Functional Medicine is a modality that's becoming more and more popular, utilizing a combination of both conventional and complementary therapies to address medical issues. It provides a whole body approach and is especially effective for longterm, chronic health issues. The goal of functional medicine is to utilize laboratory testing to help direct sustainable lifestyle changes supported by limited nutrient supplementation as needed.
Patients for whom functional medicine is a good fit tend to have chronic, complex problems with underlying causes that may not appear during regular lab testing. They are often well versed in their symptomatology and have been managing their health as well as possible up to that point. Additional testing, looking at results through the lens of functional medicine, can provide further insight into the underlying causes of symptoms. Some of the common tests that we will run include:
Comprehensive Functional Blood Panel - $265
GI Map Stool Testing - $423
ION Panel + Amino Acids - $440
Dutch Complete Adrenal + Sex Hormone Panel w/ Cortisol Awakening Response - $350
Wheat + Gluten Sensitivity Panel - $220
Mercury TriTest - $190
Once the functional medicine labs* have been interpreted, a treatment plan that typically includes dietary adjustments, simple lifestyle alterations, and occasional supplements can be tailored to meet each patient's specific, individual needs.
*At present, labs are not billed through insurance and are billed directly to the patient. Some laboratories provide receipts/super bills that your insurance may or may not accept for direct-to-patient reimbursement. Labs may be run multiple times, several months apart, to ensure that any aberrant results have resolved post-treatment.
