Functional Medicine Lab Testing
Test, Don’t Guess.
Functional Medicine Lab Testing aims to address and prevent chronic dis-ease by evaluating patterns of imbalance in the body. Functional medicine uses lab tests because they are greatly successful in identifying specific problems. As the body is an interconnected system, small imbalances or dysfunctions may build up and manifest as severe symptoms.
Often, these appear as a strong feeling of constant fatigue, poor health or as an illness or symptom that does not improve with treatment. The specific information provided by lab tests allows practitioners to understand the ecosystem of your body, and consider deep health factors that influence your wellness.
Functional Medicine Lab Testing has gained significant attention in the past decade. This can be attributed to their ability to find root causes of dis-eases and symptoms that traditional doctors have been unable to diagnose correctly. Understanding the underlying imbalances may allow the practitioner to reverse troublesome symptoms without lifelong medications, surgeries and treatments.
