Want to feel better?

Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics can help.

When a company’s tag line is “Feel better. Function better. Move better. Look better,” you know it is a place to go and check out!

At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, their philosophy is simple: every patient deserves personalized care that enhances how they feel, function, move, and look. Founded in 2011 by Tony and Lorie Fields in Lawrence, KS, Regain began as a small clinic with a big vision, which is making hormone replacement therapy more accessible, informed, and rooted in a function-first mindset. 

This innovative approach caught the attention of Dr. Kathy Gaumer, who joined as Medical Director in 2015. Under her leadership, Regain expanded to Leawood, becoming a cornerstone of the community and evolving into a premier center for both functional and aesthetic medicine. 

Their team boasts over 50 years of combined medical expertise, and they have embraced the future of functional health by offering cutting-edge, cell-supportive treatments like HRT, TRT, NAD+ therapy and GLP-1 medications. 

“Every step of our journey has been driven by one goal: helping you live vibrantly at every stage of life,” noted Dr. Gaumer, continuing, “We’re not just transforming the anti-aging industry, we’re leading a movement we call the pro-longevity space. It’s a mindset shift that focuses not on turning back the clock, but on extending vitality, energy, and health span. By addressing the root causes of aging and supporting cellular health, we help our patients feel their best for longer.”

They personally assess each patient and understand that the hormone journey is different for both men and women, but no less impactful on daily life. For women, it’s often about navigating the changes that come with menopause, while for men, it can involve work-related stress or other life factors that affect hormone balance. 

Regardless of the cause, these shifts can dramatically influence energy, mood, sleep, and overall well-being. 

“We have a unique, holistic, science-driven, ‘test don’t guess’ approach. Unlike traditional treatments that often focus on symptom management, we prioritize uncovering the why behind health concerns,” she continued.  “From hormone optimization and cell-supportive therapies like NAD+ to groundbreaking technologies that enhance function and appearance, we design personalized solutions that treat the whole person. It’s this commitment to innovation, combined with decades of expertise, that positions us as trailblazers in a growing movement toward a healthier, more vibrant future.”

Dr. Gaumer has been a board-certified OB/GYN for over 30 years. She personally reviews every lab and makes time to meet with patients one-on-one, ensuring treatment plans are backed by both medical knowledge and genuine care. 

Having a board-certified physician who is also trained in functional medicine is a huge advantage. 

“It means we can blend the best of traditional medicine with a focus on getting to the root cause of health issues. While some clinics might stick to cookie-cutter protocols or rely on less experienced providers, we take pride in combining scientifically proven medical expertise with a whole-body perspective.”

She explained that hormones play a huge role in how our bodies change as we age. They affect everything from energy to mood to metabolism, and how well your body repairs itself. But as we get older, hormone levels naturally drop, leading to things like low energy, weight gain, muscle loss, and that "foggy" feeling. 

At Regain, they focus on keeping your hormones in balance to help you feel your best. By using advanced testing and personalized treatments, they can restore hormone levels to where they should be. This can mean better energy, improved sleep, stronger muscles, and even healthier skin. 

Their team specializes in treatments that help you look and feel your best at every stage of life. From restoring energy and vitality to enhancing your natural beauty, they offer a comprehensive approach to wellness and aesthetics. 

“Hormone optimization is at the heart of what we do, helping to combat metabolic changes, brain fog, and other signs of imbalance. For those looking to age gracefully, our pro-longevity solutions, including NAD+ infusions that work on a cellular level to keep you energized and thriving,” she continued. “We also provide personalized weight management plans, featuring GLP-1 medications, to support sustainable and effective weight loss. When it comes to intimacy and confidence, our sexual wellness treatments like EmpowerRF and O-Shot for women, the P-Shot® for men, and acoustic wave therapy, are designed to improve function and restore vitality. On the aesthetic side, we offer everything from Botox and fillers to rejuvenating Vampire Facials®, giving you a natural, radiant look. “We are the only certified providers of Vampire Facials and Vampire Facelifts in the KC area. And for those experiencing hair loss, we are the exclusive provider of the GetHairMD treatment system, which provides advanced solutions for thicker, healthier hair. Every treatment at Regain is tailored to your unique needs, blending science, expertise, and care to help you achieve the results you deserve.”

The space itself is designed to be a relaxing, welcoming environment where patients can feel at ease and know they are in expert hands. Whether you arrive for a functional consultation or an aesthetic treatment, they take the time to walk you through every step, so you feel confident and informed. 

“We’re proud to say that over 450 five-star reviews from our patients reflect the trust and care we build with each visit. We’re incredibly proud of our exceptional team. Their expertise, passion, and commitment to patient care are what make us stand out,” she smiled. “It’s because of them that we can confidently say it’s truly not just about the treatments, it’s about helping you feel heard, supported and empowered. Every time you leave, we want you to feel more confident, more energized, and ready to take on your world. We love to hear our patients say, ‘I’ve been Regained!’”
