About Us

At Sanctuary Functional Medicine in Franklin, TN, we believe true healthcare is more than symptom management—it’s about uncovering root causes, restoring balance, and empowering individuals to achieve long-term wellness. Every day, we help patients who have struggled with chronic illness finally find real answers, renewed hope, and lasting healing.

 

Our mission is simple: empower you to Live a Healthier More Abundant Life.

Our Approach to Functional Medicine

Traditional medicine often focuses on medications that temporarily ease symptoms. At Sanctuary Functional Medicine, we follow a different path.

Using a root-cause, whole-person approach, our team integrates:

  • Advanced diagnostic testing

  • Personalized treatment plans

  • Functional, integrative, and conventional medicine

  • Lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental health strategies
     

This allows us to identify what’s truly driving illness—and help your body heal from the inside out.
 

We specialize in conditions commonly overlooked or misunderstood in conventional care, including:

  • Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)

  • Mold Toxicity & Environmental Illness

  • Lyme Disease & Co-infections

  • Autoimmune Disorders

  • Chronic Fatigue & Post-Viral Syndromes

  • Gut Health Conditions (IBS, SIBO, Leaky Gut, Dysbiosis)

  • Pediatric & Family Functional Medicine
     

Our comprehensive, evidence-based approach helps patients regain energy, reduce inflammation, restore gut health, balance hormones, and reclaim their lives.
 

Led by Dr. Potter

Our compassionate team of providers, nurse practitioners, functional medicine specialists, and wellness professionals is dedicated to listening deeply, understanding your full story, and guiding you toward restored health.
 

We take the time to:

  • Identify biological, environmental, and lifestyle triggers

  • Customize a plan tailored to your unique needs

  • Support you throughout every step of your healing journey
