Functional medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual. Your assessment and treatment is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.

Food allergy testing is used to find out if you have an allergy to a specific food, sometimes multiple foods. It may also be used to determine whether you have an allergy or, instead, a sensitivity to a food. A food allergy is a condition that causes your immune system to treat a normally harmless type of food as if it was a dangerous virus, bacteria, or other infectious agent. The immune system response to a food allergy ranges from mild rashes to abdominal pain to a life-threatening complication called anaphylactic shock. + learn more about food allergy testing
Gastrointestinal (GI) health is central to our overall health and well-being, with a role that extends beyond digestion and absorption of nutrients and fluid. A healthy GI development and function also impacts immune function and even our mood and mental wellbeing. A balanced gut microbiome is critical to overall health and wellbeing. + learn more about gastrointestinal health and weight management
Hormonal imbalances may be to blame for a range of unwanted symptoms from fatigue or weight gain to itchy skin or low mood. Hormones are chemicals produced by glands in the endocrine system and released into the bloodstream. An imbalance occurs when there is too much or too little of a hormone. Your hormones are important for regulating many different processes in the body including appetite and metabolism, sleep cycles, reproductive cycles and sexual function, body temperature and mood. + learn more about hormone imbalance therapy
