TESTING & LAB SERVICES
Functional Medicine is a science-based medical approach that focuses on improving physiological function as a primary method of improving the health of patients. The Institute for Functional Medicine defines this approach as personalized medicine that deals with treating the underlying causes instead of the symptoms.
Functional medicine doctors look to correct the imbalances present in patients before any disease is present. Prior to disease onset, functional changes are present. Dysfunction is the state most people live in. It is less than optimal health, less than optimal function, but there is no detectable pathology or disease diagnosis. Imbalances with diet, nutrient status, and toxic burden play central roles in creating the dysfunction. This is a process, which if accelerated, will progress to disease. See The Health Puzzle picture depicting this process.
The South Granville Naturopathic Clinic offers a wide variety of testing and lab services to determine the true functional status of one's health. These tests can show imbalances not yet seen by basic conventional testing.
