- Lab Work Interpretation: They provide detailed explanations of test results from hormone panels, stool analyses, food sensitivity tests, and toxic metal assessments. Additionally, they can identify potential issues in your routine blood work, such as nutrient deficiencies, inflammation markers, or metabolic imbalances, helping you understand the specific needs of your body.
- Nutrition and Supplementation: You’ll receive tailored nutritional guidance using food and/or targeted supplements to support your specific health goals, whether it’s managing blood sugar, improving gut health, or reducing inflammation.
- Lifestyle Support: Receive practical advice on optimizing key aspects of your lifestyle, including sleep, stress management, and exercise, all tailored to your individual needs. These recommendations are grounded in functional medicine principles, which focus on addressing the root causes of health issues, supporting the body’s natural healing processes, and creating a balanced, sustainable approach to overall well-being.
