You Do Not Need Another Surface Level Answer
If you are an adult dealing with bloating, autoimmune flares, skin problems, fatigue, or food reactions, those symptoms are not random.
If your child has autism and also struggles with constipation, diarrhea, reflux, picky eating, eczema, sleep issues, immune problems, or behavioral shifts, those patterns matter too.
The body is connected. The gut, immune system, brain, skin, hormones, and nervous system are constantly communicating. My job is to help you understand where the stress is coming from and what to do next.
Autoimmune Disease
For clients who want to investigate immune triggers like gut dysfunction, infections, food sensitivities, stress load, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental burden.
Autism + Pediatric Support
For families who want to look deeper at gut health, nutrient status, inflammation, food reactions, environmental exposures, and nervous system stress.
Gut Health + Digestion
For bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, IBS-like symptoms, food reactions, SIBO, dysbiosis, and gut-driven inflammation.
Skin Problems
For acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, hives, and skin flares that may be connected to the gut, immune system, hormones, or inflammation.

Whether you're in Charlotte or anywhere else, Dr. Jen offers comprehensive virtual consultations, bringing personalized functional medicine care directly to you. She is dedicated to serving others, and has a deep passion for the human body, health, and the miracle of living.
At Vital Source Functional Medicine, we believe that true healing starts by addressing the root cause of health concerns, not just managing symptoms. Dr. Jen combines science-based, holistic healthcare with personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
Dr. Jen specializes in gut health, autoimmune conditions, autism, skin problems, and metabolic wellness. Whether you’re struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, or seeking a proactive approach to long-term health, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
Symptoms are signals. We follow the signals back to the source.
Chronic health problems do not come from one missing supplement or one bad food.
They build over time from layered stressors: poor digestion, microbiome imbalance, nutrient depletion, blood sugar swings, immune activation, poor sleep, chronic stress, and environmental exposures.
That is why we don’t look at symptoms in isolation. We look at patterns.
Gut + Microbiome
Digestion, stool patterns, bloating, reflux, dysbiosis, yeast, parasites, inflammation
Stress + Nervous System
Sleep, circadian rhythm, emotional stress, sensory load, cortisol patterns, recovery capacity
Food + Nutrients
Food reactions, restricted diets, protein intake, mineral status, B vitamins, vitamin D, essential fats
Environment + Toxins
Mold exposure, heavy metals, plastics, pesticides, chemical burden
Immune + Inflammation
Autoimmune patterns, skin flares, frequent infections, inflammatory load
Lifestyle Foundations
Food quality, sunlight, movement, sleep, connection, rhythm, and consistency
Functional Medicine Support for Kids with Autism
Autism is not something we approach as a single diagnosis with a single protocol. We look at the child in front of us.
Many kids with autism also deal with gut issues, food selectivity, sleep problems, skin issues, immune challenges, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammatory patterns. These are not small side notes. They can directly affect comfort, regulation, behavior, energy, learning, and quality of life.
Our role is to help parents investigate what may be adding stress to their child’s system and build a realistic plan that supports the body from the inside out.
Adults Deserve Better Answers, Too.
Gut Issues
Bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, food reactions, SIBO-like symptoms
If you have been told your labs are “normal” but you still feel off, that is not the end of the conversation.
We work with adults dealing with digestive problems, autoimmune disease, skin issues, fatigue, blood sugar problems, hormone-related symptoms, and inflammatory patterns.
We look at what allowed the problem to develop in the first place, and then we build a plan that gives your body a reason to function better.
Autoimmune Patterns
Hashimoto’s, celiac disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid-type patterns, immune flares
Skin Problems
Acne, eczema, rosacea, hives, psoriasis, inflammatory skin flares
Metabolic + Hormone Clues
Blood sugar swings, fatigue, poor recovery, cycle changes, insulin resistance patterns
Advanced Testing Helps Us Stop Guessing.
When it makes sense, we use functional lab testing to better understand what is happening under the surface.
Testing may include comprehensive blood chemistry, stool testing, organic acids, SIBO testing, food sensitivity testing, hormone testing, nutrient markers, or environmental burden testing.
The goal is not to run every test possible. The goal is to gather the right information so we can make better decisions.
What Working Together Looks Like
-
We review your history, symptoms, goals, current routines, previous labs, and the patterns that may be driving the problem.
-
When appropriate, we use lab testing to look deeper at gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, hormones, metabolism, or environmental stressors.
-
You receive a plan built around food, lifestyle, supplements, nervous system support, and practical next steps.
-
We track what is changing, what is stuck, and where we need to adjust.
Meet Dr. Jen
I’m Dr. Jen Doriott, DC, founder of Vital Source Functional Medicine. I help clients look deeper than symptoms and build health from the inside-out.
My approach is direct, practical, and root-cause focused. I care about what is happening in the gut, immune system, nervous system, metabolism, and environment because the body doesn’t operate in isolation.
Whether I am working with a child with autism, an adult with autoimmune disease, or someone who cannot figure out why their skin or digestion keeps flaring, the goal is the same: find the patterns, reduce the stressors, and support the body’s ability to function better.
