Functional medicine takes a comprehensive, systems-based approach to understanding health. Rather than looking at labs in isolation or only screening for disease, we evaluate patterns and relationships across multiple body systems to understand how your body is functioning as a whole. Foundational testing often includes advanced blood work to assess metabolic health, inflammation, nutrient status, thyroid and sex hormones, immune function, cardiometabolic risk, and markers of gut and liver health. These labs help us identify subtle imbalances long before they become diagnosable disease and allow for highly personalized treatment plans.
When appropriate, we also incorporate specialty functional medicine testing to gain deeper insight into root causes. This may include salivary or dried urine cortisol testing to evaluate stress physiology and adrenal function, urine-based hormone metabolism testing to understand how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol are being produced and metabolized, comprehensive stool studies to assess the gut microbiome, digestion, inflammation, and infections, or SIBO breath testing to evaluate bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. We partner with high-quality specialty laboratories such as Precision Analytical (DUTCH), Genova Diagnostics, ZRT Laboratory, and others to ensure accurate, clinically meaningful results. Together, these tools allow us to create targeted, evidence-based strategies that support long-term health, resilience, and optimal performance.
