Services
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine addresses root causes of chronic illness through personalized treatment plans. Our approach examines genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors to restore bodily balance. Patients benefit from targeted nutrition, detoxification protocols, and advanced diagnostic testing for long-term wellness solutions.
Mold Toxicity Treatment
Our mold toxicity program identifies and treats biotoxin exposure through specialized lab testing and detoxification protocols. We address symptoms like fatigue, cognitive impairment, and respiratory issues caused by water-damaged building exposure using evidence-based interventions tailored to individual genetic factors.
Hormonal Imbalance Management
We diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances affecting thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive systems. Comprehensive testing includes thyroid panels, adrenal stress tests, and sex hormone analysis. Treatment combines bio-identical hormone therapy with lifestyle modifications for optimal hormonal balance.
IV Therapy
Preservative-free IV therapy delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. Our protocols address chronic fatigue, immune support, and detoxification needs through customized vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant combinations administered in a clinical setting.
Allergy Testing
We identify food and environmental allergies through advanced testing methods including provocation-neutralization and ELISA blood tests. Our treatment programs address allergic responses contributing to chronic symptoms like fatigue, digestive issues, and cognitive dysfunction through desensitization protocols.
