Functional Medicine Programs in Manhattan, Kansas
Some patients come to see me once, get answers, and walk away with exactly what they needed. And that’s a win. But a lot of the people I work with are dealing with something that’s been building for years — fatigue that no one could explain, hormones that feel completely out of control, a gut that’s been struggling for as long as they can remember. For those patients, one visit isn’t enough. That’s why I created our Functional Medicine Programs at WHOLEhealth MHK.
These programs give us the time and structure to actually do the work — not just identify what’s wrong, but figure out why, and then build a plan your body can respond to.
What Is a Functional Medicine Program?
Think of it as a dedicated season of care. Rather than showing up when something flares and then waiting months for your next appointment, a program gives you a clear path forward — with regular touchpoints, real testing, and a plan that evolves as you do.
In functional medicine, I’m always asking: what is the body trying to tell us, and what does it need to heal? That question looks different for every patient — but working through it takes time, partnership, and the right information. That’s what our programs are built for.
What You Can Expect from a Program
When patients come to me for a program, they’re usually exhausted from chasing symptoms with no real answers. What I want to give them — and what these programs are designed to provide — is clarity, direction, and someone in their corner who actually knows their story.
In practical terms, that means a step-by-step plan (not a vague recommendation to “eat better and reduce stress”), consistent follow-through so we can adjust as your body responds, personalized testing when it helps us understand what’s really going on, and guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements that actually fits your life. It also means real accountability — which, in my experience, is one of the things that makes change actually stick.
Our Programs
No two patients are the same, and no two programs look exactly alike. But here’s a look at the pathways I work with most:
Quantum Wellness Program
This is our most comprehensive program — and the one I most often recommend for patients who’ve been struggling for a while and are ready to go all in. We work through nutrition, sleep, stress, and metabolic health together, and we do it at a pace you can actually sustain. I hear from patients all the time that this was the thing that finally turned things around for them. That doesn’t get old.
Quantum Metabolic Reset
For patients dealing with stubborn weight, energy that tanks after meals, or metabolic concerns that conventional approaches haven’t touched — this program digs into the root cause. It’s not a diet plan. It’s a way of understanding why your metabolism isn’t working the way it should, and then supporting your body in getting back on track.
Hormone Balance Programs
Hormones affect everything — sleep, mood, weight, energy, libido, brain clarity. If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone, a thyroid that’s not cooperating, or symptoms you can feel but no one’s been able to explain, this program was made for you. We use functional testing to get a clear picture, and I’ll be honest with you about what I’m seeing and what I think will actually help — including bio-identical hormone support when it’s appropriate.
Gut & Whole-Body Healing Programs
The gut is almost always involved when I’m working with patients who have chronic inflammation, food sensitivities, or autoimmune concerns. This program gives us the time to work through those deeper layers — calming the immune response, repairing the gut lining, addressing what’s driving the symptoms rather than just managing them.
Customized Whole-Health Programs
Sometimes what a patient needs doesn’t fit neatly into one category — and that’s okay. I’m happy to build a program around exactly where you are. We’ll pull from whatever combination of testing, therapies, and support makes the most sense for your situation.
How It Works
It starts with a conversation
Before anything else, we offer a complimentary discovery call. No pressure, no commitment — just a chance for you to tell me a bit about what’s been going on and for us to figure out together whether a program makes sense for where you are.
A thorough first visit
If you decide to move forward, your first visit is longer than a typical appointment. I want to hear your full health history, look at any labs you’ve already had done, and start building a picture of your whole health — not just the piece that’s been bothering you most. Nothing gets rushed.
Testing that actually tells us something
When it’s useful, we run advanced functional testing — gut health panels, hormone levels, nutrient status, inflammatory markers, and more. This is how we stop guessing and start knowing what your body actually needs.
A plan built around your real life
I’m not going to hand you a protocol that only works for someone with unlimited time, money, and willpower. The plans I build with patients are meant to be realistic — and they shift as your body shifts. That’s the whole point of working together over time instead of just once.
Regular check-ins along the way
You’ll never be left wondering what to do next or whether something is working. We check in regularly, celebrate what’s improving, troubleshoot what isn’t, and keep moving forward together.
Why WHOLEhealth MHK?
