Functional medicine is a holistic, comprehensive approach to disease prevention, health, and well-being. This alternative approach to Traditional Western medicine is individualized and focused on finding the root cause of disease.
What does this really mean, though? The functional medicine approach to health is like a detective investigating a crime scene, looking for clues to uncover how the crime was committed and who did it. Instead of looking for fingerprints or gun powder residue, practitioners of function medicine look at a patient’s environment, lifestyle, and genetics.
On-Site Medical Care evaluates a patient’s environment, lifestyle, and genetics through an extensive questionnaire and a series of lab tests. We start with the Comprehensive Functional Medicine Lab Panel, an in-house blood test, and then depending on the patient recommend OAT, DUTCH, and Diurnal Cortisol testing.
