Meet the Mavericks: Gina Perkins, Intake Manager.

Gina’s path to functional medicine was personal. After struggling through a 10-year Lyme disease journey, she found a provider who truly listened and helped her regain her health. That experience inspired her passion for helping others navigate their own wellness journeys.

Service Highlight: VO₂ Max Testing goes beyond fitness trackers and guesswork.

At James Clinic, we use advanced metabolic testing to measure how your body takes in, delivers, and uses oxygen—giving insight into performance, recovery, fatigue, and long-term health.

Because performance starts at the cellular level.

You can’t out-train poor oxygen utilization.

From recovery and endurance to energy production and long-term performance, oxygen drives everything at the cellular level.

At James Clinic, we use advanced testing and therapies to better understand how the body produces and uses energy — because oxygen is often the true limiter.

Meet the Mavericks.

We’re spotlighting Trish Christenberry, Concierge Manager at The James Clinic.

Trish’s path into functional medicine began with her own search for answers. After being told to accept ongoing symptoms, she chose a different route—diving into holistic wellness and ultimately finding a community focused on root-cause care.

Today, she helps guide patients through their own journeys, emphasizing simple practices like grounding alongside advanced treatments such as MDI.

Outside of work, you’ll find her spending time with family, caring for animals on her hobby farm, or enjoying the open road.

Being told your labs are “normal” doesn’t always explain why you still feel fatigued, foggy, or off.

At the James Clinic, we use advanced metabolic testing to look deeper at the systems driving your health and performance. From brain function and cardiovascular health to mitochondrial efficiency and metabolic health, our approach is designed to uncover what traditional testing may overlook.

Advanced testing includes:
• Brain Gauge
• Multifunction Cardiogram (MCG)
• GlycoCheck
• FibroScan
• PNOE VO₂ Max Testing

Watch the latest video to learn how these technologies help us take a more complete, head-to-toe approach to health.

Feeling exhausted isn’t always about stress, age, or lack of motivation. Sometimes the issue starts deeper — at the cellular level.

Mitochondria are responsible for producing the energy your body needs to heal, recover, think clearly, and function efficiently. When those systems slow down, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, and metabolic dysfunction can follow.

At the James Clinic, our MitoRegen™ protocol is designed to support mitochondrial function, metabolic signaling, circulation, and cellular energy production through a personalized, physician-guided approach.
Because real healing requires energy.

Before summer schedules fill up, now is the perfect time to schedule your child’s student athlete physical and vaccine exemption appointments at James Clinic.

Our team offers personalized, comprehensive evaluations to help students stay healthy, prepared, and ready for the upcoming school year and sports season. Sports physicals help identify potential concerns early and ensure athletes can safely participate in activities.

Parents can also schedule appointments to discuss and request school vaccine exemptions for the upcoming academic year. Schools commonly require supporting documentation for medical or religious exemptions.

Allergy season support should go beyond temporary symptom management.

At the James Clinic, we take an integrative approach to helping patients navigate seasonal allergies by supporting the body’s inflammatory and histamine responses at the root level.

This season, we are highlighting three practitioner-grade supplements formulated to support immune balance and histamine regulation:
• Hista Balance — targeted daily histamine support
• Hista Balance Kids — gentle, targeted support designed for children
• HistaQuel — more comprehensive support for persistent seasonal symptoms

Many patients also pair these supplements with our Immune Boost IV, a Vitamin C-rich infusion designed to support mast cell stability, reduce inflammatory burden, and promote immune resilience during seasonal flare-ups.

Patients commonly seek support for:
• Congestion and sinus pressure
• Itchy eyes and skin irritation
• Seasonal inflammation
• Fatigue during allergy season
• Immune system support

This is support designed to help the body respond more efficiently — not simply suppress symptoms temporarily.