We’re the only Functional Medicine Family Practice in Manhattan, Kansas — and I want that to mean something more than just a tagline. It means that when you come here, you’re working with a physician who has the time and training to actually investigate what’s going on, not just manage a symptom list.
My patients know their names are known here. They know I remember their story from visit to visit. And they know that if something isn’t working, I’m going to say so and we’re going to figure out a different approach. That’s the kind of care I built this practice to offer.
Common Questions
Is a program right for me?
Programs are a good fit for patients who’ve been struggling with something chronic, who feel like they haven’t gotten real answers elsewhere, or who are ready to invest in their health at a deeper level — not just put a band-aid on a symptom. If that sounds like you, the discovery call is the place to start.
How long does a program last?
It depends on what we’re working on and how your body responds. Some programs run a few months; others unfold over a longer period. I’ll always be upfront about what to expect before you commit.
Will there be testing?
Usually, yes — though it depends on your situation. Functional testing helps me build a care plan around what your body actually needs, rather than what seems most likely. I’ll only recommend what I think will genuinely help us move forward.
Does insurance cover this?
Our programs are private-pay, which is honestly part of what makes this model work — it’s what allows me to spend real time with patients rather than rushing through appointments. Many patients are able to use HSA or FSA funds, and I’ll always walk you through the cost clearly before you make any decisions.
How do I know which program to choose?
You don’t have to figure that out on your own. That’s what the discovery call is for — tell me what’s going on, and I’ll share honestly what I think would serve you best.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you’ve been feeling stuck — like you’ve tried a lot of things and nothing has really worked — I want you to know that’s not the end of the road. There’s usually a reason things haven’t clicked yet, and that reason is findable. That’s the work I love most.
Book a complimentary discovery call and let’s talk about what’s going on and whether one of our programs might be the right next step for you.

I love that Dr. Tilly listens to my health concerns and makes suggestions for improvement that are wholistic and address the root of the problem not just treating the symptom. I always feel welcome and at ease. Appreciate Dr. Tilly and her staff for helping me on my weight loss journey, for being kind and caring. Kait is very kind and supportive as she answered my many questions especially when I first started the program. Thank you!!
Great experience. Love the approach to health care provided. Holistic and natural.
Dr. Tilley has been our family PCP for years. She, Kait and their team have been great. Very responsive and especially great navigating various sicknesses with our two young kids!!
I've been a patient of Dr Tilley's at WHOLEhealth mhk for years and she and her team are fantastic. They've managed every aspect of my health with expert medical knowledge and compassion. Dr. Tilley has always treated my health as a whole system, not a list of symptoms to be managed.
Dr. Tilley has really been a god send for my husband and and I. We feel so much better just after a couple of appts and looking forward to following the program. We are feeling hopeful we will get healthy physically, mentally and spiritually.
Dr. Tilley always listens and pinpoints what is going on with my body. (And sometimes my emotions!) I appreciate her depth of knowledge and feel very lucky to have a "whole health" physician in my hometown! Highly recommend.
Dr Tilly is one of the kindest and most caring doctors I have had the pleasure of knowing. She has been there through some of the most difficult challenges I continue to face and I appreciate her for her ability to listen and give feedback in a way that makes me feel safe and supported always. I only wish she was able to take insurance or that our medical insurance was easier so I didn't have to switch to a Medicare doctor due to finances. If money was no object I would choose Dr Tilly 100% of the time.
Our family has been happy with every experience we have had at Wholehealth MHK. Dr Tilley and team are thorough and take time to really listen to your needs. I recommend every chance I get.
Dr. Tilley has really helped us dig into our personal health and goals. She is kind and compassionate and a trusted adviser to all of my families needs and health challenges. We appreciate her care so much and are thankful to have a doctor like her!
Started using their Quantum Metabolic Reset program to work on my weight and reasons behind why I felt the constant urge to eat. Between the minimum dose of Zepbound and a completely adjusted food type and caloric intake I have lost over 140 lbs in the last 6 months. I still have a ways I would like to go and have been thankful for the support through the process.
