What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a root-cause approach to chronic health problems. Instead of focusing only on managing symptoms, it asks what underlying dysfunction may be driving them, such as problems with digestion, blood sugar, hormones, immune activity, or nutrient status, and how those systems affect one another.

Why does lab testing come first?
Many people who come to us have already tried a long list of diets, supplements, and suggestions without knowing what their body actually needs. Testing first means the plan is based on your results rather than guesswork.
Depending on your symptoms and history, functional lab testing may include:
- Expanded blood work, including a full thyroid panel, blood sugar markers, and nutrients. See what a complete thyroid and hormone panel includes.
- Comprehensive stool testing for digestion, inflammation, and gut bacteria. See our guide to comprehensive stool testing.
- Stress hormone and sex hormone testing.
- Food sensitivity testing. See our allergies and food sensitivities page.
Not every patient needs every test. Part of the process is choosing the tests that will actually answer your questions.

Is functional medicine a replacement for my regular doctor?
No. We work alongside patients’ existing medical providers, and many patients continue seeing their primary care doctor or specialists while working with us. Functional medicine is not emergency care. If you have a medical emergency, call 911. Do not stop or change prescribed medication without talking to the doctor who prescribed it.
