Functional Medicine in Truckee
Truckee sits at 5,817 feet in Nevada County, a gateway community to the Lake Tahoe Basin and a hub for year-round outdoor recreation. Its residents are overwhelmingly health-oriented — skiers, trail runners, mountain bikers, and wellness seekers — making it a natural home for the kind of integrative, performance-focused medicine that Functional Medicine provides. Dr. Michelle S. Pourtabib MD IFMCP founded Soraya MD at 10266 Truckee Airport Road to fill a significant gap: access to IFM-certified root-cause medicine in the Sierra Nevada. Dr. Pourtabib completed the full IFM Certification Program in 2024 and holds board certifications in both Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine — a combination that allows her to address the full spectrum of adult and paediatric health, from metabolic dysfunction and weight management to hormonal balance, gut disorders, cognitive health, and environmental toxin exposure. Her practice is built on deep listening and time: each consultation is designed to map the complete picture of a patient's biology, lifestyle, environment, and history. Treatment plans integrate advanced laboratory diagnostics, personalised nutrition, nutraceuticals, and lifestyle medicine. Services are available in English and Spanish, with early morning, evening, and weekend appointments, plus convenient telemedicine for patients across California and Nevada who cannot attend in person.

Yes. Dr. Pourtabib offers telehealth consultations for patients located in California and Nevada, in addition to in-person appointments at the Truckee clinic.

What makes Functional Medicine different from conventional primary care in Truckee?
Conventional medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating specific diseases or symptoms, often with medication. Functional Medicine — as practised at Soraya MD — treats the body as an interconnected whole, using in-depth consultations, advanced diagnostics, and personalised lifestyle and nutrition strategies to address the underlying causes of illness. The goal is sustainable, long-term wellness rather than symptom management.