I can’t begin to express how important Dr Regan Tilley has been in my health journey. Since I discovered her (and the staff at Whole Health) a little over two years ago, I have learned so much about my body, my mind, and my spirit. She has introduced me to levels of healing I never knew existed. Dr Regan is so much more than a functional health care practitioner or doctor. She’s also a mentor who guides in gentle ways and I feel so fortunate to have found her. Kait, too, is a true gem and has the smoothest touch with the needle I have ever experienced. It’s wonderful to walk into WholeHealthMHK and be met with familiar smiles (and, of course, tail wagging from the adorable Lucy).
Dr Regan is a phenomenal practitioner. She surprised me with our first visit by spending 2 hours to hear my story and paint the whole picture of my health journey. I appreciated her compassion, attention to detail, and warm nature while providing care. She was the first physician to discuss the hormone cascade with me - as hormones were a big challenge and one of the main reasons why I sought her support. She educated me on the "how" and "why" so I could use that information to empower myself. Her office is warm and welcoming, and you'll feel like you matter from the moment you walk in.
Dr Tilley and her staff are Amazing! They have helped me to get my hormones back the way they should be after I was told they were "normal" by another doctor. I feel better than I have in years! Every time I contact them I receive a response very quickly! I'm am so happy I found them!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about WholeHealthMHK. Dr. Tilley came highly recommended during my pregnancy with our first child 3 years ago. We were looking for someone to provide pediatric care with the perfect pairing of holistic values. We love concierge healthcare and the ability to be in touch or in office very quickly. Dr. Tilley is incredibly knowledgeable, has great beside manner and speaks truth to every situation. We just welcomed our second child in March and had a huge feeling of peace knowing she would also be in Dr. Tilley’s care. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. I would recommend WholeHealthMHK to anyone, including new mommas!
I have been a patient of Dr. Regan's from before she even opened WHMHK. I followed her there because I already loved her, but now that she has her own practice, she's able to use all of her super powers to help heal everyone who seeks her help. She is the only Dr. I've ever had that pays attention to my whole body and treats me as a whole person, rather than a random collection of individual, unconnected parts... and let me be clear, my medical issues are anything but simple... I'm a mess!! But Dr. Regan truly listens and strives to help and not just shove pills at me. She understands not just my body, but my emotional wellbeing and understands how it all connects. Truly, the name of her practice "WHOLEhealth" could not be any more appropriate. I love and appreciate Dr. Regan and I will follow her anywhere! Also, its a massive bonus that she has a wonderful, relaxing IV therapy room that is my haven on migraine days! And I don't want to leave out her staff (RN Kait and Jean). They are helpful and funny and even though I'm a "tough stick", Kait gets me every time (and I can't say the same of the ER! #facts).
I found Dr Regan Right before she made the move to open this clinic. After just a few visits with her, I felt seen and heard enough that I was happy to follow her to her new clinic. Working with her and her nurse Kait has been a dream. I feel so seen and heard! I love their approach to full body and mind wellness! I will also say the Secretary, Jean, is always a delight and so helpful with getting you appointments.
At 43, I’ve been on hormone therapy for a month now, and the difference it’s made is nothing short of amazing. Around 40, I started feeling tired and irritable all the time. I lost interest in things that used to matter. I wasn’t sure if I was depressed or just out of sorts, but it was getting harder to ignore. I also started experiencing extreme pain and ovarian cyst ruptures, which led me to visit my doctor. Birth control pills were recommended, but I’ve never liked them. I had taken them briefly as a young woman and they made me feel crazy. So, the next recommendation was a hysterectomy. That felt extreme, but I went ahead with it, hoping it would solve everything. After the surgery, I struggled with anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, and a constant feeling that I was forgetting something important, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. When I shared my concerns with the doctor who did my surgery, I was shut down and told it had nothing to do with the procedure. Time passed, and things didn’t get better. In fact, my anxiety, irritability, and even rage got worse. I felt distant from my loved ones and was angry, defensive, and just not myself. I went back to my doctor and asked for lab tests, thinking maybe my hormones were out of balance. She ordered the labs and then told me that everything looked normal. When I asked about my hormone levels and if hormone therapy might help, she laughed and to go buy over-the-counter estrogen cream if I thought I was dealing with early menopause symptoms. I was angry and felt completely dismissed. That’s when I decided to seek out a holistic doctor, I sat with Dr. Regan Tilley and we discussed my experiences, she ordered lab tests. A week later, she called with the results. My estrogen levels were vey high and my testosterone levels were very low. We discussed different therapy options and possible side effects, and together we decided on Biote low-dose testosterone pellets. The procedure was easy—I had a couple of pellets inserted under my skin on my backside. I took it easy for a couple of days, and within a week, I began to feel different. I was laughing at my husband’s jokes again. I felt closer to him. Music moved me to dance. I picked up my paintbrush again, and work became easier. My dreams were more vivid, and sleep became something I actually looked forward to. No more anxiety. I started living in the moment—walking the dogs, feeling the rhythm of their wagging tails and my feet hitting the ground, and being present with my kids during homework and school prep. My relationship with my husband feels natural and flows. I am not defensive, ready for a fight constantly. It’s only been a month, but the relief I feel is priceless. I’m so grateful to Dr. Tilley for listening to me and helping me find myself again. This therapy has given me my life back, and I’m finally at peace and ready to grow mentally and spiritually. I'm back baby!
