You should expect a warm welcome and to be treated with kindness and respect. We are a fairly small office and patients find it relaxing and comfortable. There will be a lot of paperwork in advance so that we can understand you better at the first visit. My consultations with patients are lengthy and the exams are comprehensive.
We work with a variety of labs including many functional medicine labs. We also do some testing on-site. Evaluations are typically in areas of your health, background and lifestyle that are new and exciting to most patients. We often hear "Finally, someone is able and willing to help me find answers!"

A body composition analysis may reveal poor beneficial fats in the cell membranes, dehydration, toxicity, and inappropriate fat content. It also calculates a person's basal metabolic rate. Detects the earliest sign of inflexibility of the blood vessels from plaque build-up. Endothelial dysfunction is an independent risk factor for cardiac disease.
We are all exposed to and carrying toxins in our bodies that are known health risks. Some of us clear them from our bodies more easily than others. Fat soluble toxins accumulate in our fat and can contribute to poor cell function and ill health. They can be the cause of symptoms and "conditions" or they can additive to the burden of illness currently experienced.
The gastrointestinal tract is the foundation of health. It is the site where the outside world (food, water, inhaled particles, contaminants, etc.) meets the inside world of your body. The barrier of your intestinal cells (with your immune system and intestinal bacteria) decides what nutrients get absorbed into the blood and what toxins and pathogens get kept out of the blood.
Hormones come from the pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. In tiny amounts, they have significant influences over our health and well-being. Blood and urine testing evaluates hormone levels and patterns that may be related to symptoms and conditions, how safely (or not) hormones are removed from the body, and the influence of stress.
