FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE
Advanced, comprehensive lab work that far exceeds conventional testing is utilized to explore all systems of the patient's body at the deepest level possible. Blood, urine, stool, saliva and breath testing identify critical imbalances with significantly greater precision and sensitivity than standard labs. Physician-grade prescription supplements and targeted nutritional strategies are employed to restore balance and optimize all biomarkers, treating the root cause and helping each patient reach their fullest human potential.
