What happens when a physician becomes the patient? Dr. Judy Toney's journey offers a powerful glimpse into functional medicine's transformative potential. After leaving traditional family practice in 2015, frustrated by the constraints of insurance requirements, Dr. Toney established AtoneMD (formerly Ageless Health and Aesthetics) to create a new kind of healthcare experience.

Dr. Toney's practice has evolved significantly since its inception. Originally balancing aesthetic treatments with bioidentical hormone therapy, she now devotes approximately 75% of her practice to comprehensive functional medicine—addressing gut health, adrenal function, immune conditions, and more. What drives her is a fundamental belief that medicine should identify root causes rather than merely mask symptoms with medications.

The most compelling aspect of Dr. Toney's story is her current personal battle with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), which has her "literally treating on myself right now everything that I've been treating everyone else for for years." This firsthand experience has deepened her empathy and understanding, allowing her to connect with patients on a profound level. "I can say 'me too,'" she explains, highlighting how her own health journey has strengthened her commitment to patient-centered care.

Unlike many medical practices that prioritize volume and efficiency, AtoneMD offers unhurried appointments in a comfortable setting where patients truly feel heard. "We're not going to throw meds at you," Dr. Toney promises. Instead, she creates space for patients to relax, share their stories, and actively participate in their healing journeys. This approach has attracted countless individuals who have exhausted conventional medical options without finding relief or answers.
