What is Root Cause Medicine?
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease by addressing the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. It offers a new operational paradigm and clinical model for assessment, treatment, and also prevention that replaces the outdated and highly ineffective acute-care (disease management) models carried forward from the 20th century. Functional Medicine practitioners spend time with their clients taking detailed histories and considering interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. This enables physicians to practice proactive, preventative, and personalized medicine and concurrently empowers clients to take active roles in their own health and wellbeing.
LAB TESTING
Lab testing and other functional screening tests are used to gain a more specific and comprehensive perspective of a client’s individual needs. Testing can be ordered to evaluate cholesterol, LDL, HDL, blood sugar, HA1C, homocysteine, c reactive protein, vitamin deficiency, mineral deficiency, thyroid, and much more. FOOD ALLERGY TESTING IS ALSO OFFERED.
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
Nutrition counseling involves an assessment of dietary intake, as well as identifying areas where change is needed. As part of your care with Redefining Wellness Center, you will be provided with information, educational materials, support, and follow-up consultations to help you make and maintain the necessary dietary changes recommended.
