Marta Banuelos, MS: Functional Medicine & Genetics Expert | Smarta Functional Medicine

Smarta Functional Medicine, led by Marta Banuelos, takes a genetics-first approach to treating women with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Marta combines functional medicine and clinical genetics to uncover the root causes of symptoms that traditional medicine often overlooks. She focuses on personalized care, mapping an individual's DNA to create a unique treatment plan that addresses thyroid hormone conversion, immune system regulation, and nutrient absorption. Patients undergo a comprehensive genetic test, known as the Hashimoto’s Genetic Blueprint, which analyzes over 134 genes to provide a clear understanding of each patient's unique biology. This method is particularly tailored to Hashimoto's patients who have not seen improvement with standard protocols. Key services include a root cause consultation, the Hashimoto’s Genetic Blueprint test, and personalized care plans based on genetic results. Marta offers both one-on-one and group programs that are meticulously designed according to each patient's specific needs and genetic makeup. Her approach ensures that treatments move beyond general advice to actual solutions based on scientific insight. What sets Smarta Functional Medicine apart is the focus on deeper understanding and individualized care. By using advanced genetic testing and comprehensive assessments, Marta offers patients a way to truly understand their condition. This practice eschews generic protocols, focusing on precise, scientifically grounded treatments. It aims to empower patients with knowledge about their condition, working against the conventional narrative of 'normal labs,' which often misleads patients with far-reaching health issues. The practice is fully virtual, allowing Marta to reach patients throughout most U.S. states.
