Functional Medicine

While Chinese herbal medicine can be thought of as the original Functional medicine, sometimes 'modern problems need modern solutions'.  People today are exposed to drugs, chemicals, and toxins that were not around during the development of classical healing traditions.  This is why for years now we have been using Lab companies that use blood, saliva, and stool tests to get more detailed information.  We use this type of information to make strategies to overcome long standing chronic health issues.  We only use companies that have been serving physicians for decades and have been global pioneers on developing lab tests.  

​

When a patient who has been experiencing various internal health issues comes to see us, we may suggest taking a deeper look with functional medicine testing.  Certain tests can tell us detailed information on what is "off" internally.  Some tests we may use are:

• food sensitivity testing

• GI microbiome testing

• organic acids testing

• environmental testing

• C-Reactive Protein, Homocysteine, and other custom labs

​​

Some patients who happen to have "the tricky issues" may need these types of specific tests to get to the root of their problem.  We use these test results to form strategies that work with the physiology to rebuild health, not to suppress symptoms.  You do not have to "learn to live with it".  Contact us today to see what we can do for you.
