Here is what you can expect from the Functional Medicine and diagnostic testing process:
- Intake Interview – In-depth intake
- Functional Labs – Comprehensive testing aimed at getting to the root cause of your symptoms and health issues.
- Phone Consult – A 30-minute phone call to review the results with a focus on functional ranges vs. lab reference ranges. How many times have you just been handed your results and told they are “normal” because they are color-coded green. The lab reference ranges have changed significantly over time as the population gets sicker and incidence of autoimmune, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances, etc. have increased. We use functional ranges when evaluating your labs in conjunction with your medical history. Abnormal levels are warning signs of disease and dysfunction.
- Personalized Treatment Plan – Recommendations on nutritional supplementation, dietary guidelines, and actionable next steps to achieve a healthier and happier you.
For the best treatment results, keep a few things in mind:
- Please show up on time
- Don’t eat a large meal before your visit
- Wear loose, comfortable clothes
- Be sure to discuss any questions or concerns with your functional medicine practitioner
- Follow your treatment plan between visits
- Keep all of your appointments, as each visit builds upon the previous ones
How treatment works
Functional medicine is revolutionizing healthcare by offering a personalized and holistic approach to wellness. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms in isolation, functional medicine delves deep into the root causes of health issues. This innovative approach utilizes advanced functional lab testing to uncover hidden imbalances in the body. By analyzing a wide range of biomarkers, from gut health to hormonal balance, practitioners can create tailored treatment plans that address the unique needs of each individual. For those struggling with chronic conditions or simply seeking optimal wellness, functional medicine offers a path to *comprehensive healing*. It’s not just about managing symptoms; it’s about restoring balance and vitality to every aspect of your health.
By combining cutting-edge science with a patient-centered philosophy, functional medicine empowers you to take control of your well-being and achieve lasting results.
Your role in the healing process
Imagine taking control of your health journey, becoming an active participant in your own healing process. This is the empowering reality of functional medicine, where you play a crucial role in uncovering the root causes of your health concerns. Unlike traditional approaches, functional medicine views your body as an interconnected system, not just a collection of symptoms to suppress.
As a patient, you’ll work closely with your practitioner to dive deep into your health history, lifestyle, and unique biochemistry. Through advanced and comprehensive lab testing, we’ll identify the underlying factors contributing to your condition. This personalized approach allows us to tailor treatments specifically to your needs, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.
