Importance of Detailed Diagnostics

Basic labs often overlook critical factors that can significantly affect one's health. Issues like nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and exposure to environmental toxins can go undetected. Understanding these underlying conditions is essential in addressing chronic issues such as autoimmune disorders, fatigue, and hormonal problems. A thorough diagnostic approach rooted in functional medicine can help individuals discover the reasons behind their health concerns and pave the way for effective treatment.
