Getting to the root cause is what we do
Ultimately, Functional Medicine uncovers why a set of symptoms exists in the first place, or why a client has a particular disease. This is done by finding the root cause or mechanics involved. As each client's care plan is unique and individualized, this discipline considers healthcare personalization. Genetically and biochemically, we are all unique. An individualized healthcare approach emphasizes the individual rather than the disease.
Gut Zoomer is an at-home stool test that assesses bacteria, yeast, viruses, and parasites in the gut microbiome, alongside relevant digestive and inflammatory markers. The panel measures hundreds of species of microbes at once, providing the most comprehensive digestive health test on the market. If you are experiencing an autoimmune condition, IBS/IBD, gastrointestinal issues, liver and gallbladder problems, brain fog, inflammation, fatigue, skin rashes, neurological disorder, mood disorder, diabetes or weight loss issues, you will benefit from this panel.
Organic Acids Test (OAT) is an at-home urine test that detects by products of daily cellular metabolism. This panel can accurately identify conditions associated with genetic disorders, nutrient deficiencies, intestinal dysbiosis, and toxicity from diet and prescription drugs. The Organic Acids panel is designed to take a broad look at multiple systems and get a snapshot of how the body is functioning. If you are experiencing fatigue, hyperactivity, insomnia, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, brain fog, and gastrointestinal issues, you will benefit from this panel.
Total Tox Burden is an at-home urine test that detects various heavy metals, mycotoxins, and environmental toxins. Toxic exposure is a reality of our daily lives, but toxic overload can stress our bodily systems and manifest in various ways. Toxins can lead to elevated oxidative stress and increase demand on the body's detoxification pathways, particularly in the liver. When the liver can't adequately eliminate toxins or infectious byproducts, these toxins can clog up normal detox pathways and lead to a range of chronic inflammation symptoms. If you're experiencing multiple chronic symptoms and can't lose weight despite diet and exercise, you could be carrying a high toxic burden.
Comprehensive Blood Chemistry Panel is one of the most efficient, effective, and affordable general screening tests. Blood work can help us establish a baseline of biomarkers to track your health and nutritional needs and is essential to understanding your current health. From here, customized recommendations can be created and tailored to your needs. Functional Medicine Practitioners use a more strict and narrow reference range when reading blood work results compared to conventional medicine. After surveying blood work, what a conventional physician might deem as normal might be considered abnormal to a Functional Medicine Practitioner. This can explain why you may be experiencing symptoms like thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, inflammation, etc., even though your physician has told you everything looks normal.
Tickborne diseases and other stealth infections (hidden infections that cause chronic strange sometimes ambiguous symptoms) are rising throughout the World from a variety of ticks and other stinging insects, which carry and pass on different microorganisms to humans and animals. Tickborne diseases have more than doubled in 13 years and represent 77% of all vector-borne disease reports. Lyme disease accounts for 82% of all cases.
