Dr. Mark Sherwood

Functional Medical Institute (FMI) is a science-based healthcare provider offering personalized care through in-person and telehealth services. Founded by physicians Dr. Mark and Dr. Michele Sherwood, the institute focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying factors behind health concerns rather than simply managing symptoms. Its clinical approach draws on expertise in naturopathic medicine, osteopathy, hormone optimization, genetic testing, peptide therapy, and nutritional science.

FMI develops care plans tailored to individual biology and works across interconnected areas of health, including nutrition, hormones, gut health, fitness, sleep, mental health, longevity, and wellness. The institute also provides health education through physician-written articles, books, films, and a podcast hosted by the Sherwoods. Its featured books include The Quest for Wellness, Fork Your Diet, and Surviving the Garden of Eatin’, while its documentary content explores food, disease, and health. Patient stories and educational resources share experiences and guidance related to the institute’s programs. FMI’s stated mission is to help people pursue better health and longevity through personalized, root-cause-focused care.
