Functional medicine is a patient-centered and health-oriented approach.
Here's what you need to know about how it helps.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Holistic & Integrative Health Expert Dr. Barbie Allegretti
With functional medicine, we look at the underlying causes of disease rather than diagnosing based on symptoms.
The underlying cause of disease, particularly chronic pain, differs from person to person.
Therefore it is critical to consider biochemical individuality through testing in combination with getting to know the patient and learning of their complete history to support the resolution of pain from the source.

2. Book Your Comprehensive Evaluation Appointment

3. Complete Your Testing
You will receive your test kits from our office or we will deliver it to you. Most tests are completed in the comfort of your home. You can expect to have your results within 2 weeks.
4. Plan of Action & Follow Up
Now that you have had your first appointment and completed your tests you will begin plan of action. Your first follow up appointment will cover an in depth review and interpretation of your test results, an individualized plan targeting lifestyle, nutrition, and recommended supplements. After that, follow up appointments occur every 2 weeks for the first 8 weeks to ensure we are on track.
5. Retest
We are here to help to get started and help you to keep going. Retesting labs is important for us to confirm that not only are you feeling better but your lab values are better too.
