At Empowered Optimal Health, we commonly recommend specialized testing called Functional Lab testing. Functional Lab work provides clues into how their body’s basic and fundamental processes are working.This testing is different from traditional testing because it helps evaluate the root cause(s) of your health challenges instead of just diagnosing you. This testing is done through urine, stool, saliva, and/or blood.
Traditional blood work looks for an already established disease process. Generally, action is taken only when the lab results are out of the normal range. The trouble with this is that many people might not have an actual disease yet, but they are suffering from chronic symptoms already. Why wait until damage has been completely done? Functional medicine lab testing aims to prevent disease before it happens by assessing patterns of imbalance that will end up as a chronic disease, without any intervention.
You already have all of the tools within you to feel better from the symptoms you have been facing. Once we uncover and understand the underlying causes for how you are feeling, we can move forward to address those causes strategically.
Functional medicine testing often reveals remarkable information that can unlock the keys to previously difficult to understand or address health concerns. Having access to this knowledge is remarkably empowering.
