Is your current approach to healthcare letting you down? Are you struggling to get a diagnosis, let alone relief from symptoms your doctor hasn’t resolved? Too many people don’t know the essential health information hidden in their blood. Why not? Because conventional lab tests are too narrow to reveal that knowledge.

 


Understanding Symptoms and Root Causes


Symptoms, which I call sacred messengers, indicate something is wrong in your body. But traditional blood tests don’t give you the complete picture of what these sacred messengers are trying to tell you. Functional chemical blood analysis (FBCA) is highly specific; it delivers the health knowledge required to address root causes instead of symptoms.

 

Optimal Levels vs Medical Normals

Another difference between the blood tests you know and FBCA is how the results are measured. 


Typical blood tests assess medical normals, which reflect numbers based on the average population, which, spoiler alert, isn’t always healthy. If we’re looking for optimal health, we need to know if our bodies are functioning at optimal levels—not within normal ranges compared to huge groups of people who aren’t us.


FBCA also helps identify red flags that might go unnoticed otherwise. For example, one of my patients had severely elevated liver enzymes, according to their FBCA results. We addressed this potentially dangerous side effect of a prescribed medication before it showed up in normal lab ranges and long before it caused any damage. If this, or some of my other positive patient outcomes, resonate with you,  now might be the time to consider a consult.

 

Toxins Drive Inflammation

Exposure to toxins is unavoidable in today’s world. Toxins are everywhere, from the air to the water we drink. It’s challenging, but optimal health comes from removing toxic products from our homes and being mindful of environmental exposures. Understanding and addressing these toxins is crucial for managing inflammation and autoimmune conditions like MS.

 


A Comprehensive Approach to Healing


My approach combines factual blood analysis with symptom-based questionnaires to create a complete health picture. This dual approach allows us to understand the internal and external factors affecting your health. For instance, adrenal fatigue is often treated without addressing underlying gut issues, which can perpetuate adrenal stress. By following a functional hierarchy of healing, we ensure that each system is healed in the correct order for lasting results.

 

Regular blood analysis provides a clear view of your health. Checking your blood every six months, or at least once a year if stable, helps catch potential issues early. This practice identifies interferences in the body, known as root causes, and offers a deeper dive into your health status. Regular checks allow for proactive management, leading you toward optimal health.
