Functional Medicine at YES MD Atlanta
Physician-Guided Wellness Focused on Helping You Feel Like Yourself Again
More Than 35 Years of Experience Helping Patients Optimize Their Health
Every wellness program begins with a comprehensive physician consultation, detailed laboratory evaluation, and a personalized treatment strategy developed around your symptoms, medical history, laboratory findings, and long-term health goals.
You’re not simply paying for laboratory testing, supplements, or medications.
You’re investing in more than 35 years of physician experience dedicated to helping you better understand your body, optimize your health, and improve your quality of life.
Our goal is not simply to treat symptoms.
Our goal is to help your body function the way it was designed to.
Rather than masking symptoms with temporary solutions, we identify opportunities to optimize the systems that influence nearly every aspect of your health—including hormones, thyroid function, metabolism, gut health, nutrition, body composition, and emotional well-being.
Our physician-guided wellness programs are designed to help you feel healthier, stronger, more energetic, and more resilient for years to come.
Our Functional Wellness Programs
Below are the core services offered under Physician-Guided Functional Wellness at YES MD. Each Programs is connected to a dedicated page for more detailed information.

Hormone Optimization (BHRT & HRT)
- Increased energy and vitality
- Better sleep
- Improved mood
- Enhanced mental clarity
- Increased muscle tone
- Healthy metabolism
- Weight management

Thyroid Optimization
Your thyroid regulates nearly every cell in your body and plays a vital role in metabolism, energy production, mood, memory, and cognitive function.
Even subtle thyroid imbalances can contribute to:
- Brain fog
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Hair loss
- Poor sleep
- Difficulty concentrating
At YES MD, Dr. Knott takes a comprehensive approach to thyroid health using detailed laboratory evaluation and physician-guided treatment to optimize thyroid function—not simply bring laboratory values into the “normal” range.
Our goal is to help patients:
- Restore healthy metabolism
- Increase energy and vitality
- Regain mental clarity and focus
- Reduce brain fog
- Healthy metabolism
- Support healthy weight management
- Promote healthier hair and skin
- Enhance long-term wellness
Medical Weight Loss
Weight gain is often linked to hormonal shifts, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, or metabolic imbalance—not simply diet or willpower.
Our Functional Medicine-based weight-loss programs address:
- Hormones and metabolism
- Thyroid optimization
- Insulin resistance
- Lifestyle and nutritional factors
Gut Health
Hair Replacement & Hair Loss Support
Hair loss is frequently connected to internal factors such as hormones, thyroid imbalance, stress, inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies.
At YES MD, hair restoration begins with identifying the root cause and may include:
- Hormone and thyroid evaluation
- Functional lab testing
- Medical and regenerative hair treatments
Sexual Wellness (Men & Women)
Sexual wellness is a vital part of overall health and quality of life. Hormones, circulation, metabolism, and tissue health all play a role in sexual function.
Functional Medicine supports sexual wellness by addressing:
- Hormonal balance
- Blood flow and circulation
- Libido and arousal concerns
- Comfort and tissue health
Medical and device-based therapies are available and tailored to individual needs.
Peptide Therapy
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body, helping support important functions related to repair, recovery, inflammation, metabolism, sleep, immune health, and healthy aging.
At YES MD Atlanta, peptide therapy is physician-guided and personalized based on your goals, symptoms, and overall wellness plan. For many patients, peptides can be a helpful tool alongside hormone optimization, thyroid support, weight management, and functional medicine care.
- Improved recovery
- Healthy metabolism
- Energy support
- Inflammation support
- Sleep quality
- Immune support
- Healthy aging
Emotional Wellness
Many patients are surprised to discover how dramatically hormones, thyroid function, nutrition, sleep quality, and metabolism can influence emotional well-being.
As these foundational systems improve, patients often experience:
- Greater emotional stability
- Improved resilience to stress
- Better focus and concentration
- Increased motivation
- Enhanced mental clarity
- Improved quality of sleep
While Functional Medicine is not a replacement for psychiatric or psychological care when needed, optimizing the body’s physiology can play an important role in supporting emotional wellness and helping patients feel like themselves again.
A Long-Term Investment in Your Health
Unlike traditional medicine, our programs are designed to evolve with you.
Most of our hormone optimization, thyroid, and functional medicine programs are structured as one-year physician-managed wellness programs, allowing Dr. Knott to monitor your progress through ongoing laboratory testing, adjust treatments as your body changes, and provide continuous physician oversight throughout your wellness journey.
This long-term approach helps ensure your treatment remains personalized, effective, and aligned with your health goals.
Ready to Invest in Your Future?
Your health is one of the most valuable investments you’ll ever make.
Our programs are ideal for patients who are ready to invest in understanding their health and working closely with an experienced physician to optimize how their body functions.
If you’re seeking diagnosis or treatment for complex autoimmune diseases, cancer, or other conditions requiring specialty medical care, we encourage you to continue working with your primary care physician and the appropriate specialists. Our role is to complement your healthcare team by optimizing the systems that influence your energy, vitality, metabolism, hormone balance, thyroid health, and overall wellness.
If you’re ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and begin optimizing your health from the inside out, we’d love to help.