Dr. Regan Tilley is the best! Went above and beyond for me. It was nice to find a doctor that wants to help rather than just prescribe.
Dr. Tilley works to get to the root of the problem, not just treat the symptoms that are presenting. She addresses the whole person from a physical standpoint, but also mental and emotional to achieve the best outcomes possible.
Dr. Regan is deeply knowledgable and caring, and offers so many state-of-the-art tools in her practice! When you talk to her you can tell she is really listening, and you never feel rushed.
This is one of the most welcoming and validating practices I’d ever been to. After months of finding no answers, being put in a wheelchair due to a GI infection causing me to develop POTS, and wondering if I’d ever feel normal again, Dr. Tilley was able to get me a diagnosis. I’d been gaslit and treated like an experiment at other doctors and Dr. Tilley was helpful in formulating a treatment for me and helping me find what I was comfortable with. I’m so excited to be feeling better soon, and I would 100% recommend this practice to anyone. They’re so kind and caring and never once made me feel like a burden.
From a B2B perspective working with Dr. Regan and her staff was a pleasure. As a vendor we found them friendly and welcoming with amazing communication. Their professionalism was second to none. Very responsive, accessible and flexible.
When I say I have struggled with my health, I don't mean I've had a lot of or severe health issues. I have pretty normal stuff going on. What I mean is that I have struggled to find solutions, to find caring providers who listen with compassion and who are as interested in finding the causes of my health concerns as I am. I met with Dr. Tilley that first time and I left feeling empowered - like she would help me unravel the mystery of me. It's strange to say, but I love going to the doctor's office now. It's not a chore but a place where I am getting stronger, more educated, and healthier. They care about me as a whole person. I'm so thankful I took that first step.
We absolutely love Dr. Regan Tilley and her team! Her staff is always very sweet. Dr. Tilley takes time to listen to you and gets to the root of what's causing your problems. She doesn't just throw meds at you. She has been wonderful with my children too! Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great functional medicine dr.
Absolute best care that my girlfriend and I have received. No hassle and a very warm and friendly environment. I’m lucky to have found Whole Health MHK!!!
I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Tilley and her staff. We struggled to find a Dr. for our young son who would work with us and respect our approach & wishes for his medical care. Meeting Dr. Tilley & her staff was a breath of fresh air. We finally felt heard, supported and also guided by knowledgeable and caring medical professionals. Visiting her office felt warm and inviting. My son was so afraid of the Dr before and yet was completely relaxed in her space. If you want expertise paired with opened minded and lovely medical staff? Look no further!
We love WHOLEhealth MHK. If you are looking for a medical staff who truly listens to your needs and concerns and doesn't just treat your symptoms then this is the place for you. We also love that they value medical freedoms and aren't afraid to shy away from holistic medicine and natural treatments. This also the first place my little one has been treated where she's not affraid to go to the Dr.
I am a fairly new patient at Wholehealth and am very grateful to have found this practice. The staff is professional, helpful and kind. Dr. Tilly is very congenial and highly knowledgeable.
I highly recommend Dr. Tilley. She is kind and compassionate and very thorough. I had been to other doctors and none of them picked up on a Parathyroid problem, that I had for over ten years.
