Allergy Concerns
Allergies reflect immune overreactivity. We look at gut barrier integrity, histamine metabolism, and immune regulation to reduce allergic burden from the inside out.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, hives, and seasonal or perennial symptom patterns.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Gut permeability, histamine intolerance, low DAO enzyme activity, immune dysregulation, and nutrient deficiencies.
Functional Evaluation
IgE panels, histamine and DAO levels, gut permeability markers, stool analysis, and nutrient status.
Treatment Approach
Gut-healing protocols, DAO enzyme support, low-histamine diet trial, quercetin and vitamin C, and conventional antihistamines when needed.
When It Is Urgent
Seek emergency care immediately for throat swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is functional medicine different from conventional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for root causes using advanced testing and personalized protocols that address gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, and lifestyle factors.
What kind of testing does functional medicine use?
Common tests include comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity panels, organic acids testing, micronutrient panels, hormone profiles, and advanced inflammatory markers.
How long does a functional medicine plan take to work?
Most patients notice improvements within four to twelve weeks. Complex or long-standing conditions may take several months of targeted support.
Does insurance cover functional medicine testing?
Some labs are covered by insurance. We review options beforehand so there are no surprises.
Can I do functional medicine alongside my current treatment?
