How do you know that your plan is working? We re-test to make sure! Re-testing gives us the data to make any changes to your plan as needed and based on sound science-based nutrition. This helps us keep the momentum of progress going. Re-testing may be part of your goals in your targeted health plan and may only be necessary for some.

Some patients come to us feeling great and aim for a long-term plan that helps detect minor problems before they become big ones and one that keeps them feeling their best. 

These plans are as individualized as the patients we see. They can include an annual check-up or ongoing support – whatever your needs, we will help you develop the right plan.

Understanding the benefits of working with a functional medicine team

Functional medicine is a form of healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of health problems. Rather than simply treating symptoms, functional medicine practitioners seek to understand the underlying imbalances in the body causing the symptoms.

This approach to healthcare is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic health conditions or those who have not found relief from conventional medical treatments. 

By taking a holistic approach to wellness, functional medicine practitioners can help patients achieve long-lasting results and improve their overall quality of life.

Functional medicine is also a patient-centered approach to healthcare. Rather than simply prescribing medications or procedures, functional medicine practitioners work with patients to develop personalized plans that address their unique needs and goals. This collaborative approach to healthcare empowers patients to take an active role in their health and well-being.
