Meet Jana T. Soward, PNP FMACP
I graduated from Duke University in 2000 with a master's in nursing and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner degree. I am the proud mother of 6 children ages 15-32 and one granddaughter aged 5. For the past 24 years I have worked in Primary Pediatrics and have loved watching my patients grow up and having the honor of being a part of keeping them healthy. In 2023 I battled cervical cancer and began a deep dive into functional medicine and alternative ways to treat illness. It sparked a deep desire to help my patients get to the root cause of their problems rather than just treating their symptoms. I started my functional medicine practitioner journey by treating my own 15-year-old daughter who has been struggling with a multitude of problems her entire childhood without ever finding true relief. She is flourishing now and we owe it all to functional medicine!! I truly believe this is my calling and am so excited for Better Tomorrows FP to help families build generational health and live happy vibrant lives!

Get an appointment right now if you don't want your kid to just be prescribed pills for ADHD and not find out what the cause is!! We did and we will never look back. Jana is a godsend!
Todd H.
I was skeptical at first but honestly we've never been treated so kindly and have had someone look at everything to find out what's wrong. We are on the road to recovery and hope this business won't get too busy for us!!

It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.

What Conditions Can Functional Medicine Treat?
Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, neurodivergent concerns, behavioral issues, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
What Can I Expect During a Functional Medicine Consultation?
During a functional medicine consultation, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns.
What Treatment Modalities Does Functional Medicine Use?
Functional medicine incorporates a variety of treatment modalities, including nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols, and mind-body therapies. The approach is highly individualized based on each patient's unique needs.
How Long Does it Take to See Results with Functional Medicine?
The timeline for seeing results with functional medicine varies depending on the complexity of your health issues, your adherence to the treatment plan, and other factors. While some patients experience improvements in symptoms relatively quickly, achieving long-term wellness often requires ongoing commitment and patience.
