Nutrient Deficiency Evaluation
Subclinical nutrient deficiencies are widespread and can drive fatigue, immune dysfunction, and chronic disease. We use advanced testing to identify gaps standard panels miss.
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
Fatigue, hair loss, brittle nails, frequent illness, muscle cramps, poor wound healing, and mood changes.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Poor diet, malabsorption from gut disorders, medication-induced depletion, chronic stress, and aging.
Functional Evaluation
Comprehensive micronutrient panels covering vitamins (D, B12, folate, B6), minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium), and functional markers (methylmalonic acid, homocysteine).
Treatment Approach
Targeted supplementation based on results, dietary optimization, addressing absorption barriers, and periodic retesting.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for numbness or tingling (B12), severe fatigue with pallor (iron), or muscle spasms with cardiac symptoms (magnesium).
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.
