Have you ever gone to your healthcare provider for a health concern only to be told, “Everything looks normal on your blood work”? 

If the answer is yes, you’re not alone.  In fact, the majority of our new patient consultations are people looking for answers where traditional medicine has left them feeling unheard and unseen. Reporting that their questions about their health often go unanswered. 

Appropriate lab testing is essential to functional medicine because it provides objective data and insights into an individual’s unique biochemistry and physiological functions. 

Instead of relying solely on symptoms or guesswork,  tests allow healthcare practitioners to precisely identify underlying imbalances, deficiencies, or dysfunctions within the body. 

These tests encompass a wide range of biomarkers, including blood chemistry, hormone levels, genetic markers, gut microbiome composition, food sensitivities, and environmental toxin exposures. By leveraging this comprehensive data, functional medicine practitioners can tailor personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of health issues, leading to more effective and sustainable outcomes for patients. Testing empowers patients by providing additional insights and information to guide informed decision-making to optimize health and wellness.
