Functional medicine is personalized care that deals with preventing and treating underlying causes, instead of just symptoms, for serious chronic disease. It bridges the gap between conventional and alternative medicine. It is a science-based field of health care using cutting- edge diagnostic testing along with a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine the root of health issues. It focuses on supporting the body naturally with diet and lifestyle modifications, natural supplementation and detoxification programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1513650969672-V84VDI5455K39E3RCATH/image-asset.jpeg What is Functional Medicine? - Why do functional lab testing? We want to understand what is happening with our patients, and we like to have objective ways to identify the root of the problem and to track the success of our treatment. Licensed acupuncturists in Florida are legally able to order blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, x-rays, MRIs and other laboratory or imaging studies. Using independent laboratories, we are able to order tests which can guide our treatment. Laboratories that conduct functional medicine testing that we use include Quest Diagnostics, Lab Corp, Genova, Doctors Data, Cyrex Labs, BioHealth, Quicksilver Scientific, KMBO and Precision Analytical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1524270877843-A4SO0EGA4O02GVCISNBN/bright-cardiac-cardiology-433267.jpg What is Functional Medicine? - How are our tests different from what your doctor would order? Chances are that you have an insurance plan which dictates which tests are “medically necessary”. Because allopathic medicine and the insurance system are set up to look only for pathology, tests which assess general physiological function in absence of clear evidence of pathology are usually considered to be unnecessary. Allopathic medicine also does not test for things that they do not have a medical treatment for. Sometimes, the tests your insurance company will authorize are simply not comprehensive enough to determine what is really going on. We order the tests we need to look for sub-clinical functional disorders, rather than ordering tests simply to confirm the presence of disease. While this may cost you more money in the short run, it provides significantly more information which we can use to find the root of your complaints rather than providing a band-aid solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1511982465238-6XYA13AAUHGZPUF8JPUY/underlying+causes.jpg What is Functional Medicine? - Pathological vs. Functional Ranges While standard medical laboratories utilize pathological ranges to analyze the results of your blood work, we analyze the results comparing them against functional ranges which are typically narrower. This allows us to find “sub-clinical” functional imbalances which may be causing symptoms even though there is no “pathology”. The primary difference between the functional and pathological ranges is the degree of deviation allowed within the normal ranges. Pathological ranges are broader, and it is likely that results outside this range ARE indicative of pathology. Pathological ranges are determined by taking the average results from all the people (who are mostly diseased and medicated) who are tested at a particular lab over a year. Thus, the normal range will be slightly different for every laboratory, and each year the “normal range” changes slightly, based on who was tested at the particular facility. Functional ranges are generally narrower than pathological ranges, and it is common for there to be deviations from the functional range which are still within the “normal” pathological range. These deviations indicate functional imbalance, but are not indicative of existing pathology. The functional ranges were developed by the American Association of Clinical Chemists (AACC) and are based on a sample of healthy individuals. Utilizing functional ranges to analyze your blood test results allows us to find functional abnormalities before pathology results. Often, these “sub-clinical” abnormalities can be reversed through dietary changes, stress reduction, nutritional support and acupuncture to bring your body back into balance before you reach a pathological state. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1524273549385-795CPSWD2JE0BINQOZ1M/calm-daylight-evening-267967.jpg What is Functional Medicine? - How is this relevant? Based on the findings of your laboratory tests along with your current symptoms and medical history we can develop an individualized treatment program to restore balance and help you feel better. Treatments would include diet and lifestyle changes and natural supplementation. We can re-test at appropriate intervals to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1513563970242-NZ6LPRXCXJAP1SRPUOEE/ADAPT-Level-One-Trained-Badge-500x500.png What is Functional Medicine? - What is Functional Medicine?

Non digestive system symptoms can also stem from gut dysbiosis as well. Fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, food sensitivities, sinusitis, eczema and autoimmune conditions can all be coming from an imbalance in the gut flora. This comprehensive profile identifies pathogens including bacteria, parasites, yeast and viruses. It also measures key markers of digestion, absorption and inflammation.

