Functional Medicine works with natural medicine, utilizing herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic supplements, lifestyle modification, and foods to balance the body from diseases. Functional medicine works well with Western medicine in improving the effectiveness of certain medications and helping the body decrease the side effects.

Functional Medicine works with:

  • Thyroid issues (Hashimoto, Hyperthyroidism)
  • Weight Loss & Weight gain 
  • Hormonal balance (cortisol, testosterone, and others)
  • Stress management 
  • sleep issues 
  • headaches/migraines 
  •  Low back pain 
  • Chronic Inflammation

Functional blood lab analysis goes deeper into the root cause of the disease by analyzing hormones, lipids, enzymatic reactions, methylation process (MTFTH), and mineral deficiencies. We do not perform any blood draws, urine, stool, or swabs in the office. They are sent to an outside facility, and test kits are shipped to the client’s house with instructions.

Blood Lab Analysis verifies:

  • Hormones (Thyroid, cortisol, testosterone, DHEA, estrogen, etc.)
  • Lipids (HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, Apo A/B, Phospholipase)
  • CBC, CMP
  • Vitamins (D, B’s, A, E, K, C)
  • Minerals (Zinc, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium)
  • Sleep issues (Melatonin, Serotonin, Tryptophan)
  • Autoimmune Disorders (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, IBS, etc)
  • Heavy Metals, Parasites, Mycotoxins (Mold), GI Mapping
