Food Sensitivity Concerns
Food sensitivities cause delayed, hard-to-trace symptoms. We use elimination diets and testing to identify triggers and the gut permeability issues that underlie them.
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
Bloating, headaches, joint pain, fatigue, skin rashes, brain fog, and mood changes that fluctuate with diet.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Increased intestinal permeability, dysbiosis, chronic stress, and repetitive exposure to reactive foods.
Functional Evaluation
IgG food sensitivity panels, elimination-reintroduction protocols, gut permeability markers, and stool analysis.
Treatment Approach
Guided elimination diet, gut-healing protocols with L-glutamine and zinc, and strategic food reintroduction.
When It Is Urgent
Seek emergency care for throat swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis (true allergy, not sensitivity).
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?
Yes. Functional medicine works alongside conventional care. We coordinate with your other providers to build a unified plan.
