You've Been Told Everything Is "Normal."
But You Know It's Not
If you’re exhausted, foggy, or living with symptoms no one can explain, there are usually answers that standard testing misses. Allison helps you find them, in person in Madison or by telemedicine anywhere in Mississippi.
We limit the number of Functional Medicine patients we take on so every person gets the time and attention they deserve. Limited Strategic Health Call appointments available each month.
You've Done Everything "Right." And You Still Feel Terrible
You've been to your family medicine practitioner. You've seen specialists. You've had bloodwork done and been told "everything looks normal."
But you know something is off.
The fatigue that doesn't go away no matter how much you sleep. The brain fog that makes you feel like you're losing yourself. The gut issues that nobody can explain. The weight that won't budge despite doing everything you're supposed to do.
You've been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to "just manage it" with another prescription.
You don't need another practitioner who spends 7 minutes with you and orders the same basic labs. You need someone willing to actually look.
Different Labs. Different Questions. Different Results.
Functional Medicine is a systems-based approach that looks at how your body actually works, not just whether you've crossed a disease threshold.
Standard bloodwork checks about 20 markers. We run panels that can include 80 to 200+ markers depending on your case. We're looking at things most practitioners never test:
Gut health: bacterial balance, yeast overgrowth, parasites, intestinal permeability
Hormone function: full thyroid panels (not just TSH), adrenal output, sex hormones
Nutrient status: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acid balance
Immune function: inflammatory markers, autoimmune triggers, hidden infections
Toxin burden: mold exposure, heavy metals, environmental chemicals
Metabolic health: insulin resistance, mitochondrial function, methylation pathways
The difference between "normal" and "optimal" is often where the answer lives. Conventional medicine waits until you're sick enough to diagnose. We look for the dysfunction before it becomes a disease.
Here’s How It Works
Step 1: Your Strategic Health Call.
Start with a call with our team. We’ll listen to what you’re dealing with, answer your questions, and help you decide whether PEAK’s Functional Medicine program is the right fit. No pressure, and no cost to find out.
Step 2: Enrollment, Initial Labs, and Your Diet & Lifestyle Program.
Enroll in your Functional Medicine membership. Allison orders lab work tailored to your case, and you begin our structured diet and lifestyle program right away while the lab process gets underway.
Step 3: Deep Dive Visit (60 minutes)
Comprehensive review of your results, in person in Madison or via telemedicine. You leave with a written treatment plan. In-person visits are recommended but not required.
Step 4: Ongoing Care
Periodic check-ins, protocol adjustments, follow-up labs as needed. Direct messaging with Allison between visits.
Functional Medicine Is For The Cases
Everyone Else Gave Up On
This is for you if:
You've been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel awful
You've been diagnosed with something but the treatment isn't working
You're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, gut problems, hormone issues, autoimmune symptoms, or unexplained weight changes
You've seen multiple specialists and nobody is connecting the dots
You're tired of managing symptoms and want to find the actual cause
You want a proactive, data-driven approach to your health, not a reactive one
This is probably not for you if:
You're looking for a quick fix or a single appointment solution
You're not willing to make changes to diet, lifestyle, or daily habits
You need emergency care (please go to your nearest emergency room)
You're dealing with cancer as a primary concern.

