Functional Medicine
Root-cause analysis and treatment combining lab work, nutrition, and lifestyle optimization to support your mental and physical health.
Get to the Root of Your Health
Functional medicine asks a different question: instead of "What disease do you have?", it asks "Why are you experiencing these symptoms?" This approach looks beyond surface-level symptoms to identify the underlying biochemical, hormonal, and nutritional factors driving your health challenges.
At Practical Behavioral Care, our functional medicine services complement our psychiatric care, providing a comprehensive understanding of how your body's systems interact and affect your mental health.
Through advanced lab testing, personalized nutrition plans, and targeted supplement protocols, we help you achieve optimal health from the inside out.
What We Investigate
Comprehensive Root-Cause Analysis
Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones)
Nutritional deficiencies (vitamin D, B12, magnesium, iron)
Gut health and microbiome analysis
Inflammatory markers and autoimmune screening
Metabolic health and insulin resistance
Cortisol and stress response patterns
Food sensitivities and allergies
Toxin exposure and detoxification pathways
The Mind-Body Connection
Research increasingly shows that gut health, inflammation, hormonal balance, and nutritional status have a direct impact on mental health. Conditions like depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline can have roots in these physical systems.
By addressing these underlying factors alongside psychiatric treatment, we achieve better outcomes and help you feel better both mentally and physically.