SIBO can be a cause of many health problems, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, and protein/fat malabsorption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1512602081162-XF6T0G6NR6WQJAVCFQH9/dutch+cortisol.jpg Lab Testing - Adrenal Testing The DUTCH test gives a complete overview of adrenal hormones includes DHEA, cortisol and cortisol metabolites. To fully understand HPA-Axis function cortisol should be tested throughout the day to assess the diurnal rhythm. Only this test includes all of these, merging the diurnal free cortisol pattern seen typically in saliva with the cortisol metabolism picture and DHEAS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1512603726989-MRE0BQVXCCTHCT4N4OO0/39006-Dutch-Web-Banners-1.jpg Lab Testing - Hormone Testing DUTCH testing stands for Dried Urine Testing Comprehensive Hormones. This test measures estrogen, DHEA, testosterone, progesterone and their metabolites. Serum and saliva testing cannot offer an extensive overview of sex hormone metabolites. How the body is processing and metabolizing estrogens and androgens is important in making sound clinical decisions. Estrogen metabolites show a fuller picture of estrogen status and can help reduce risks for estrogen-related cancers by optimizing metabolism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1512603485628-K8SKTK2QVKMF7D418QOV/image-asset.jpeg Lab Testing - Hormone Cycle Mapping This test maps out the hormonal pattern throughout a woman's menstrual cycle. This information is useful for women with infertility, cycling hormones and no menses, irregular cycles, as well as hormonal symptoms that tend to fluctuate throughout the cycle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1523838196475-4MUSVBG4KF62JCTVWBHH/bread-2864703_1920.jpg Lab Testing - Gluten Testing Researchers have proven that 50% of patients diagnosed with Celiac disease do not respond to the one protein (gliadin) being assessed in the conventional tests, instead they react to one or more of the other gluten proteins that are not measured in those conventional tests. Cyrex Labs measures both native and deamidated gliadin along with other gluten family proteins, the opioid peptides from both gluten and wheat, the lectin portion of wheat and wheat as a whole. Because not every person’s gluten reactivity manifests as Celiac disease, Cyrex Labs measures antibodies to multiple transglutaminases to capture those patients whose gluten reactivity manifests as skin disorders or neurological complaints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1523838628013-T5RHRAA7368X54GKUU9Y/basil-delicious-food-459469.jpg Lab Testing - Multiple Food Sensitivity Testing This tests 180 food antigens in their raw and cooked state.

The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing abilities, reduces inflammation, and promotes physical and emotional wellbeing. Acupuncture has neuromodulating effects, such as regulating the polarization of nerves, targeting specific receptors for the release of specific neuropeptides and regulating autonomic reflexes for improved organ and gland function and reduction in pain signals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1524272738740-XDZSTBL3SUXH9STIC56P/image-asset.jpeg Therapies Offered - Cupping Therapy Photo by mariangarai/iStock / Getty Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1524272932652-XAI9SQCRACGVMFMC94AM/electroacupuncture.png Therapies Offered - Electroacupuncture Photo by seiki14/iStock / Getty Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1524273212419-NW0R3MZ3BH5UNRVYTDGM/Ear-Acupuncture.jpg Therapies Offered - Auricular Therapy Photo by tankist276/iStock / Getty Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1512853618474-7WJNC5CQL3RGMR5RQQGN/supplements.JPG Therapies Offered - Chinese Herbs and Supplements Chinese herbal medicine is based on an individualized pattern diagnosis. Your pattern is made up of your signs and symptoms, your emotional temperament, and the overall composition of your body. Herbal medicine is based on the promotion of health and does not limit its treatment to only one part of the body. Herbal formulas may include six to eighteen herbs, working synergistically together to treat the symptoms or disease, as well as your entire pattern. One of the most appealing qualities of Chinese herbal medicine is the low risk of adverse reaction or side effects, especially when compared to pharmaceutical drugs. The Chinese herbal companies that I use are Health Concerns, Evergreen, Herbal Times and Blue Poppy. I also use supplements from Standard Process, Apex Energetics, Designs for Health, Integrative Therapeutics and Pure Encapsulation. All supplements come in capsule or tablet form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1b0925d55b41fc35f07b96/1513650243072-DCZ9RZ49KEUCJGVKPTNO/image-asset.jpeg Therapies Offered - Acupuncture Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine disposable needles into specific points, balancing the body to restore health.
