If you’re trying to decide how to work with Peace and Calm Health Functional Medicine, you’re not alone. Many women want support for hormones, metabolism, energy, mood, sleep, or midlife symptoms—but they’re not sure whether they need medical 1:1 care or a group-based program.

Here’s the simplest way to think about it:

• 1:1 care is for women who need comprehensive medical support, advanced diagnostic testing, and individualized treatment for complex or persistent symptoms. Peace and Calm Health+1
• Group programs are for women who want education, structure, coaching, and community—with different options depending on your goals and the level of support you want. Dr. Jennifer Horton+1

Below is a clear breakdown of each option.

1:1 Care: Hormone & Metabolic Wellness Program

Best For: Women who want (or need) a medical, personalized approach—especially when symptoms feel complex, layered, or “hard to move.”

1:1 care is ideal if you:

• Have persistent symptoms despite “normal labs”
• Need deeper diagnostic clarity (hormones, thyroid, metabolism, gut, inflammation, stress physiology)
• Want a plan that includes individualized treatment and ongoing adjustments
• Prefer direct medical oversight and a structured care path

In Dr. Horton’s 1:1 model, care typically starts with an in-depth intake and a comprehensive consultation. Depending on your situation, functional medicine labs may be ordered before or around your initial visit, and you’ll leave with a customized, action-oriented plan that can include nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress support (plus supplements/botanicals when appropriate). Visits may be done in person or via a HIPAA-secure video portal. Peace and Calm Health

On the Peace & Calm Method™ programs side, 1:1 care is designed around whole-systems evaluation and support—hormones, gut, detox pathways, inflammation, daily rhythms—and includes comprehensive visits, advanced functional + integrative testing, and ongoing monitoring/support inside a defined program structure.

Important Note: Functional medicine consultations require specific location/eligibility rules (for example, current site guidance states you must be a resident of Colorado or Florida for functional medicine consultations). Peace and Calm Health+1

Hormone Lifestyle Reset: Hybrid Weight-Loss Focused Support

Best For: Women who want a structured, physiology-first approach to weight optimization/body recomposition with education, accountability, and community support.

Hormone Lifestyle Reset is a 10-week group program designed for people with unresolved weight loss and inflammatory issues—and it emphasizes factors many women overlook in midlife weight changes, such as sleep, digestion, stress, toxins, and lifestyle patterns. Dr. Jennifer Horton

Your description matches the way the program is positioned: it’s a hybrid model combining:

• 1:1 consultations + weekly group coaching, and
• structured education and accountability, focused specifically on metabolism and weight-related goals.

On the program page, Dr. Horton also describes it as a mind-body-spirit approach that supports long-term change and includes a supportive community. The offering notes that non-members can receive two 45-minute 1:1 visits with Dr. Jen as part of the program. Dr. Jennifer Horton

Choose This If You’re Saying:
“I want structure, coaching, and accountability around weight/metabolism, and I don’t necessarily need a full medical deep-dive right now.”

Wild Collective: Physician-Led Education And Connection

Best For: Women who want a physician-led, educational experience with reflection, guided practices, and meaningful discussion—without it being a medical treatment or weight-loss program.

Wild Collective is positioned as a supportive community for like-minded women, offering health education to help deepen self-awareness, emotional wellbeing, and connection to your inner voice and intuition. It includes curriculum topics like digestion/microbiome, detoxification, stress, mood, blood sugar regulation, and thyroid. Peace and Calm Health

This aligns with what you specified: a thoughtful, connected space to navigate midlife—not medical treatment and not a weight-loss program.

Choose This If You’re Saying:
“I want learning, support, and connection with other women in midlife, but I’m not looking for individualized medical care right now.”

How To Choose The Right Option

If you’re stuck between options, these questions usually make it clear:

Do You Need Medical Diagnosis And Treatment?

If you want advanced testing, symptom-root-cause workups, and individualized treatment decisions, 1:1 care is typically the best fit. Peace and Calm Health+1

Is Your Primary Goal Weight And Metabolism?

If your main goal is weight optimization/body recomposition with a structured plan and accountability, Hormone Lifestyle Reset may be the best match. Dr. Jennifer Horton

Do You Want Education And Community Without Medical Care?

If you want physician-led learning, reflection, and support (without it being clinical treatment), Wild Collective is designed for that. Peace and Calm Health