An Investment In Answers, Not Just Appointments
Functional Medicine is a deeper level of care. These cases are complex. In the first months, we spend significant time analyzing past records, ordering and interpreting advanced labs, and building individualized protocols. Visits may be more frequent during this phase.
Our pricing reflects that reality. The step-down structure means your cost decreases as your care shifts from intensive investigation to longer-term monitoring and support. We want to make it affordable for you to continue having access to our team as your health improves, whether that's for follow-up labs, protocol adjustments, or periodic check-ins.
After 4 months, your membership goes month to month. You can cancel anytime.
There is a one-time enrollment fee when you join: $299 for the first person, $149 for a second member of your household, and never more than $599 total for a family of three or more.
Functional Medicine Membership Fees:
Important: Functional Medicine Plans do not include family medicine visits, acute care, urgent care, or chiropractic. If you need to see a practitioner for a cold, flu, earache, or other acute issue unrelated to your Functional Medicine case, you'll need a separate family medicine provider. If you want full family medicine plus Functional Medicine, the Core + Functional Medicine Add-On combination is the best value.
What about labs?
Lab costs are separate from your membership. They vary based on your case, but here's what to expect (approximate fees):
We only order what your case requires. Oftentimes we can get a lot of information from just a comprehensive blood panel. If you know you have longstanding gut issues, we'd likely recommend that test as well. But even if we want two or three tests up front, if cost is a factor, we can spread them out over time. We're happy to discuss the pros and cons of ordering more tests initially versus spreading them out, because there are advantages to both approaches.
We want to be fully transparent so you know what to prepare for. Your provider walks you through costs before anything is ordered. Labs may be HSA/FSA eligible depending on your plan; verify with your plan administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see Allison in person?
Yes. Allison sees patients in person at the Madison, MS office. In-person visits are recommended, especially for the Deep Dive visit, but telemedicine is available for all appointments if you prefer or if travel isn't practical.
Can I do everything via telemedicine?
Most of the Functional Medicine process can be done via telemedicine, including the follow-up visits and protocol management. Lab work is done at a draw site near you. Some patients prefer in-person for the Deep Dive, but it's not required.
How long until I see results?
Most patients notice changes within 4-8 weeks. Significant improvement typically occurs over 3-6 months. Complex cases may take longer.
Can I cancel after 4 months?
Yes. After the 4-month commitment, it goes month to month. Cancel anytime.
What happens on the first call?
It’s a relaxed conversation with our team. We’ll talk through what you’ve been experiencing, what you’ve already tried, and what you’re hoping for. We’ll explain how the program works and answer your questions, then help you decide if it’s the right fit. There’s no cost and no pressure.
How is this different from my regular doctor?
Most visits are short and focused on managing symptoms. Here you get real time, in-depth testing that goes well beyond standard bloodwork, and a plan built around the root cause of how you feel, with support between visits.
Do I keep my regular doctor?
Yes. The Functional Medicine program doesn’t include family medicine or acute care, so you’ll keep your family medicine provider for everyday needs like colds, infections, or new unrelated issues. We focus on the chronic concerns that brought you to us.
How much does it cost, and what about lab work?
Membership starts at $299/month for the first four months, then steps down over time. Lab work is billed separately and depends on your case; a typical initial workup runs from about $347 to $1,200 or more. Allison reviews all lab costs with you before anything is ordered, and labs can be spaced out if cost is a concern.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Most lab work is HSA/FSA eligible. Eligibility depends on your specific plan, so please verify with your plan administrator. PEAK does not bill insurance and does not provide tax advice.
Do I have to live near Madison?
No. Allison sees patients in person in Madison and by telemedicine anywhere in Mississippi. Lab work is done at a draw site near you.

Hidden Stressors Draining Your Energy,
Vitality & Resilience
WHY conventional medicine often overlooks hidden stressors behind chronic health issues (and why many general practitioners may not fully address these complex interactions)
HOW to identify the hidden signs and symptoms draining energy, GI issues & hormonal imbalances
WHAT gut, hormone, adrenal, food reactivities and toxin testing we use to diagnose & prevent issues before they turn into catastrophic events

Meet Dr. Buddy Touchinsky, DC, CFMP
Founder and CEO, has been serving the community of Orwigsburg professionally and personally through local leadership roles for 15 years.
Dr. Touchinsky is a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner with a focus on creative solutions and innovative methods to help people solve their problems and maximize their health. It was in his chiropractic practice that missing links within the full health of an individual became apparent.
Many of the patients he treated were dealing with issues caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep, and other lifestyle-related factors that the traditional healthcare system was not addressing. This led Dr. Touchinsky to study and become certified in functional medicine and to develop a team of like-minded practitioners that are with us today.
HERE'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE...
3 Misconceptions About Health & Resilience
Low Energy = Red Flag For Systemic Issues
Why let unexplained symptoms keep disrupting your life? Getting to the bottom of seemingly unrelated issues is crucial to understanding the systemic, full-body health challenges that need immediate attention. By tackling these interconnected problems head-on, you can finally reclaim your vitality and live life fully. It's not just about managing symptoms; it's about understanding the root causes and addressing them swiftly, so you can move from merely surviving to truly thriving.
It Isn't Just
"Getting Older"
Did you know that feeling run down all the time isn't just "getting older"? You may be reaching a tipping point of built-up inflammation that can trigger more serious health events, even beyond just feeling run down and fatigued. Fortunately, addressing interconnected imbalances like gut health and hormone disruptions early allows you to move out of the 'red zone' and back into high energy, reducing the risk of future catastrophic events.
