Lab Testing And Personalized Healthcare
Often traditional testing doesn’t paint the full picture needed to understand the underlying contributing factors of a condition. By using your clinical presentation with private and conventional lab testing - we can better understand the underlying physiology and create a custom treatment plan to help you feel your best.
Lab testing is often the first step to uncovering what can be treated through a Functional Medicine approach and IV therapy.
