Functional Testing
Good nutrition and a balanced lifestyle go a long way in rebalancing all systems of the body. We always start with this foundation.
But many of my clients come to me already on track with their diet and they still have symptoms like digestive problems, joint pain, brain issues and skin problems.
They’re frustrated. In some cases, their doctors have told them nothing is wrong. But they know that something isn’t right. They want to take a deeper dive into why these symptoms persist.
Others clients have a diagnosis like autoimmunity or IBS. They have been offered medications, but they want to take more control of their health and explore alternative therapies.
This is when functional testing is so useful.
Why do we use functional testing?
You are bio-individual. We use functional testing to gain insight into exactly what is happening in your body. This allows us to create dietary strategies, lifestyle strategies and supplement protocols that are the most targeted and specific to you.
We test – we don’t guess. We identify the exact problem. We personalize the solution to you for your optimal health.
