Massachusetts-based Poe Holistic Health has announced expansions to its functional medicine consultation service, expanding flexible telehealth booking options for clients across Waltham, Holden, Cambridge, and South Boston, as well as Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Led by Dr. Kristen Poe, the practice takes a root cause approach to patient health, working beyond surface-level symptom management.

The expanded telehealth model is designed to address a challenge common among functional medicine clients: access and scheduling. By removing the need to travel to a physical clinic, the updated booking options aim to make comprehensive, personalized consultations more compatible with busy daily routines, extending Dr. Poe's reach to a larger patient base across New England.
According to a 2024 research letter published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the use of complementary health approaches among U.S. adults grew from 19.2% in 2002 to 36.7% in 2022, representing approximately 122.3 million people. This sustained growth reflects a broader shift in how Americans think about healthcare, with increasing numbers seeking approaches that emphasize prevention, personalization, and long-term wellbeing.
Poe Holistic Health's updated service is intended to meet that demand by offering structured care that goes deeper than conventional diagnostic models. Consultations draw on advanced functional lab testing to assess hormone balance, gut health, blood sugar regulation, and cellular energy, building a more complete picture of each patient's unique health profile rather than following generalized treatment pathways.
"I believe in working in the intelligent space between Western and functional medicine," Dr. Poe explains. "Western medicine is exceptional at crisis care. Functional medicine is exceptional at prevention, optimization, and long-term healing. My goal is to bring both perspectives together for each patient."
Dr. Poe holds a Doctorate in Naprapathic Medicine and a PhD in Alternative Medicine, alongside a Post-Graduate Diploma in Holistic Health, board certifications in holistic nutrition and sexology, and a Graston Technique clinician designation. She also serves as an Advisory Board Member of the American Naprapathic Association, and her training spans fascia, nutrition, nervous system regulation, hormones, movement, and integrative health.
"Dr. Poe explained my lab results in a way that was easy to understand, and the testing was genuinely thorough," one patient recently shared. "For the first time, I have a clear handle on my digestive issues. Her plan felt practical and achievable, and after 20 years of pain, I finally feel hopeful about actually getting better."
