Understand the health of your gut, detect dysbiosis, and identify food intolerances or inflammatory triggers through advanced stool analysis. - Nutritional Deficiency Panels:
Determine if your body is getting the nutrients it needs by testing for vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant levels. This testing is key to optimizing your health at the cellular level. - Toxin and Heavy Metal Testing:
Identify environmental exposures and toxic burdens that may be affecting your immune system, energy, or cognitive function. - Genetic Testing:
Explore your genetic predispositions and how they may be influencing your metabolism, hormone function, and detoxification pathways. This testing helps to create truly personalized health plans.
Integrative medicine is not about alternative medicine; it’s about integrating the best of both conventional and complementary approaches to optimize health.
