What is functional medicine?
As a holistic approach to healthcare, functional medicine takes the entire body system into consideration to create personalized treatment plans. At InterveneMD, we can conduct a variety of tests to help patients identify and address the root cause of their health concerns to get them feeling better and live longer.
Where traditional approaches to medicine simply focus on treating the symptoms of illness, functional medicine uncovers a patient’s family history, underlying conditions, and lifestyle factors for tailored solutions to treat the root cause of the symptoms. Additionally, functional medicine gives patients access to alternative, advanced treatments, whereas conventional medicine relies heavily on the prescribing of medications to mask symptoms.
Comprehensive Testing
Our experts understand that chronic health concerns can feel confusing and frightening. When pain and illness disrupt your life, you need reliable testing and clear results. We can conduct the following examinations to help you identify your treatment needs:
- InBody scanning – Assesses your risk factors for a range of illnesses as a form of early prevention.
- NutrEval testing – Evaluates how your vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants contribute to your overall health.
- Hormone testing – Analyzes your hormone levels to help reduce the symptoms related to deficiencies, including menopause and andropause.
- ProdromeScan – Tests plasmalogen levels to identify your risk of developing certain health conditions before they appear, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
- PNOE metabolic testing – Examines metabolic function to determine how the body burns fat.
- Genova Stool Testing – Tests for diabetes, eczema, symptoms of IBS, parasites, allergies, and more.
- Boston Heart Cardiometabolic testing – Encompasses multiple tests to analyze your heart health.
- Toxic Exposure Testing – Analyzes your exposure to harmful substances, including chemicals, heavy metals, and mold.
- Extensive, Comprehensive Bloodwork – Assesses 14 vital components of your blood to address a variety of health issues.
Holistic Treatments
Instead of limited conventional treatment methods, functional medicine creates innovative plans customized to your health needs.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps patients restore their hormones to optimal levels. For men, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can minimize everything from erectile dysfunction to brain fog. For women, hormone replacement therapy serves as the first line of defense against peri- and post-menopause, reducing bothersome symptoms like hot flashes, decreased energy and libido, and frustrating mood swings.
We also offer several lines of nutraceuticals, giving you access to a curated and purposeful combination of vitamins, minerals, and probiotics that can be hard to acquire through diet alone. These nutraceuticals can be consumed as liquids, powders, capsules, and tablets.
