate about helping her patients take charge of their health by taking a deep dive into what’s going on with them on a cellular level to identify underlying imbalances. In the functional medical world, we call these imbalances “root causes”. Taking a root cause approach allows the patient and the practitioner to understand the intricate levels that are involved and empowers the patient to take actionable steps towards their own healing journey guided by an experienced professional.
what is functional medicine?
While the traditional medicine model focuses on treating symptoms of individual body parts, the functional medicine model uses a whole-body systems approach.
Functional and integrative medicine focus on discovering root-causes of ailments, symptoms, and various health conditions with a goal of healing with natural methods rather than masking symptoms with prescription medications.
Root causes of underlying illnesses can be due to things like hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxicities, emotional stress, metabolic dysfunction, gut health/microbiome disturbances, autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, and genetic predisposition.
