at Modern Functional Medicine Center — Houston, TX

About

Dr. Andy Martin co-founded Modern Functional Medicine Center after more than 15 years in interventional radiology. He grew up in Texas and began his medical training at the University of Texas at Austin. He then earned his medical degree from UT Medical Branch in Galveston. His surgery internship and diagnostic radiology residency took place at Loma Linda University, where he served as Chief Resident. He completed a fellowship year at UC San Diego.

Over his radiology career, Dr. Martin performed more than 5,000 interventional procedures. He treated clogged arteries, advanced cancers, and organ failure. Those years at the bedside convinced him that medicine needed to meet patients earlier in the disease process. He brought that conviction into functional medicine, where he now uses advanced biomarker testing to uncover hidden imbalances before conditions become disabling. His clinical focus includes gut health, hormonal and metabolic dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, thyroid disorders, brain health, and mold toxicity. He holds licensure in 30-plus states and sees patients entirely via telehealth.
