The Importance of Functional Medicine Lab Testing

 

What is Functional Medicine Lab Testing? 

While traditional lab testing screens for disease, Functional Medicine Lab Testing detects if your body is tracking toward it—even if you aren’t yet experiencing symptoms. Consequently, the root of a potential health problem can be pinpointed before it fully manifests. Functional Medicine Lab Testing also uses bio-individuality to dictate a person’s optimal levels, instead of standardized ranges. This approach allows an individual’s body to determine the levels at which it can achieve ultimate vitality, since everyone experiences symptoms differently.

How we determine which labs to order:

After a detailed discussion regarding your health history and current concerns, we will determine which lab tests are appropriate to order. For example, if you’re eating well, but having trouble losing weight, we would suggest a food sensitivities test. 

How we use your lab results to reach peak wellness: 

Once we receive the results of your labs, we will evaluate how your body is functioning and help ascertain the cause of what’s troubling you. From there, we will identify which protocols you should follow in order to see improvement. If symptoms continue to persist, subsequent testing can be used to discover further underlying causes, and your protocols can be adjusted for long-term success.
